Just because a question falls off the first page does not mean that it will not get looked at or answered. Most of us heavy posters look at least a few pages deep for unanswered questions.
If you have no replies to your question, and it has been at least a few hours, and your question is at least a few pages deep, then you are permitted to bump up your question by replying to it yourself. So people do this simply with the word "BUMP" in the reply. This will bring it back to the top page.

The forum is set up nearly the same that is why I asked. I also learned an inportant lesson about "cross posting" apparently your not supposed to do that in the community unless including the link. Never heard of it but they closed my post. See this

I will be sure to use the same process here.

We are not as strict as some other forums, but we do have rules and guidelines here also. You will find a mention regarding cross-posts in our posting guidelines here:

Sometimes "bumping" a post is less effective than just waiting. Many posters use the "unanswered posts" quick link to find questions that have no answer. If you've bumped your post (especially more than once), it may look like your question has already been answered.
If you have a question that hasn't been answered for several hours or a day, take a look at what you're asking and how you're asking it. Have you given enough information that someone could provide a helpful answer? Have you given an example of your input with the expected result? (An example is worth 1000 words). Does it sound like you're demanding help rather than asking for it? Does the title make sense?
