Request: Viewing unanswered posts on the Portal page

[Rudi]

Hi Admins,

This is a minor request which will be very appreciated if it can be done...

On the top of the Board Index is a link to view unanswered posts. I find this filter very useful and use it frequently to see if there are new posts that i can help to answer. However, I navigate around the forums from the Portal page, and I was wondering if this link (unanswered posts) could be placed on the Portal page too for quicker access. I am under the impression that many more loungers have the Portal page as their "homepage" in the forum, so it will also allow more loungers to help out with new posts that have not yet been answered.

If this is possible....that would be great!!! TX

I'm sorry, the Portal can be customized to some extent, but "View unanswered posts" is not among the building blocks.

... see if there are new posts that I can help to answer.

Thanks Rudi. I'd not explored this before. Now I shall ....
(later) I note in passing that excepting for Hans's announcements, some guy called Chris Greaves has the oldest unanswered post .....

[HansV]

Update: we're working on this - we'll probably add a link to "View unanswered posts" on the portal.

[Rudi]

Awesome Hans...thanks....if it can be done, it will be great!

PS: Probably the most important item on the forum is a new post from a lounger. More than any other, a new post should be quickly accessible to others for quick and efficient response. That is what drew me to the old WOPR because unlike any other forums, that was one that responded quickly and accurately. Many TX.

Hey Chris...I'll go and answer your thread...then you will feel better...

[ChrisGreaves]

Many TX. Hey Chris...I'll go and answer your thread...then you will feel better...

Thanks Rudi. I'm looking ahead to not being the back marker.

P.S. To all: Watch Out! I have set myself the task of responding to one unanswered post per day and since some of them are really beyond me, we run the danger of frightening people off Eileen's lounge when they get a generic "Well Jupiter always says ..." response.
Pile in before I run amok!

P.P.S. Rudi. Why do we need more than one state of Texas?

Ken...I just answered that "oldest" post.... So it's not the oldest anymore!!

[HansV]

The oldest unanswered post that you can see is Welcome to Eileen's Lounge!
And you can't post a reply there!

[Rudi]

You have a littttle bit of an unfair advantage...I'd say!! :|

Oh yes, Ken. Rudi soon got rid of the Greaves Guy.
TonyE is next for the high jump, as far as I can see.
(I hope he is fond of cats)

[DaveA]

But then the next 3 are mine

[ChrisGreaves]

But then the next 3 are mine

OK.
You can have 'em.
I'm nowhere near as fond of that Dave guy as I am of Tony ...

P.P.S. Rudi. Why do we need more than one state of Texas?

Because it's like a whole other country!

(In case you haven't seen it, that's the Texas State Tourism Board's theme line.)

Layout of portal modified

Oh Great.
Just Great.
Another unanswered post which can't be answered ...

[ChrisGreaves]

Because it's like a whole other country!

Surely Is.
But why do we need "many" of them?

[BobH]

Because it's like a whole other country!

Surely Is.
But why do we need "many" of them?

Well, there's East Texas, and South Texas, and West Texas, and Central Texas, and the Panhandle and North Texas. And there ain't nothing similar about 'em!

Did you know that the treaty between the Republic of Texas and the USA that brought Texas into the Union gave Texas the right to subdivide at a later date into 5 states? (At least that's the legend here in Texas. I never have looked it up.)
