I  appreciate your feedback.  It  makes it more clear.  I don't know about other's questions but I think mine might have been more appropriate for the hep social community.  I am now wondering if i flipped back & forth with out being aware of the flip flopping.

I have always gotten alot of help from this forum.  Jenn

The other problem seems to be that there are so many questions that the questions end up at the bottom of the page or, even worse, on page 2 in no time at all.  Besides that, it seems that a lot of folks start 2 or 3 threads on the same topic, sometimes identical (maybe that is a timing delay of MH and if the thread doesn't post immediately the person posts again).  The solution to some of this is the marvelous "watch" feature of the new system.  I try to put a "watch" on the threads I post.  If I don't, I lose them in this new system.

There are a lot of Hep B questions too and there are not enough members comfortable enough on the topic to help.  So many of those B questions go unanswered.

And while I am add it, what's the reason for posting the same question on the regular (medical) forum and the community forum.  Doesn't everyone flip from one to the other?

Off my soapbox.  Have a good day, all

Percentage wise, I see very few questions unanswered -- both in absolute terms and compared to other similar discussion groups.

As KC suggests, many that are left unanswered are outside of our knowledge base which is mostly Hepatitis C.

Also, if someone feels their question hasn't been answered -- or sees what they consider to be an important question that was overlooked -- then they should simply bump the question up to the top before it gets lost. I've seen that done here a number of times.

The squeaky questionaire gets the grease, as they say :)

alot of the questions i see that do not get answered are questionns that do not have anything to do with hep-c or otherwise i see other people letting the person know that are in the wrong group.

i also see the questions asked that i can not answer because i do not relate..

as you can see you have many responses to your question as well,  and i feel confident many will respond in here.  as stated earlier some people pop in and out of here and some answer only certain questions and what i do is i try to check out the ones i can and answer the ones i can if not i find when they are responded to there is info there that answers the other persons question from another previous post.

godd question.   :O)
