Community House Keeping

We can see a good number of threads being created as "questions" in this forum. But lots are not flagged as answered (red question mark). Would that mean: 1. No suggested answer has been provided for all of these? 2. Members of this group don't care flagging good answers? 3. Other?

I always thought it was the original poster's responsibility to mark thread as answered.

#2.  Though it's not so much "don't care" as "don't think about it".  You would have to send me a reminder email saying "Has your question been answered?"

The OP?

When a question is being posted each user answering back can post a "suggested" answer but it's the original poster that will have the permission to flag his question being answered.

Great suggestion  [mention:3cb137fff0074190a2d3f32e55cf403a:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]... I'll put that in our roadmap.

Or at least have an easy way to view unanswered questions. By topic/raised by me/longest outstanding you know the sort of thing.

[mention:ea19cc69d5b94376bb29ded478b5d26b:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]  on any of our new groups, when you go to the forum page, you should be able to "filter" posts

Ah cool; cheers Jean,  I rarely venture to the individual forums! I tend to just do everything from the front page.
