Hi Alan,

My question is the following, as I posted it in another article.

I am wondering how to ask a question. As you can see, I do post a question sucessfully. Here is the example, http://www.english-test.net/forum/ftopic28745.html. But in the following test, I didn't find out the button or link "Do have you a question?". Here is another example. http://www.english-test.net/esl/learn/english/grammar/ei020/esl-test.php . I only see the link "Click here for Explanation." indeed. I want to know if this forum supports this function for ALL of the questions. Thanks a lot.

Maggie^^

Hi Maggie,

Apologies for being a bit slow. I see what you mean. As it's technical, I'll have to refer it to Torsten.

Best wishes,

Alan

Hi Maggie,

Thanks a lot for raising this issue as I assume a lot of our users might be asking themselves the same question and they'll be interested in the answer. Every of our interactive test question is connected to the forum. On the top right-hand corner of every test question you will find a button that takes you directly to this forum here. If nobody has posted a forum message regarding a particular test question, the link/button is called "Do you have a question?". This means, if you click on this link and post a question, you start a new forum thread on that test question. If somebody has already started a forum thread on that test question, the link is called "Click here for explanations".

Let me know if this makes sense.
Regards,
Torsten

Hi Torsten and everyone,

I totally understand it now. Moreover, I think it's a very intelligent thought and idea. It does make a more structural website and a good environment for us, English learners.

Thanks a lot.

Maggie Smile

That's great to hear, Maggie. Please do let us know if you have any questions because we see the system from our perspective and it's sometimes difficult for us to guess what questions our users might have.

Many thanks,
Torsten
