Hey guys, why is there so much disdain on this forum?
Where did you see disdain?
I wrote that without the code to reproduce it, it would be empty chatter and I really think so. But I am friendly towards you.
I had a period when I started to create a topic on this forum, but found the cause of the bug while I was making the code to reproduce it. After which I did not publish a new topic because the problem was solved while I created the code to reproduce it. This has happened to me many times.
That's like a driver training student asking his teacher, "What am I doing wrong?" and the guy answers, "You need to drive better!" 🤣
What you're doing is like calling a car repair shop and asking "any idea why my car stopped working"?
In order to check whether there are runtime errors in the log, it is not necessary to create a new indicator. I suggested that you make a new simplified indicator so that other users can reproduce the situation you describe.
Dude, of course I check
I am STRONGLY suggesting you to change your tone and attitude when you are replying to people trying to help you.
You don't show any code so it's not possible to help with more details. With a positive attitude you will see that my answer is correct and lead you in the right direction.
Trying to help me? I strongly suggest you drop the disdain, arrogance, and superior air. You have, over a period of months now, offered no help at all except for pointing out that undocumented feature about custom indicator placeholders. And you have a reading comprehension problem, apparently. Exactly where did I ask for help other than if someone had any ideas? You're just pissed because I've criticized your precious MQL5 in the past. Have you ever programmed in another language? I'd be surprised if you had.

Yes, exactly. And the mechanics who are worth paying either say, (and they do this often,) "Well, it could be x or it could be y, and in rare cases it's sometimes z. Beyond that I'd have to take a look."
That's how experienced experts answer a, "Got any ideas?" question.
A mechanic that showed the kind of attitudes that are the norm for some people on this forum would promptly see my backside, and that's the last they'd see of me.
I code 8-12 hours a day and run into lots of puzzlements every day. Haven't you noticed that I seldom ask questions here anymore? There's a reason for that.

Yes, you've been friendly, and thank you!
The problem isn't really with you. Alain's response here was worthless aside from its veiled chiding quotient. William, too, has been a bucketful of hoo-has, but he's (thankfully) stopped responding to me. You, on the other hand, have been one that actually thinks my questions through and at least tries to take a stab at then. Usually you come up with great points.
I responded in general only because the dissing has been standard fare here for a long time, especially for some, and no one seems to raise an eyebrow about it. Your coffee grounds quip kinda qualifies, tho. It's not "empty chatter and fortune telling" to ask folks if they've run into a similar situation, which is all I did and all I wanted.
I say pretty exactly what I mean, not something else.

I can't accept this. Believe it or not I am trying to help, why would I post otherwise, and I just received this rant !?!
I banned you 1 week for this unacceptable attitude and offensive messages.
