Do you think that the Mahalo Answers front page should cycle questions (including new questions, unanswered, and undecided)? See details?

We are working on a new homepage for mid June that will be more customized. Not only will it cycle through some unanswered questions, it will actually show you questions you are most qualified to answer. :-).

Yes because if they did do that , that would help people who havent joined or people who might want to join see what they will be answering or if those questions would be something that thaye are used to. It would also attract more people who are curious about sites like these.

I agree that there is a lot of digging. I think, for one, this will need to be considered in the future, as there are still a lot of stability issues I'm worried about. But there could be a space reserved for the type for a "random question," so that everyone is getting different random questions in that space.

I don't know about cycle, but I've always wondered why questions don't come back to the top when they get a response, like most forums. Perhaps they could come up with something creative, like giving bonus points to questions that have been up for a while, like 2 extra after 2 days, 3 extra after 3 days, and 4 extra after four days to incentivize answering them, and having a link to them, like "Lonely Questions" complete with a frowny face. Aw.

=\ I think this would be more contstructive than Hoard having to keep posting a "help answer these unanswered questions. " I think they could also adopt an optional view that shows you questions aligned with your "expertise" categories, since this info is sitting in a DB somewhere.

I like the idea of hiding questions, I think it should be optional though, sometimes I like to revisit often questions I've answered, and if they were hidden off the front page after I answer them it might be less helpful.

I think that would be a GREAT improvement. I have been to some other Q&A sites, and they have had that. I know from experience that it would make it a WAY better site.

Yes It takes to time to move through questions that your ignoring to find ones worth answering.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
