That means an unanswered question would be a childless parent?

Orphans is a weird name for that tab. Surely answers without questions would be orphans?

I saw the orphans feature a couple of days ago and LOVE the idea. I agree with @Jeruba on waiting a bit, though. I’m thinking maybe a thirty-six hour wait until it appears there? Just an idea.

Even good things are bad if they are related to wis.dm.

@JP: All of those are asynchronous requests.

how about a feature whereby every time ivan mentions wis.dm, someone goes to his house and smacks him?

I like the “post questions to FB” feature. However, it doesn’t work for me.. I’ve tried twice and the questions never appear on FB. Just FYI.

Well, I’m sure the FB widget is very nice, but I’m keeping the peas separate from the mashed potatoes, though, you know what I mean?

The orphans one is interesting.

Orphans tab is awesomesauce, guys! Very smart move.

Just answered a 4-day old question with no answers.

The orphans feature should be interesting. How about a window of time, though, when a question is still fresh, before it is considered an orphan? I don’t think it makes sense for a new question to show up there right away. Maybe a 48-hour window? or a week?

Also, it would be fun to be able to see them listed oldest first just as an option.
