How do you decide who to help and who not to help?

Just wondering how each post is evaluated or chosen for offers to help. Not trying to whine here, and I appreciate any help I can get, but I posted several days ago and no one will respond to my problem. And I wanted to update the post , add more info, things I have tried etc but the rules say not to do that, that only posts with no responses get started for help. And I keep logging on and no one answers my post. But I notice other posters more recently posting are getting help. Do you want newer info if I have tried some things in other posts/self-help to resolve. I think the cardinal rule of the rules was not to start a new thread on the same problem. But if no one is going to answer, would like to know now, and if someone is working my issue doing research, I want them to have the most up to date info, logs etc.

I suggest you read the rules. There is a specific area to go if you have been waiting longer than three days for a reply
