Ask HN: How to ask in StackOverflow and get answers?
I always write questions based in the "How-To" displayed always that you are about to make a question but most of the questions doesn't pass the guidelines for asking a question. What suggestions do you have for asking in Stack Overflow?
Most of the information anyone needs on asking good questions is in the link that @admay posted. I'll just add/reiterate:
1. Show some effort. Don't ask people to "do your homework" so to speak. Explain what you already did / tried, what your current working theory is, etc.
2. Include relevant details. More is usually better, although you don't necessarily want to write a novel.
First you should ask how to ask HN to get good answers, as I am afraid this post will be ignored
Some bits of StackOverflow are pathologically awful.
If you gave an example question here people might be able to tell you how to ask it to get useful answers.
