Many of my posts over the last couple weeks have gone unanswered... to those of you who've responded to some, I appreciate it. I just noticed a few mins ago that I can choose between posting a "question" or "discussion"... maybe that's why I haven't gotten many responses as I'm posting them all as questions? I think maybe a "discussion" would be better? I'm looking for guidance here.
The set up is designed that a Question is for a specific, verifiable answer whereas a discussion is more designed for conversations and opinions about a topic and there is not necessarily a "right" answer.
Honestly, it's up to you. I've seen it go both ways, and it's not something we "regulate" but, the only difference is on a discussion question Staff can't "verify" a correct answer which allows it to appear at the top. The same with other users "suggest as answer" - those features are not a part of a discussion quesiton.

Hi Jim,
The set up is designed that a Question is for a specific, verifiable answer whereas a discussion is more designed for conversations and opinions about a topic and there is not necessarily a "right" answer.
So when don't have enough information to know whether there is a "right" answer or not, it should be a discussion.
Thanks
Jim
