Question Channel

Is there a way to cancel a question that you have asked?
Beit you have found the answer you were looking for before someone replies, or possibly that no one is on to reply to you and you don't have to keep seeing....

You ask 'I am still waiting for help on:.....

The rest of the time you are on.

The only method I have found to fix this is to log off and back on. But, it is rather hard to clear it that way, especially if you are involved in a roleplay at that current time and can't get away for a few moments while you log out and reconnect.

Just type 'ask' again, and it will stop.

I was fairly certain someone would beat me to the answer, but I'll confirm that yes, just use 'Ask' again but without any qualifying text...

...Mainly, so I can poke fun at you Valdimyr and remind folks to use the Help Files and the board's search engine

for example ;

Ask Is there a search function on the boards?

Meanwhile... Valdimyr discovers this post about the ask answer system
http://www.forgottenkingdoms.com/board/ ... php?t=5349 as well as all the information that Mask put under Help Ask and Help Answer

Ask

This echoes to the Helper channel that you no longer need an answer and closes the question to prevent repeats.

Duely noted. I appreciate the help and I am slapping myself in the head for this one.........
I am usually very good about using all possible help files on a MUD, I guess it had something to do with it being so late, and having had no sleep for the last 48 hours.

Oh well, just another day in the life of a cripple. Tired as can be, though the pain just won't let you go to sleep.

Don't worry Val --

It gives me hope in the universe that I am not the only one who asks "silly" questions. And I can alway find some dooseys, if you ask anyone who has ever answered a question from me on the channel.

*thumbs up*

But at least I get the answer!

There are no silly questions, only silly answers. As long as you apply yourself and use up all available ideals and ideas before you ask, you cannot go wrong. Never be afraid to ask questions, because it's fun in some respects.
