It may be because either no one can understand you're writing (i know i can't). Or no one honestly knows how to help you.

what you have posted above makes absolutly no sense if you want replys just put exactly what you want in a clear concise manner con't try to shorten it make it clear this is not sms so size is not an issue if your request is easy to understand it will attract more replys

I think you may be. I stand by my English skills and I am struggling to understand exactly what it is that you are trying to say.

MATE,Im not trying to start a verbal here, just wanting to find out whether or not the front bumper bar on xk-xl falcon is straight or does it have a slight curve to it.
This question was asked on the two threads I mentioned,classics and Queensland early falcons.
This thread in "the bar" was a simple question as to why no-one could answer a simple thing like that in the other threads,there are so many guys here that own early falcons surely someone could reply to it.
Again ,Im not wishing to start WW3.Thanks

It's just that your first post was a little.. jumbled.

Punctuation is important, especially when you can't communicate verbally.

Fair go Jordyn

You post these 2 questions late last night;

bumper question at 10.37pm
front bumper q at 11.05pm

And you expect an instant reply :

How many early bird owners do you figure are on here that would be able to answer that between when you asked those question and when you started asking why bother in this thread at 9:18am this morning.

Furthermore, you supposedly have the skills to put a big block into an earlybird, along with cutting out the towers, fitting an L300 front end with tilt opening bodywork but you can't figure out what to do cause your bumper may be bent.

Maybe the forum isn't the best place to do it.

theres always an internet search if you need a quick answer.
sometimes the best way is to help yourself first.

Asking at 11.00pm then cracking it at 9.30am the next morning? Most who own these cars are in bed by 8.00pm ...... or at least in there pajama's by then ......

Give it till the end of the day and you will have an answer, I can promise you, from someone in the classics section. Especially if you put a pic up showing the front bar!

WELL SAID, THIS THREAD EXISTS TO ANSWER A QUESTION, NOT TO DISCUSS ENGLISH SKILLS. IM SURE AFTER 1 MODERATOR SAID SPEAK ENGLISH THE MESSAGE WOULD HAVE GOTTEN THRU. NO NEED FOR 3 OTHER MODERATORS TO JUMP IN. PERHAPS NEXT TIME PM THE INDIVIDUAL AND GIVE THEM A TIP RATHER THAN FILLING A THREAD WITH IRRELIVENT INFO.

Maybe check your own grammar to start with rather than the rest of us what to do
