How do I IM a question to Fluther?

IM flutherbot with the word “ask”. he’ll guide you through the process. :)

Type ask in IM he / sends you a reply there you type your Q or type cancel to stop it . He / she really gets excited when you type ask .

You guys are making this way to difficult.
22 hours later and still nothing!
Just tell what the screen name is!

Sorry for the misunderstanding. the way you worded your question, i took it to mean you at least knew how to access the bot, but not the command. my apologies.

This blog post will explain the details:

You didn’t say you didn’t have the bot , you made it more difficult for yourself by not saying how to get the bot aswell . Think here then follow the on screen directions , follow the above mentioned posts to send IM Q’s .

How was I supposed to tell you I didn’t know about the bot thing…if I didn’t know about it!
Not everyone here is a power user and knows this kind of stuff.

Well thanks sandystrachan: you answered the question. your link took me to the place where I added my screen name. I then logged in and verified it and posted a test question. I think it worked. I didn’t get my answer back via IM though.

Glad you got it working , you sounded as tho you had it installed before to save the time and hastle you could of said am i ment to install something to get the bot ? Then people would know where you were at, then you would of got a great response that would have sorted your problem right away .

@sandystrachan Had what installed? I didn’t install anything! I like how you people tell me to say “I should have said….” and then something I never knew about. I can’t tell you something I don’t know. I’m sorry, but this service is pathetic. I think I’m going to Mosio.

When i said installed i was referring to verifying the bot , and sorry you wasn’t good enough for fluther. Maybe oneday when you feel its time to come back , we will always be open armed and waiting .
If you didn’t know about the bot how did you know to ask this Q ?

@sandystrachan Don’t tell me I’m not good enough. Sorry, but you need to work on your grammar. And its not my fault they don’t make this service user friendly. I asked the question though the website by clicking the big ASK button on the homepage.

I didn’t know i had to work on my grammar oh masterful one .
Oh wait i know i do , i will openly say i am a dumbass . Yet does it make me a moron , maybe it does . Do i care NO ! . I will also openly say i do not know how to use proper grammar and punctuation , does that make me a lesser person?

MODS: please delete this question, and cancel my account. I’ve had enough!

Enough of what , i answered you back about my grammar .
