    Unanswered posts

    Hey all, thought you might be interested in a recent change. Go to Quick Links on the Navigation menu and click Unanswered Posts.

    This will search all threads that have no replies. It might help when trying to find a thread that has not been answered.

    Enjoy!
    Eric

    I was goin to ask where the navigation menu was as I couldn't see any Quick Links option.

    But as soon as I logged in it showed up.

    FWIW, another way to get there is to click Search, select At most in "Search Options" | "Find Threads with", then click Search Now.

    No set time period. Whatever ya like. If it's really old you can figure the author probably won't be back to check but it's up to the user

    So 2weeks makes sense?

    the author probably won't be back to check but it's up to the user
    I thought all thread's authors automatically received email notice of answers to the thread.

    Depends on their settings. That's the default but you can change it.
