Default Why do Users not get back and post with how the problem was actually fixed?

So many questions and even many more answers yet are any of the problems
solved?

What is your opinion of asking a question correctly and then following up on the solution?

Some of mine are..
1/ Always add a line with your Signature of your bike's basics
like model, year, full name and Harley complete letter designation.
summarize your problem and put it in the title.

2/ Specify what the problem is and what has lead up to it if possible.

3/ Specify if someone else is working on it.

4/ If you take it for service, ask for the old parts and post pictures. If
at all possible, have the specify what was done on the paper work and report
back at the end of the post.

????But the subject is why do Users not post back on the solution????

Because they're ungrateful idiots. Who don't want to help a brother or someone else who might come across the same issue out. JMO

Well, FWIW I did the time I had a tire issue.

This forum has been a great resource and I thank everyone here who has given me the many tips that I've gotten here.

I can see why people don't come back. A lot of threads turn into pissing matches real quick and get off track, it seems there are more and more keyboard commandos showing up in this forum.

I actually do, and I give credit to those who help with the solution.
As to those who don't I would imagine either life has moved on or the only time they visit the Forum is in time of need. I've noticed several long time members with very few post.

You forgot a couple of options:

1) All of the above.

2)The user got what he needed and figured since we know it all, we don't need to know the outcome.

3)The user is too embarrassed to tell us he forgot to turn the ignition on.
