Unanswered Posts

[Dipsy Doodle Doo]

Hi!
Is there a way that unanswered questions can stay 'at the top of the list' til they are responded to?
I've seen forums that, unless a post was responded to, it sat at the top of the list.
Would that be difficult?
Just a thought

Thanks, Lisa

There are so many in the BUY SELL forum - unless you excluded those, that would be all that folks would see.

Yeah, I click on the "unanswered posts" and usually try to answer some if they have been there a while. Most of the stuff in there are buy sell trade posts so I wonder if that would just fill up the front screen.

It's an interesting idea and I encourage everyone to view the link to "Show unanswered posts" on the home page and see if there are things that "need" to be answered:

Keep in mind that this is 60 x 30 topics, or 1800 topics that would flood the first couple pages of each forum.

I think we all want everyone to have answers to their questions, but I think we also all know that some questions get asked without a search or a thought by the poster and some... how shall I say... deserve no reply!

BST&G would obviously need to be excluded.
I don't think the unanswered posts stayed at the top indefinitely, just maybe 24 hrs or so.
