Need a better way of finding unanswered questions

+7
−0

As of right now, the only real way to see that a question has no answers is to go off the answer count, which is small and not real easy to see.

On Outdoors where I am not interested in writing answers to the imported questions because I already either answered them or decided not to, this is especially important.

There are a couple of things that could improve this in my opinion

  • Increase the size of the answer count.
  • Have an Unanswered tab.
  • Different background color for unanswered questions.

Right now its kind or hard to find questions to answer.

Update: This has been completed and looks like this:

I'd suggest the following solution:

  • If a question has answers (answered), we apply the classes h-bg-green-700 h-p-h-1 h-c-white to .answer-count (causes a green box):
  • If it is unanswered, we apply the classes h-c-red-800 (causes a red font color).

It looks like this:

We can also reverse this:

  • If a question has answers (answered), we apply the classes h-c-green-700 to .answer-count (causes a green font color):
  • If it is unanswered, we apply the classes h-bg-red-800 h-p-h-1 h-c-white (causes a red box).

I would prefer the second option

I think the second, too. People coming from SE might interpret a green box as "has accepted answer, no need for me to go there to help", which actually we don't know anything about that answer (and we don't have "acceptance" here).
