I won't mark my archived, unanswered questions as 'answered'

The 'My Questions' link brings up a list of questions I've posted, with the as-yet unanswered ones at the top of the list, begging to be marked as answered. But they can beg all they want, because they weren't answered and that's that.

That's entirely your call. Just curious ... why were
you thinking that you were required to mark
them as answered?
I wasn't. I was, however, noticing that every time I post a request for help with a problem yet receive no responses that solve the problem, the list of unresolved questions on my My Questions page grows by one, and, further, I was thinking that, since those questions eventually become archived and it's therefore impossible for anyone to answer them if they haven't already, it behooves Apple Discussions to allow the option of marking an archived question as 'Never Answered', or otherwise remove such old, unanswerable posts from the most prominent position on the My Questions page, where the administrators seem to have positioned them so as to encourage me to flag them as answered.

  • Unanswered question

    Hi,
    I am bit confused about what 'Unanswered question' means which is present at the bottom on every forum's main page. Now according to my understanding it means that it has not been answered. No replies at all.
    But why has the following thread been still marked as an unanswered question
    DB Performance problem
    Or maybe I need some more clarification.

    The icons to the left of :
    Answered question
    Unanswered question with answer points still available
    Unanswered question
    Are the keys to symbols used in the second column
    If this answers your question then awars points and mark your question as answered ;-)

  • How to get a mod. removed question out of my "Unanswered Questions screen"

    Hello All,
    I don't know where to ask this. So, I'll try here.
    I have a question still listed in my "My Questions" screen.
    It was removed by the moderators some time back, but remains in my "My Questions" screen.
    It was removed pretty quickly by the moderators, so there was no time to mark it as answered.
    So, now it appears as though I have a permanently unanswered question. So, my log-in will always show 1 unanswered question.
    Right now, I see on the left-hand side, a message that says:
    "You have 1 unresolved question(s)."
    So, I am wanting to find out if there is any way for me to have this question removed from my account. This way I won't have any unanswered questions listed that are not actually active.
    If you are a moderator with access to this, I'll grant you permission right here to remove this from my "My Questions" page.
    The question in question is:
    Mac Mini 1.5 CoreSolo really a CoreDuo???? - No Intel 1.5 CoreSolo Made
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=392125&tstart=0
    Under the link, it says: "Administration » * Posts Removed by Hosts"
    If there is a way that I can remove it from my "My Questions" page, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
    Otherwise, could a Administrator or Moderator help me to do this.
    Now, understand that if contacted for log-in information, I'm going to need some proof of the person being a moderator. I'm not going to give my account info to just anymore
    Thank you in advance for any help you can offer.
    I'll look forward to hearing from you

    Hello All,
    I just came back in, and noticed that they have removed the question from my "My Questions" screen.
    So, looks like it is all fixed now
    Thank you Moderators / Administrators.
    It is much appreciated

  • Bad Stats on threads for unanswered questions

    There seems to be a bug in the thread view for unanswered questions that says
    This question is not answered. Helpful answers available: 5. Correct answers available: 1.
    for any unanswered questions. The 5 and 1 numbers are fixed text and never change, like they are placeholders for some calculation that was going to be implemented to count posts flagged as helpful / correct that was never implemented.
    Also, it would be nice when replying to a post if the new page displayed contained the original post being replied to at the top for reference and copy/paste whlie composing the replies. This is pretty standard functionality on public message boards.

    It's amazing how many newbies to the forum come on and complain about the way it works before even getting any proper knowledge of it. Did you really think that something as basic as those things would not have been considered before?

  • Unanswered Questions a request and a suggestion

    I, like others, have an inaccessible unanswered question. It has been deleted but still shows up as unanswered and there is no way for me to mark it as answered. I would appreciate it if the mods would mark it answered.
    I would like to suggest that when a question is deleted it should always disappear from the asker's unanswered list.

    Hi Hardy,
    You should have no unresolved questions now.
    We try to mark it as answered when we lock or remove but some slip by. I have been going back to some older ones and marking them when I can.
    Regards,
    Kady

  • Easier way to find unanswered questions?

    How about some features to make it easier to find unanswered questions in a forum?
    Like a button that says "show only unanswered questions"?
    Another option like "show unanswered questions with 0 replies"

    Some, but not enough.
    Sometimes a question is answered but the post-er never marks it as such. That's why I'd like a filter called "Open Questions with 0 replies"
    That's why I asked if it satisfied the first part of your request. I was aware it didn't satisfy the other details you mentioned.
    You aren't the first to ask for more sophisticated filters. I have as well. I think we'll probably eventually see some of these things. The Hosts are aware of all of these requests and continue to add them to the big list of features people would like to see. Of course, for some time now they have had to concentrate on forum stability before even beginning to add more features. But I they've said in the past that they have hopes to work on these details once everything else is under control.

  • How to identify unanswered questions?

