How can I get an update on an old question? For instance, this one. I'd like to hope that there have been updates in the software available to someone with this question.
I guess my real question is, how do I ask for an update to a question?

I think this is a very real problem. I'm not sure this is enough of a duplicate to warrant closing, but it can't hurt to bring more attention to slhck's topic.– Daniel Beck ModCommented Oct 19, 2011 at 22:26

@DanielBeck The fact that nobody mentioned placing bounties on old topics is actually quite interesting. It's definitely a way of getting new information for old questions. Otherwise, I like the idea of writing a new community-FAQ question and closing the old one as a duplicate. But that doesn't work for all kinds of questions– slhckCommented Oct 20, 2011 at 11:38

@TomWijsman You should follow that up with an answer to this question and suggest to just mention the question on Meta :-)– Daniel Beck ModCommented Oct 21, 2011 at 17:00

1@wizlog Then there is no way. If you want an answer desperately enough to be updated, then it's worth the reputation.– BinaryMisfit ModCommented Oct 23, 2011 at 14:43

@wizlog Why? Come up with something but in the close on 2 years that SE has been in existence this has never been a requirement.– BinaryMisfit ModCommented Oct 30, 2011 at 20:16
