<p>From a FAQ: <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/7046/how-do-i-get-attention-for-one-of-my-own-questions-without-a-good-answer">How do I get attention for one of my own questions without a good answer?</a></p>
<blockquote>
<ol>
<li>You can &quot;bump&quot; your question by editing the question to <strong>provide status and progress updates resulting from your own continued efforts to answer the question yourself</strong>, or to explain why the existing answers didn't work. I usually do that unless I really hit a dead end with no further clues to follow. Sometimes I eventually bring about enough understanding to realize the answer, and then post a self-answer to my question.</li>
<li>If you have at least <strong>75</strong> reputation points, you can <a href="https://meta.stackexchange.com/privileges/set-bounties">offer a <strong>bounty</strong></a>, promising to give some of your reputation to the user who correctly answers your question. This causes your question to receive additional attention, as it will be added to a &quot;featured&quot; list and be promoted more than normal questions.</li>
<li>Post a link to the question on the site's chat. Usually active users of the site will hang out there, and they can offer further help.</li>
<li>Use the <strong>share</strong> button beneath your question to advertise it to your networks. Then, if you find the answer, you can post a self-answer to help others who come across the same question.</li>
</ol>
<p><strong>Do not post your question a second time,</strong> as it will be closed as a duplicate of your first question.</p>
