When is the best time for asking questions? Weekends or weekdays?

It depends on how fast you expect an answer. Right now there are few enough questions for people to go through nearly all of them to pick the ones they want to answer. In other words you don't need to hope your question gets seen on the home page to expect a good answer.

If you want a faster answer, I think offering a tip will help more than strategizing what time of day to post the question. One thing I have noticed is that very few questions are asked overnight indicating that most of the users are in the US.

For some strange reason, I think weekday mornings and afternoons are really good. I'm on fairly often and I see more answers to questions during these times. However, it's slow right now.

People are probably out of town for the weekend.

Not the weekends as much as the weekdays, and it seems like people take a break for the holidays!

There are a couple really good answerers that scan the site often. That's why they have the highest number of points.

It has been slow around here during the holidays, the site launched 10 days before Christmas, so the launch momentum seems to have hit a wall, I am sure there was a reason for the holiday launch and I sure hope Answers can regain the momentum it had during during it's first week. I would say anytime is the best time to ask a question, there are no definitive stats yet on when the best time to ask is.

I have a feeling it won't matter in the long run... right now, because of the holidays, there has been a slight difference in speed of getting answers but many of the people that give the most answers will likely be on here regardless of it being a weekday or weekend.

My experience has been more like US daytime instead of night time. I have noticed no difference between weekday and weekend.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
