PS: I bet in 5 minutes my lacky brain has forgotten it Question posts with no responses David Chamberlain20-Dec-02 3:41 David Chamberlain 20-Dec-02 3:41  We all know that the programming forums are terrific places to post questions, and the questions certainly represent the entire spectrum from overly simplistic to the farthest-out rocket science. As I go paging through the forums that I have some possibility of being able to contribute to, sometimes after pages and pages there will be a question left that never got any responses. I certainly understand that there are some questions that no one has any relevant information about, and others have written about the myriad reasons that some questions don't get addressed. That is all fine. But ... Sometimes there are reasonable questions that can be answered by the very knowledgeable people visiting and participating in CP. The questions just get lost because they end up so far down page after page that they end up never being seen by the people who might be able to do something about them. With the increasing number of questions that get posted in the more popular forums, it is easy for some questions to drift down the stream while all the newer questions are the ones that are seen. So, as a suggestion, or an idea, without any thought as to how to do this or how hard it would be, is there some way that there could be a list (for each forum?) of the 10 most recent questions that do not yet have any responses? This would keep those unfortunate questions that are simple enough to get answered from drifting away into oblivion, and would reduce, if not eliminate, the posts that say "I posted this a few days ago but got no response, so I'm posting again." Unfortunately, one of my pet peeves is about the responses to questions like "Does anyone know who to do ..." and the response is "No, I've never done that." If you have never done that, and the question asks how to do it, then there is absolutely no reason to write back and tell them that you have never done that. Arrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!!!! Anyway, thanks.

I'm sick and tired of visiting forums to find all the questions answered.

The other option is to have a filter to only show threads which only have one message (i.e. no replies).

I think it is a good idea to have the requester be able to indicate whether or not the question has been adequately answered, but I think there is one flaw in the process. The flaw is that the requester must go back and indicate that the question has been answered. If he fails to do this, then even answered questions will still be viewed by others as not having been answered. As we read through those, we all will get frustrated, the system will be broken, and no one will use it. If, as I suggested, we can see posts that have no response, then there is a 100% probability that the question has not been answered. Unfortunately, the flaw here is that even if a response is made, the question may still not be answered. As I indicated, those people who post responses that say "I do not know" need to learn some serious multi-user bulletin-board request/response etiquette. Interesting problem, though, with no clear easy solution. Dave "You can say that again." -- Dept. of Redundancy Dept. Reply Notifications Victor Boctor20-Dec-02 2:24 Victor Boctor 20-Dec-02 2:24  Currently when somebody replies to your posting and you have the email notifications on, you get an email with the reply and with a link which contains the message. In this email notification the email address of the person who posted the message is exposed. I would assume that it should be kept private!

I wonder anybody keep track of them? or Are they just ignored? or Is any surprise element included? Is there a list which we can see? (Ex: Feasible/Not Feasible, Coming Soon....)

Local CP meetings ColinDavies19-Dec-02 11:45 ColinDavies 19-Dec-02 11:45  I've noticed a trend for CPians to be wishing to have local meetings, ( beers with other Geeks ). As a suggestion could a facility be set up on CP as to where && when each meeting will be. That way a CPian can initiate a meeting and it won't add to the clutter of the Lounge and need repeating every 12 hrs.

Re: Local CP meetings Shog919-Dec-02 12:25 Shog9 19-Dec-02 12:25  I'll second this suggestion - it sounds like a good idea.

Andreas Saurwein18-Dec-02 3:17 Andreas Saurwein 18-Dec-02 3:17  Less a question then a fact. CP has normaly no border around the pages but the message bord pages have a 3px white border (I didnt notice this until recently). Looks ugly. (and yes, I am using IE6 - not a 'unsupported' html-visualizer-thingy) I don't think this is a serious possesion, and the evil most likely comes from your hand. Colin J Davies, The Lounge What about putting a "MAX x letters" in the "Subject" when you submit a new message to prevent people to write their message in the subject?
