Sam changed the order from newest questions first to oldest questions first. I am a bit concerned for the following reasons:
Overall I prefer to give a good first time impression 90% of the time with 5% unaswered q's, vs. an increase in bad first impression with a few more older questions answered. Nevertheless, lets keep this as an experiment for a while to see how this works out.
more involved in helping out in the Support web. If you look at the
you can see that usually is the same few people who are answering questions.
Are they not looked at because they are stale or are they stale because they are not looked at.
Maybe they remain unanswered
they are at the bottom of the list and people don't even get the opportunity to review them.
I reversed the order so that the oldest, an possibly overlooked or forgotten questions appeared first because I wanted to avoid people, myself included, from cherry picking the new questions without looking at the older unanswered questions.
If the most recently updated topics are at the top then it's easy for the more tricky to answer questions to disappear "below the fold" and take even longer to get answered.
At the time of writing there are two NEW questions that haven't been answered by anyone near the middle
and there's one NEW one that's almost the oldest one there.
Once questions get to the bottom (where bottom = oldest update) it's even more likely that they will have to wait.
But if questions that have been replied to the least recently are at the top then they remain there for everyone to see. So they'll just get skipped over anyway, but at least people
to look at them every time. If they are going to get skipped over anyway then it makes no difference to those topics that
be skipped over, but if there is a topic that has been overlooked because of updates to a lot of other support topics, forcing it down the list, then if the oldest are at the top then it's more likely it will be seen.
Let's leave it like this for a bit and see what effect it has on how questions are answered.
Recently the topic name field got limited to 32 characters and that does not allow a proper descriptive question as topic name.
Look at the history of questions. Quite many are up round 40. I had a hell of a time making a good topic name the other day. We will end up with poor 2-3 word topic names like that do not tell what is underneath the question. Please leave at least 40 characters.
We should cater for a minimum screen size of 1024x768. I initially set the topic maxlength to 32 chars to account for that, now increased to 36. I think this is a good balance between concise topic lists (header rows do not wrapped around) and understandable topic names.
