Let's celebrate ! And thank you Ben for this interesting info.

519 days ago, the LV board reached the 250k messages mark. Today it counts 365k messages. So we can calculate the amazing average of about 221 messages/day for this sole board !

Today, NI community members answer 46 percent of all questions that arise in online discussion forums

Huh? Am I the only one who thinks that number is a bit low? I know that the blue users answer a lot of stuff, but at least in the LabVIEW board, I don't think they're anywhere near 54% and probably not even half that.

It is probably the percentage of threads that contain zero blue contributions. 😮

I noticed a lot of times  that some threads that were answered by blues  were always exactly 2 days after the message was posted.

It is my impression that the blue bars are not supposed to reply to a thread until after it has set idle for two days. That is the main reason I use direct channels to report bugs (after two days I will have forgotten about it completely ).

I thought the same thing Yair but speaking for myself, I don't count replies as answers if they don't address the issue in the question. I can also remember a time when Dennis and myself would work week-ends just to make sure every Q got a quality reply. The Forums traffic has grown big-time since then and now I can barely keep with thanking (Kudoeing) people for the help. Y'all do keep me entertained with all of your postings. After tens years of LV I am still learning new ways to do things.

BTW, how you know such lot of proverbs. I saw lot of your replies ending with a superb proverbs like this.

Thanks,

Yep, it's part of the local NI office. A lot of questions from me are answered by NI personel at NI Netherlands, (the same ones I speak on the phone so you get some acquintance with each other).
