THIS FORUM > Unanswered Questions VERY OLD

[the3coopers]

Hi all, and hopefully read by a MOD

I was just typed some replies on the other boards, and noticed that there were other "Unanswered Questions" in the pane on the right side of the page.

So I clicked on the first Unanswered Question, and wrote up a helpful response. Then I noticed that the question was asked way back in 2022.

Looking further into it, I notice that the last edit was by a MOD who might have deleted any replies, but had not locked the thread. Hence its status remains "unanswered", and perhaps that pushed the question to the top.

That is silly, because it would make it appear that I was "necro-ing" (bringing up a dead thread). 🤔

Is there a way to stop doing that ??

Even more frustratingly, many (perhaps all) of those “unanswered” questions were at one point answered.

There was a purge - possibly unintended - during a forum clean-up, and it had the effect of deleting replies to questions, as well as deleting saved tags and probably a few other things.

Because the pace on these boards is so slow, you can bet your boots that there aren’t any genuinely unanswered questions.
