I was looking for newest unanswered questions, so I clicked the 'Unanswered' button and then, the 'newest' tag just below.  Why did I get answered questions in the displayed list ? Isn't it supposed to filter the questions by unanswered and sort the list from newest to oldest unanswered questions ?  EDIT : I don't want it filtered by a specific tag like C++ for example nor sort by upvotes like the 'no answer' tag. Just unanswered and sort by newest.

Why does the "Unanswered Questions" tab show questions that have answers?

If a question has more than one page of answers then a new answer is not likely to get much attention.  I think the stackoverflow engine should give some more weight to newer answers to old questions but I'm not sure how.  Maybe a tweaked UI to get access to newer answers.  NB. In the related questions this  popped up, I hadnt realised either that these tools existed.

There are lots of questions tagged  that don't have a  response.  How do we interpret this? Is it because they are declined by default? We just have to wait for a response (the team is very busy)? Is Jeff the only one that reviews this questions?  I suppose the ones that have negative votes may (or may not) be declined by default, but there are quite a few with some to a lot upvotes that should have an official answer.

It is (currently)   to tag answers. Yet, if I query , then  does have a tag, namely javascript. I'm at a loss: how did that happen?&dagger;  SELECT Id, Tag FROM Posts, PostsTags  WHERE Posts.PostTypeId = 2 AND Posts.Id = PostsTags.PostId   Edit: The are also five answers (, , ,  and ) with a view count of 1 instead of 0:  SELECT Id, ViewCount FROM Posts WHERE PostTypeId = 2 AND ViewCount &lt;&gt; 0   These results also hold through at least January 10.    &nbsp; &dagger;: PostTypeId = 2 means that the post is an answer, not a question (PostTypeId = 1).

I went to my user page this weekend and was surpised to see this:    I only have 11 questions favorited, so I thought that 34 seemed a bit high.  Then I realized that I actually have no idea what that number means.  I found an awesome answer by  to this question:    But, his observations ("The number next to the tab indicates how many posts have new answers since you last visited the tab") do not match up with what I'm seeing:     I don't have 34 questions favorited, so I don't think it's a count of questions with new answers It doesn't seem to be a tally of all the new answers on my favorited questions either (because there are only 32 answers total to those 11 questions).   Could we get a clear definition of what this number means?  This is obviously not a high-priority request, I'm just curious =)  I have left  the same for now, in case that is helpful to anyone doing detective work on this feature =)

Currently questions are added in a rapid pace to SO, so that new questions disappear very quickly from the homepage. It I want to see questions from my areas of interest I can do either:   Go to the tagged/my tags page, but then I will see the questions only according to the votes Supply a list of tags "x or y or z", but it seems the list is limited to 15 or 20 tags.   What I suggest is to have categories as grouping of tags - the .net category , java category , web development category , etc. It can also help new users to locate questions from their area of expertise they can answer. We can decide that a category can contain between 5 and 20  tags in order no to have too narrow or too broad categories (numbers were given just for the sake of argument)

Is there a way to get notified if a new question is posted in one of my Favorite tag other than me clicking on the tag or browsing through new questions all the times?  I have a favorite tag (Bloomberg) with low monthly number of questions in it (around 30-40).  And since I can be of great help in that area to other people, I would like to see if there a notification system in place (such as email).

I noticed  was on the Programmers.SE for a day or so without any answers.  So, I answered it.  Not long after that, it was migrated to SO.  I was surprised to find that it was not located on the first several pages after being migrated.  It seems that it's .  A large reason for putting new questions at the top of the list is so that enthusiastic answerers can jump at the ones that interest them right out of the gate.  However, a question that's migrated is nearly hidden from these most eager answerers, because the question jumps immediately to a sad page that is normally full of questions that people have either answered or deliberately passed over.  Should newly-migrated questions get a chance at being displayed prominently along with their newly-posted counterparts?  EDIT: To be clear, I am not asking what the current behavior is (which has already been asked and answered in another question). I am asking if the current behavior best serves the SO community.

