[Qgis-user] Vectors data and raster with same projection didnot overlap

[Nadarajah Thirugnanasothy]

 I was trying to help someone and had similar problem with two sets of vector data. Tried all these methods and failed.When I searched the net to find an answer, I found many people have similar problem.What about some one actually showing how to do this with a data set and posting it as a tutorial (with screen shots) some where. I do not have the data set that I was playing with.
Thank youThiru(I am 70 years old & retired now. Had used ESRI/ArcView & Arc Info about 10 years ago )

The only correct way to reproject a vector layer is to use "Save as..." 
under a different filename and different CRS.

If you are not sure which data is correct:

Set Project CRS to EPSG:3857 and enable on-the-fly-reprojection
Add a Openstreetmap or Google background with the Openlayers plugin
Add the untouched datasources one by one and chekc if they align to the 
background
