    Sure. but I was addressing Jey's thread; as written, the OP refers to "help" and "answer", which are both a tad bit different from "respond", "appreciate" and "bring presents"!:lol:

    Re: Haircuts - maybe you should first consult Macron and Trudeau! :wink1:

    OK. There's limited space in the title of widget. So Unrepsonded in place of Unanswered will make you respond?

    Word-check is cribbing for Unresponded above. A close call choosing between the two. Unanswered brings up help/answer request, Unresponded brings up evite type of thing.

    Possibly - why not? Phrasing to elicit desired reponses is a routine trick used by pollsters, for example.
    Yes, but I was referring to the Original Post. I'm a strict constructionist, original intent 'n all that. Next thing I know, you'll want to finesse the Second Amendment and take my guns away - not even from my cold dead hands, lady!:grinning-smiley-048::icon_writing::lol:

    I was thinking more like taking away the pen? Mightier than the gun and all that? Or, notwithstanding myself not being a guru, taking away an Ekalavya-esque right thumb? So no pressing <Enter> key?

    : ) : )

    @sokanasanah @Rihana The word "unanswered" doesn't quite address all the scenarios. But the basic idea is to get atleast a response to every new thread that is started in our community. For those fiction/snippet type threads, a single thoughtful feedback would be enough to make the OP feel well-received and get it out of that box.

    One of the reasons for not seeing the box (which I don't today) could be that there are none left 'unanswered' or 'unresponded' as the case may be :biggrin:. Which means (grammatically wrong start to a sentence and incomplete sentence follows) the purpose of this thread has been so far realized???

    Dude, what kind of keyboard (or thumb!) is it that you use your right thumb to press <Enter>?:confundio1:

    You don't see the "Unanswered Threads" widget? I am seeing it with a full box of 10 threads. It shows up only when you are logged in. I shared a screenshot a few messages above. Can you check and confirm you are not seeing it?
