Unanswered numbers dont make any sense

Artemiisia

looking at the picture, this just dont make any sense, unanswered number is 10, but there is only 5 posts when you press it.

one of them is even locked so we cant answer it

Same here ...

Since I rarely see any posts with the Answered Tag* on it then the number of Unanswered Threads should be huge. This list is really the Un-responded To threads.


*there is someway to put that on a post in your thread, I just have not figured it out yet. I have also seen a "Best Answer" in some threads, that is another mystery as to how that comes about, as it is not always the best answer in the thread

@Nestor
You have to specifically tag your thread as a "Question" by using the little down arrow next to "New Discussion" and selecting "Ask a Question".

You'll then be able to select individual posts as the "answer" to your question. Since that is up to the author of the thread, you may not always see the best answer actually getting marked as such.

Some of the questions in your "unanswered" total have long since been archived. That's why they don't appear in the list.

When you have a question post, you will get notification asking you to okay the answer. If you do, the poster then gets a notification that his answer has been accepted.

This is obviously broken, since there doesn't seem to be a time limit waiting for "did this answer your question?" responses.