How do you see how many views a question has had when you're not in the newest category?  I've tried a word-for-word search for the question, but still can't see the view counter.

Ding!  Hello, new feature!  I just noticed a new "Frequently Asked" section on the main page.  I'm guessing it's a test of a new feature, like the recent .  Seems cool so far.  But what is it populated with?  Common dupes?  Topics the viewing user asks about a lot?  Topics the viewing user searches for a lot?  For what it's worth, I'm getting a link to the  tag underneath it.

I see duplicate questions in the feed (Why is the book still wanted if Aida has memorized it?) and the question is marked as "unanswered" even though it has an upvoted answer.  I would expect unique questions in the feed, as well as questions with answers to not be marked as unanswered.   App Version: 1.6.3.4 Device: iPhone 6 OS Version: Version 10.2 (Build 14C92)

I want to delve into a new technology, and am not so interested in answering questions in my regular tags any more. So I deleted all my old favourite tags, and created a set of new ones. However, the &quot;interesting&quot; tab, as well as the other question views that I know of, still show mainly stuff from my old tags, and only an occasional question from the new one:  Why is this - could this be Kevin's  at work - which is super cool, but in my case now   Do I really have to actively &quot;ignore&quot; the old tags that I don't want to see? That might conflict with my new area of interest, though, as there may be some overlap between old and new tags and I would want to see them even though they contain an ignored tag.  Edit: ignoring my major old tags (which is not ideal at all) improves the results, but there is still plenty of stuff from esoteric tags that never were even on my &quot;interesting&quot; list - that I probably just happened to view, or be active in, a couple of times:  I can't possibly begin to ignore all the tags that show up here. It appears that my previous question activity is stronger than my expressed preferences - even for stuff I've never heard about, perhaps because of sheer quantity. Can this please be tweaked?

On the  page, the number of questions using the tag is shown for each tag, except those which are used on 0 or 1 questions.  This makes it impossible to tell which bad new tags have already been removed from their questions without duplicating someone else's effort of clicking on the tag and observing that it's unused.  I'd like to see the question count for either the 0s or 1s (or possibly both) to save time when looking through new tags.

I have noticed that now the answers to questions are not sorted by votes anymore. Is this a new feature?  For example,  (though you may need to refresh... random, you know..)  I assume it is related to some meta question, but I didn't find such.

I'd like to see a list of questions that I've recently viewed. This might go on the user page (but only for the user - not for all to see).   This would be different from favorites, as it would only be recently viewed. This would not be redundant with browser history, as it would persist across computers (so I can see at home what I was looking at from work). This would not be redundant with recent activity, since I may not have had any activity on a question I recently viewed.   Any takers?  Perhaps show recently viewed questions where the Related links currently are, and slide everything else down?

What should you do if a question has already been asked and answered, but both the question and the answer are now out of date? (in this case due to updates to jQuery).  Is it okay to make a new question if you need an up to date answer?  If you know an up to date answer is it okay to make a new question and answer it? Or should you answer the out of date question?  If you answer the out of date question, won't your answer just be buried and unnoticed because of the already upvoted/selected answers?  EDIT:  The problem is, sometimes a question and its answers will be so hopelessly full of out of date stuff, that it seems crazy to try and put up to date answers on the page. The page is pretty much worthless once the information is out of date, so would it not be better to start a new page?

This one is more of a netiquette question.  Sometimes I stumble on "unanswered" questions that were actually answered - in their comments. Those questions are shown as unanswered in the statistics.  For example: .  What should be done?   Flag the question so one moderator can somehow mark it as answered. Answer the question yourself (as a community wiki answer), mostly by copying the comments. Nothing. Move along.   EDIT  I'm talking about questions without activity for weeks or months.  Feature request  Give diamond-mods the ability to change a comment to an answer; and allow users to flag for this action.
