While you are waiting for getting help, here are some tips to improve your experience:

Code is much easier to read if posted with syntax highlighting and proper formatting.

If nobody is calling back, that usually means that your question was not well asked and hence nobody feels confident enough answering. Try to use your time to elaborate, provide details, context, more code, examples and maybe some screenshots. With enough info, someone knows the answer for sure.

Don't forget to close your thread using the command </help-thread close:1027500463647621170> when your question has been answered, thanks.

well, u could invest time into making it easier to help u

[lavish plank]

there's a lot u could do

u could share snippets directly here in discord, removing one access barrier. u could explain ur code. u could share screenshot. u could explain the problem in more detail

the more u invest, the likelier someone will help

maybe it's just a feeling, but it's always u who has trouble with getting responses bc of too few details, or am i remembering wrong?

ii can only repeat what i just posted

before u did that, i will keep clicking away ur thread each time u bump it

i guess same happens for other helpers as well

right now ur question is in a Format that i know I would need prob 15 mins of reading until im helpful. don't have that time. ill wait until u prepared it so that it's just 5mins. with the simple steps i mentioned above that only cost u 10 minutes

if ur too lazy to do that, I'm too lazy to help u. its not the first time im telling u that

i gave u a list of things to provide

right now ur code is in pastebin. that's good, but better would be if it's in discord. well formatted text with syntax highlighting

then i dont have to click on a link first

sounds stupid, but many people don't click on links

at least not before they decided to help

that's why i said snippets

u should have the core part of the code here

and the full code on pastebin for reference

and then explain ur code. tell us what's going on, provide context. guide us

Also shows Screenshots

and explain the issue based on the Screenshots

all that makes ur question more accessible and people are more likely to say "ah yeah, i think i can help with that" instead of "oof, i dont even know what it's about, i guess ill help someone else"

this decision is made within a few seconds after reading ur post
