    Only a few people spend much time responding to posts in the forums. Developers are busy with the code, and, I guess, experienced users are busy with their web sites. So there is no magic key to getting fast answers. What's needed is for more people who've learned their way around Tiki to one degree or another would contribute back a little time and expertise.

    I think it would also be very helpful for those of us who do try to answer forum posts, if the question included as many details as possible:

    • What Tiki version?
    • What theme?
    • What environent?
    • Provide a working URL or screenshot that illustrates the problem.
    • Any customizations you may have applied?

    And, most importantly, __check the documentation and FAQs first. I find that about 75% of all the questions I answer are covered in the docs.

    Oh... and reading through Smarties probably would be a good idea, too! 😉

    damn, i wish i could quote you, but there is no button for such.

    all the tiki installation data should be saved in profile.

    btw. which theme do i have to select here to get the forum displayed in full width?

    Posted by Gary Cunningham-Lee posts: 4663 Japan

    By 'full width' do you mean that forum posts take the full width of the browser window? If so, this isn't a theme setting; it's a site option (Look and Feel admin option, on tiki-admin.php?page=look). I'm not sure of the reasons, but at this site the setting is to show all three columns all the time. Actually, most forum posts only have content of some text, so I wonder why it would be good to show them full-width. If there is a good reason, then the site Look and Feel settings could be changed. If you mean at your own site, then you can change it on your Look and Feel admin page ('show columns' and/or 'layout by section' options).

    pi, I think that you need to ask yourself the opposite question also:

    "What would be the best way for me to provide fast answers to others?"

    This is a community, and only some of the Consultants can (or decided to) dedicate some (or all) of their professional time to provide (payed) quick answers to customers. Maybe you need to consider talking some some consultant instead, if you need faster answers from a Community where most users only look for answers to their own questions, instead of also helping to answer questions from others?

    you are right, but because of not using tiki for some years i need a little bit time to learn before helping.
