    I noticed that the Unanswered Threads link is no longer available. Is that intended to be a permanent change? I hope not, as I think it's a good thing to have...makes it easier to find those who have yet to have their questions answered or to have others assist them with issues.

    I agree. I was just searching for that myself and that is generally where all of my posts come from. I try to help out those that have unanswered questions.

    It would be a good idea if "unanswered threads" cud be included in every forum, so that u look at them forum wise.. rather than have them all clubbed together.
    for example: I would want an "unanswered threads" link in "Other Applications" under "Hoary 5.04 Application and Support"

    I like that idea...but only if it's implemented as an addition to--not instead of--the old link on the bar at the top of each page.

    I just noticed that myself (just got off work) when I looked above when you said something about this.

    Instead of flooding each forum with an extra sticky in which NO ONE will look at, why not make an extra forum in the General Dept with Unanswered Posts. This will reduce the flooding in each forum and also another sticky being placed.

    just to add, the old "Unanswered Threads" query took a huge amount of processing power to satisfy...

    So in other words for those that didn't know what he meant. "It required to much for it to be there"

    Each forum holds a certain amount of MB and requires a certain amount of space for it to load faster and smoother. If not it will slow down and cause backend issues.

    Someone quote me on this if I am wrong, please do if I am, no hard feelings
