In summary, the Unanswered Threads link is located in the Forums navigation drop down, right below New Posts. The list by default shows the last 5 days worth. There is a link at the top right to push it to 7 days. There is a button to "auto-bump" posts to increase the number of responses. The first person to respond to a thread gets a trophy.

I just joined the forums and I can say without a doubt, my favorite part about the forums is looking at the unanswered thread and trying to flex my knowledge! I think I am a level two first responder? But honestly, I just like trying to help people out!

I fear I have to be the bearer of bad news (if I'm the first one, otherwise ignore this), the courtesy bump sometimes (not often as far as I can tell) marks a topic answered.
But it drops down the list once again.
Reason I mention this is that when I checked a recent topic of mine which got such a bump, I found another topic in the similar discussions box which suffered this faith.
https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/spectrum-of-the-reduced-matrixs-eigenvalues.778158/
I'm not sure how to think about this. It's sad some threads don't get solved, but that's just how it is.
Maybe there can be a new category, threads that have been bumped (with a possible expiration date) so people can see a list if they are interested in such a feature.
This however strongly depends on the "bumping technology" i.e. whether this is at all possible.

Edit; Down to 38 threads by the way

This is true. It's just an attempt to give it one last bit of visability.

True as well. We just want to give every thread a reasonable chance of being seen and replied to.

Down to 30, but there are some very specialized questions that are hard to answer.

Nah. It's like brushing your teeth. You'll just have to do it again tomorrow anyway.Greg Bernhardt said:

Yeah, but I wouldn't if I didn't have to. The consequence of rotten teeth are even worse than having unanswered threadsGreg Bernhardt said:and... don't you...?
