When I look for unanswered posts, I couldn't care less about stuff in OTW (and usually Gentoo Chat, for that matter). Is there a way to exclude these forums from that sort of search?

this is what i do

https://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?search_id=unanswered&search_keywords=help

it doesn't filter out otw but it does decrease the amount.

i too am looking for a way to do something like

https://forums.gentoo.org/search.php?search_id=unanswered&search_forum=14

but that doesn't work, it should show unanswered in only 'Installing Gentoo' but thats not the way phpbb works.

Being able to do this for "Posts since your last visit" would be a huge time-saver as well. (Or can you do this already?)

Sounds like a good idea. Maybe we can implement something like this in the future. We'll keep you informed.

Yea, very good idea. Maybe, put a link on each forum page for unanswered posts?

Eh? I use the feature already, but wanted to know about filtering them by forum. (I hardly ever bother going past the first page of results because they come too fast to keep track of.)
