I know many here aren't keen on it, but I still think there should be a minimum standard for questions that should be applied. Not quite StackOverflow's insane level, but just something to keep the QA section useful and usable (and give us a fighting chance of answering questions rather than asking the OP to post his code every time).
Now is it bad enough that you let somebody else kick your butts without you trying to do it to each other? Now if we're all talking about the same man, and I think we are... it appears he's got a rather growing collection of our bikes.

May be add multiple yes no box on submit.
Have you add your code?
On yes
Are you sure you picked the right part?
On yes
How about error messages?
You get tge idea...

Could work, but my guess is everyone would just automatically check them.
Maybe a "in review" queue where questions can be rejected and sent back to the OP for improvement before they're published to the wider community? Or even an "in review" list which is visible and that we can look at, accept or reject (with comments) but not answer? So the question has to be accepted before it can be answered..

My suggestion was a joke, but your suggestion make sense. But if an op has issue with language and some butt hurt refuse to let the op pass, would be very much discouraging

Language improvements could be part of the suggestions made back to the OP - people reading the question have to be able to understand what's being asked.
I've seen quite a few questions where it's impossible to tell what's being asked, and often they never get any kind of answer - what's the use of content like that on any site? What does anyone learn from it?

Well don't be so down on yourself,
seems to me like you actually got one of the smarter posters with a tad more skill than others...
these days most when asked to show their code post pictures of it (and yes, often taken with a mobile phone.)
At least this guy figured out how to paste the actual text.
signature upgrading ... please wait.

Perhaps a "Beginners" section would relieve some of that. Some of the Linux forums have an area dedicated to noobs.
FWIIW: I have also forgotten about keeping the console active, most of my programs crapware tends to be console stuff.

A "Beginner" section could take us a long way. Last night I found this and this and attempted to answer. I just have 3 years of experience, so I can only imagine what it's like for you guys.

Long time without programming, but is the reason for this because the program exits so fast it does not display anything ?
My dos box used to make a pause before exiting.

Oh yes! This is native code, on a fast enough PC you don't even get to see the console window open...

Just checked in old projects
When ctrl+F5 to start without debugging, it prompts automatically (code above would dispay hello world)
When F5 not, but usually you have breakpoints in your code - and the indication that nothing showed was a sign that you misplaced your breakpoint in non executed code...

For a complete noob, I can understand his frustration. It is annoying as he__ to have to look up the right 'getch,' or stream overload call every time someone posts code like that, which presents itself as a newbie example. Those who write for newbie's, NOT EVERYONE WILL BE DOING EVERYTHING THROUGH A CONSOLE! Take the time to make sure your code doesn't disappear in the blink of an eye on them!

PB&J Oreos.
That's it. Game over.

I had to google what PD&J was! I don't think I have ever eaten an oreo.

Is that "they are good" or "eewww! Shoot the inventor"?
If good: nah. Chicken sate at a street stall in Thailand or Malaysia. Oh yes. The Perfect Food - and I exaggerate not, these are better than BACON!
If bad: Meh. Oreos are not even good biscuits (too dry, and too sweet for me) but PB goes well with so many things - including BACON - that it could well improve them.
Mind you, there is now a PB Twix bar[^] which has to set a new low standard for chocolate-biscuit-type-sweeties.

The jury is still out. The best thing I ever had with PB&J was when it was on a burger. That was goooood!
|
|

In a word, ick .
I love PB&J, in fact it's my favorite post-long-run recovery food. I love Oreo's™, as cookies and milk are my favorite post-work-debacle recovery food.
Mixing the two together... blech.

Happy user of Windows 7, see other Windows 10 rants. This is not a rant, I just despise the default, built in desktop manager Microsoft "included" in Windows 10.
Does anyone know how to turn it off? I want my old manager back.

Care to describe the problem you are having with the desktop manager?

I also don't care for egg plant, if you serve it to me, I will politely skip it. If you insist, I will eat elsewhere.
I've used one virtual desktop manager for 5+ years on Windows 7. I like it, I know all the short cut keys, I understand it's behavior.
