EE Tip of the Week: Get faster responses to your questions!
Experts Exchange is based on a point system economy just like currency is in the real world. The more points you assign your question, the faster it is likely to get a response. If you need help on your question right away or feel that is very difficult, we suggest that you give it the maximum point value of 500 points.
Only you know how urgent your question is, so please use our guidelines below and choose the appropriate point value when posting your questions. To get more points click here Premium Services or here Buy Points.
Here are the suggested guidelines:
This question is urgent or extremely difficult (500 points)
This question is important or difficult (250 points)
This question is not important and moderately difficult (125 points)
This question is not important and easy (50 points)
Remember, Experts are competing with each other to obtain as many points as possible in order to achieve status in the top 15 ranking on their way to becoming the top expert in each topic area.
