Here is the emergency forum filterd by number of replies for the last 7 days:

Yes, but the only way to access unanswered threads is to go to this thread that we are talking in now, which I think a lot of people don't look at.

Not correct, although I only recently learned how to do it for myself.

Near the top of the page (any page), I click on "find threads," and the dropdown menu has several choices. One is "unanswered threads."

Also, in any section of the forums, I can change the sorting of the threads (fewest replies first, for example.) I can also change which threads are displayed--for example, only ones that have received posts in the past week. I think combining those two options is exactly what casportpony just did for the emergency forum.

So I'm seeing that there are actually many, many more unanswered posts than what we are addressing here within this thread?

I'm understanding it better now.

I think what we're seeing in this thread are the ones within the last month or so, from all sections of the forums. That seems fairly reasonable to me--no point in answering something five years old, for example!

Yup, that's correct

Down do 9 pages, and pages 8 and 9 are all BST posts.
I'm working on this page:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/find-threads/unanswered?page=7

I’ve just been directing those posts to their state thread. Is there a better way to answer these?

 

[casportpony]

What would be helpful to me is a list of people and their areas of expertise.
I have a list of duck and peafowl people, end people that like answering the emergency threads, but that's about it.

Another thing I am noticing are many of the threads might get replies if they are in different forums. I've seen duck and turkey threads in the general breed discussion forum, and duck egg hatching stuff in the emergency forum.

Project managers can't move them any more to the better forum
