TEAM DISCUSSION: How to write a good forum post?

Liran, if you allow me, I would like to add another reason what compels me to answer questions:

“If I am completely stuck and I get an answer from Wix, I feel l more inclined to help out others”

For me, helping out is a two-way street. I cannot help but noticing that when the"oldies" (Andreas, David, me, and maybe others that I forgot to mention) are stuck and ask a question, they might just as well have quoted the Swedish Nation anthem: it´s just as useless.
Take one example from a very good “newcomer”: @stcroppe . He contributes, his questions are to-the-point, concise, compact and sufficiently explained with (edited) screen shots and examples. But he, like us, simply gets no answers to many of his questions. Why? A year ago, we received helpful answers from Team 1.0, the creators. Then we saw echelon 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0 coming. Tai and Yisrael are still doing their best.
But so many questions are simply ignored by Wix. Why? We might be a little bit further up the road and thus we cannot be answered with a link to an article. So we need an answer from the ones in-the-know.

So, t, at least for me, it frustrates me not getting an answer to a serious question and I am therefor less inclined to help out others.
