Someone (maybe a volunteer, maybe a bot) may give you this link if you have asked "is it okay to ask a question?", or "Can someone help me with a problem?" This is considered by many to be poor online etiquette. You will get a better response if you ask your question immediately in the first post.
Just ask your question.
In future, just ask your question immediately - do NOT ask "Can I ask a question?" or things like "Is anyone around?"
You can and should read more at and at
Also, try to prepare your question for the best chance of a good answer, and to respect volunteers' time. See: for some advice on this.
