What's the point of "All-Answered-Unanswered" filters?

[GerdW]

Hi,

I just wanted to filter the LabVIEW board for "unanswered" threads and I got (apparently) "all" threads…

Infact it doesn't matter which of those 3 filters I use (all, answered, unanswered): I always get the same list of threads!

Maybe it matters: I'm logged in.

(Is this an artifact of the last forum renovations?)

Edit:

It gets even better! After writing this message I just tried to filter this Feedback board for "unanswered" threads: My own new unanswered thread wasn't shown anymore!

Did someone at Lithium play with negative boolean logic? 😄

Hi Gerd,

The "answered" filter is meant to be topics with replies, and "unanswered" is topics without replies. However, it seems that neither of these filters are working appropriately. We will need to investigate this further.

Thanks,

Lili

These filters are also pretty useless anyway.

(If I go to the list of my recent posts, a much better filter (that we have requested for years!) would be to only show posts located in threads that have new activity, i.e.show in bold. If somebody replies with a followup question to one of my older posts in a forum that I don't monitor regularly, chances are that I never see it.)

This issue is now resolved.
