Post emergency WordPress questions for fast help... ...Or answer questions first & win prize money.
For new users, we wanted to put up a brief tutorial on the process of asking a new question and making payment arrangements through PayPal.

In Step 1, you are prompted for a Question Title (65 characters or less) and Extended Explanation:

Our aim is to create a market for WordPress help, so that you can ask your WordPress questions and get fast, expert information. Please explain your problem with enough detail that the Experts can answer accurately. If you've forgotten a crucial detail, you can always edit your question later.

In Step 2, you can add optional tags or upload a screenshot:

The tags help our Experts determine if your question is in their area of expertise. The image-upload is useful to show Experts, visually, what kind of problem you're having.

In Step 3, you can set the dollar amount for your question.

In Step 4, you'll see a summary of your question and the overall charges. Our fees are 12% of the prize that you've offered, plus 90 cents. This on top of the prize you are offering, so a prize of $30 leads to a total cost of $33.20.

Click the "Pay" button and you'll be taken to PayPal to pay:

Once you've paid on PayPal, you are redirected back to our site.

But wait, is the question showing up? We rely on PayPal to ping our servers and say "This transaction was good". This takes several seconds, and sometimes you will return to our site before PayPal has pinged our servers. Just wait a few seconds, and then hit refresh. Now you will see that your question is active:

As soon as your question goes live, we update our RSS feeds and we also post a link on Twitter, instantly notifying the many people who might be able to help you.