    Hi all,
    I always try to mark a question that I pose as answered when it is. I was looking at my profile and noticed the following:
    Total Questions: xx (5 unresolved)
    Given that I thought I had marked all questions as answered, how can I find out which ones are unanswered so I can mark them answered?
    Also, it might be nice to have that be a link to a page that shows links to the unanswered questions.
    Thanks,
    JustMe

    If you click on the "Your Control Panel" link on top-tight, then click "Your Questions" on the top-right on the resulting page, you should see your questions divided into two sections - unresolved and resolved.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • How to see my unanswered questions? Some forums missing?

    I miss the old format... Maybe I'm old and stubborn, but this new Apple forums format isn't growing on me - I'm finding it difficult to navigate. Is it possible to customize my view so that I see all of my unanswered questions, and perhaps some select forums?  If not, what's the easiest way to find my open questions - I can't seem to find the link. Also, are all of the forums here or have some been removed/consolidated? Either I'm not searching correctly or they're gone - it seems like some are missing; the old list was much clearer than this scroll-down thing.

    TAAAAAA DAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

  • Cycle back to unanswered questions

    I am using Captivate 4. I have created a quiz consisting of a few random question slides that take questions out of the same pool of even more questions. I have allowed users to skip questions till the end of the quiz. When they reach the end, I would like the quiz to cycle back to the first unanswered question without the result slide appearing, of course. Then, again, at the end of the quiz, cycle back again until all question are answered, then we can see the results page. I tried using advanced actions and particularly the cpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions system variable which I added to a "On slide enter" function of a blank slide before the results page so it can check if all questions have been answered, then proceed to the next slide which is the results page, a thing that for some reason it doesn't do. On the other side, if not all questions have been answered how can I track the first unanswered question in the quiz so I can send the playback there? Someone should have come across this scenario, I hope.
    Also, I would like to ask of there is a way to customize the review questions proccess and instead of showing each question one at a time,  to list all questions at once with the correct answer and the answer the user chose.
    Thanks in advance.

    This is why I put the bank slides set at a half-second each between each question slide. You can set an advanced action upon entrance of these slides. So my advanced action looks at the variable for the next slide and checks to see if the value is > 0. If it is, it jumps to the following slide (which is another blank slide and that one executes another version of the same command. In terms of the Submit button, what I meant to say is that I set the same (separate) advanced action no matter if the user gets the question right or wrong. This one changes the value of the variable associated with the slide from 0 to 1 and then advances to the next slide.
    So in a 3-question quiz, it would look like this...
    Blank -> Slide 1 -> Blank -> Slide 2 ->
    Slide 2 as the second-to-last question would have it own advanced action upon exit that looks to see if either slide has a value  > 0. If both are > 0, it jumps to the final question. If either has a value of 0, it jumps to slide that tells the user he or she has unanswered questions and gives them the opportunity to go back.
    Once the user goes back, the blank slides SHOULD cycle past all completed slides (since they have a value > 0) and stop only on the uncompleted slides.
    I am still working out the final details. And once I get them working this way, I would like to see if I could do it with a more elegant plan, using fewer variables and actions. But the basics are working for me right now.

  • Branching quiz based on unanswered questions

    I'm using Captivate 5.5 to design an awareness module that contains 2 short knowledge checks at key points in the module (around 5-6 questions for each). The knowledge checks aren't compulsory and learners can move freely backwards and forwards through the module, and therefore can skip questions.
    We want to encourage them to answer all the questions (but not force them to if they don't want to). I've thought of branching the module at the end, with uncompleted questions branching to a reminder slide, and all questions completed going to a summary of the module.
    The way I've tried to do this is to use an Advanced Action with the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to trigger the branching. This works okay if the learner doesn't move backwards. Once they go backwards past a question they haven't answered yet it will be counted as unanswered a second time. This means that there is no way they can ever get the variable to 0 and then move to the summary slide.
    Is there any way to use the CpQuizInfoTotalUnansweredQuestions variable to get it counting the unanswered questions correctly?
    The other way I had thought of doing it was to add another variable that changes when the branching/reminder slide is visited the first time, and having the Advanced Action check the variable to see if the slide has been visited before and if it has then it forces the slide to be skipped. This would assume that the learner went back and found and answered all the questions they missed or decided not to answer them all.
    Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

    My latest blog post has a work flow, not totally the same because it is meant for Review status, but can easily be translated to make your last scenario possible.

  • How to mark my old questions as answered?!

    Hi,
    For some reason my old topics are not linked to my account:
    792341
    After forum was renewed I've got absolutely empty account (Alex.UA) without points and topics.
    Is there any way to link my old stuff so I could mark questions as answered and assign reward points?
    Thanks

    Typically, this behaviour happens when people update their email address used to access their account, and the process that deals with that behind the scenes mistakenly creates a second account for the new email, and somehow prevents access to the old account.
    You will need to contact the email address otnfeedback_us at oracle.com telling them what your problem is and providing the links to your two accounts.  They will then be able to put your new email address/login details against the old account again (though they cannot merge posts from this new account back to the old one).
