What does "unresolved" mean in the dicussions drop down box? That was my question. Now. I read a lot of discussions tonight, and one thing became very obvious. It appears that most people do not read what has already been posted before they respond. Isn't it in the guidelines that you should read the previous posts and try not to repeat? Just curious.

Hi lacieice, Welcome to mylot! About "unresolved", when you start a discussion and people responds to you, you can choose one as the best response. Unresolved ones are those which you haven't choose the best response. Please do that to provide feedback and also it perks people up! It doesn't matter to me that people do not read the previous posts, I do that too sometimes when the discussion is sooooo long, pages and pages of it and i don't have the patience to read everyone's. I would just scroll through and read a few. Yes, we should all try to follow the guidelines as far as possible, but sometimes we could have unknowingly violated a few. But no harm done, we just learn from mistakes. I'm quite new here too and I'm still learning new things along the way. I hope this answers your question and happy mylotting.

Thanks bluemoon...There are a lot of discussions I would like to respond to, but what I wanted to add has already been said, so I pass them by. I will take care of those unresolved discussions.

I know this has been answered already, but unresolved means that the best respne hasn't been chosen yet. In the guidelines we are to wait at least a week before we give it out. I will wait months, and then sometimes, I still don't get them resolved. It really is up to each individual whether they give the best response or not, as we don['t have to. It is just a boost in morale is all it is. when it comes reading responses, before posting, I don't always, as there are some discussions that have page after page of responses, and it takes way to long to read all of them. I am not worried about repeating what others have posted anyway, as I have my own ideas, and I don't copy others. Good luck to you and happy mylotting.

Hi there Lacie Ice! Unresolved means that those are the discussions that you started which you haven't chosen any best response yet. About that rule about reading first before posting a response, I believe that it's really important to do that may there be rules or not. I think that it says a lot about the person who posted.
