Hello, It's me again, and i am very thankful for the quick reply box and the subscribe to post feature

. (i'm probably the most nagging member of the board.... well so shoot me :/ )

Recently there have been quite a few posts to the effect that not enough is being done to help those that come here seeking help. Quite frankly i love anwsering questions as i'm sure quite a few others do.

But it seems to me that those posts that are not replied to immediately get drowned out in the sea of flames (no pun intended). I think it would be a very useful feature to have posts with no reply's flagged.

Perhaps having a section similar to the "recent posts" would also prove useful in anwsering small and short questions. E.G. a listing of all posts with less than 3 replys.

This way it would be possible to ensure that everyone who comes to driverheaven.net gets a reply to their post. And in the case of the "less than 3 replys" listing it would be possible to give every visitor a range of options and responses.

This is, of course, just my opinion and i know just how much work has been done to get this site up as it is.

Still i think it would be a good idea.

-------------------------------
P.S.
As of late i have been trying to track down posts with 0 replys. I think that, however, in most cases the person has left DH because they did not get any immediate response. :/

I think that is a great idea because i have have some 0 post theards to guestions that i realy wanted to get answers to but never did or had to wait like two days use to i could a post a guestion and it would imdetimaly get answered but now it takes forever. What happened around here this site use to busy as hell was just because of the frist xp sp release or somthin? But anyway yes i really do hope that this zero reply of Yeti does take affect.

You could click the Replies link in the forum, which will cause it to sort by replies.

True, hadn't thought of that.... (feels stupid now)... never argue with a mod i guess....

Addendum:
It only sorts it down though

.
I would still argue that it would be more effective if uanwsered threads were highlighted for the casual passer-by. :/

Sorry, but you seem to be unreachable, as for shooting you (no offense, please

)

Either that, or a person became a 'member' never-to-return... Hmmm, any suggestions on what to do with short-term 'members'?
