Yes they are. Just scroll down and look at the last 3 months. It is as
always. The search link doesn't make your point. It also doesn't show
how extremely difficult or impossible offline file problems are to
resolve - alone. My question was basic and simple (why I dared to post
it) though to make your point (whatever it is), you will probably ignore
it. I am not bothering to raise much more difficult offline related
questions. I've just resigned to the freakish behavior. Every time I
come here to post an offline question, I scroll down, notice the continued
trend of unanswered questions and move on.
My point is that there are questions and answers in reference to Offline
folders - making your 'Why are offline file questions always ignored?' query
false. Ignored always would imply no answers to such questions at all,
ever - untrue.
Why are there not as many as other questions and/or not answered by a
majority of the frequent-responders of these groups? Probably because most
people have discovered the feature usually does not function with any manner
of consistency that would deserve further use and better products/methods
exist. ie: More trouble than they are worth.
Windows Vista now calls them Offline Files now - and they say they have
fixed some of the issues that have plagued Offline Folder users since
Windows 2000...

It's worked for you all this time... Great! I didn't say it did not work -
I said with consistency. And things that do not work with consistency do
not get pushed by the people who might answer questions here the majority of
the time (volunteers who have extensive knowledge on one or more Microsoft
products/general computer usage.)
