I didn't mean to scold. and community support has dwindled. I was recently talking to a Core Team member about this, and participation in this forums is not as active as it once was. There may be many reasons. I try to post as often as possible, but it's only logical that old contributors get tired from posting answers to the same questions. All that being said, source is available and everyone can find answers. Doing some research always helps, but most posters prefer the easy way.
I also believe that some people are somehow obfuscated when trying to find answers and blame it on dnn, they tend to forget that it is just another aps.net app and whatever applies to the framework also applies to dnn.
Your comment about documentation is only half right. There's plenty of it, and I've always encouraged developers to do more than ask. That's how I found my way. There are thousands of members complaining about documentation, I have yet to find people, aside from the usual ones, creating documents.
Anyway, this is not directed at you, it's just stating facts. And I hope you get answers, but I hope even more that you post them for others.
