| Aug 11, 2010 at 22:57 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | Yeah, I misunderstood something there, I thought you talked about the amount of answers to a question because of the presence of the answered question. But again, to clarify my view on the sentence I mentioned earlier and your response (it's probably just a typo you made that confuses me): Answered questions shouldn't be marked as answered in the unanswered when this issue is fixed, they don't belong there as that is the reason of the clutter. | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 18:36 | comment | added | Pylsa | @Tomwij I know, that's why it's convenient when solved questions are marked as answered... I'm backing you up! =P I was responding to "The fact that these questions pop up as unanswered while they obviously are, so they clutter your search for new questions to answer?" from Ivo. | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 17:36 | comment | added | Tamara Wijsman | @BloodPhilia: Rgegarding the second sentence of your comment: The amount of answers on a question doesn't indicate whether it's answered... This is not useful to me for deciding whether to ignore the link. | |

I can't fill in the blanks either, it should be one that makes the oldest end of the unanswered questions proper if that at least is a feasible solution. Not to forget that the questions in the middle between new and old might have the same problem. Bounties and other elements don't solve the problem that users don't upvote or accept answers to their questions, which makes it hard for people that want to check and try to answer these older questions... It just seems wrong to just ignore those. | |

These aren't issue when looking at the newest questions, but they are when looking at the oldest questions. I think it's a bad behavior to just ignore these old questions as they do need an answer too, even if the one who asked the question doesn't need an answer anymore the people who find the question still do... When I look at the last pages, the signal to noise ratio looks terrible to me. This ratio doesn't grow, but the amount of unanswered questions does which feels wrong to me... | |
| Aug 11, 2010 at 16:34 | comment | added | Pylsa | I think that indeed is the problem. An answered question is spotted in the list almost immediately so you know there's no use in clicking the link and trying to answer it. | |
