Some people feel ignored

[Jim]

Things can move so fast on the forum. While we're typing a response to a post, 20 newer posts could slip off the front page and unless you go looking you'll never see them. Imagine asking a question here and not getting a single answer, you'd feel pretty unloved. It doesn't happen much but it does happen. So knowing how awful that can make you feel, at least once a day I go and seek out any unanswered questions or posts. But I do sometimes forget. So thought it would be good if we had a little army of people doing this now and again, just to catch some poor newbies intro that somehow gets missed,

It's really easy to filter for unanswered posts, please do this as often as you can, you'll be surprised by how many there are. Many don't require an answer, they might be a posted joke, but nestled between them is often some poor poster who thinks we hate him. Thanks

Jim if we find one and can't answer it ourselves what action should we take?

 

[Jim]

I normally say something like, "Can anyone help John here" or "Does anyone know what's causing this" That bumps the post and gives them a chance of getting an answer

You learn something new everyday on this forum. I have never noticed that filter thing before.

Just had a look at this and am amazed at the number of unanswered threads. Will try to remember to check it and respond accordingly.

Some times the birthday greeting can get lost so I usually go in search put Jim in then all the birthdays for that day come up, it's a shame when some times they get lost in the fast flow of the forum.

just realised there are more options by tapping on the motorhome above blue bar than on the 'what's new' on the blue bar that has loads on..

 

[Lenny HB]

[Dorset Diver]

There's always one , but also a good point.

Hi, Jim, are you feeling unloved if so i love you

 

[Minxy]

It think BEFORE you can use the filter you first have to click on What's new to get all new posts show, then you should see the filter.

gordon bennett mel, give him a chance, the speed at which this forum moves, and how he keeps it running so smoothly, his brain must be going at warp speed..
my brain hurts just trying to keep up with a few threads, let alone the trillions on here..

Just tested, the filter bar is there on ipad, iphone, iMac and even dug out the Galaxy tablet (aren't they awful) and that showed it too (eventually)

Awww Jim. You are a little love doing this.

I try but sometimes miss them. Thanks for pointing out the Filter system.
