Resolved Discussions

I just finished resolving my unresolved discussions! Some were from four weeks ago! Others were from two weeks ago, etc. I don't mean to wait so long to rate my discussions or give a best response, but sometimes life just gets in the way and I don't get a chance to go back and do that. Today is the first day I've been here for three days due to having to work so I thought after I waded through three days of emails, I would come over here and check out the discussions. So out of curiosity, I clicked on "unresolved" and found I had four topics where I didn't rate or give out a best response.
Are any of you like me and wait to rate your discussions or do you do it right away?

It depends on the discussion. If I don't get but one or two responses, I will resolve it within a week. Most of them I will let sit for a couple of weeks, mainly because I forget they are there. But, I do go in at the end of the month to make sure that I don't have any unresolved discussions before starting a new month.
Some times I leave them there for awhile because I really don't know how to choose a best response in a particular discussion.

I post a lot so I tend to have a lot of unresolved discussions too. I tend to go through once a week or so and go through and pick a best response for all but the more recent discussions I've started.

i usually prefer to wait... i don't give best response straight away or too fast as it won't be fair to the other members who answer later in my discussions... once i choose my best response, i can't change it anymore... and if there is a better answer after that from the other member, i will feel really bad... that's why i prefer to wait and not to rush... take care and have a nice day...

Good for you! I have unresolved discussions that are months old already. But I don't want to award a best response to the only response. it doesn't seem fair that way. I only give best response awards when there are at least 5 responses, unless of course one response is really very useful and informative. :)

Well, for me, I have pages of unresolved discussions. Some of them are discussions I have started since September, but many of them are Older than that as well. The main problem is time. I just never seem to have the time to keep up with all of them, and then when I do, there are times I can never find a discussion I am Happy enough with, or torn between a few as well. I have been thinking since it is the end of the month, maybe I should take time to resolve a couple more of mine as well.

Hahaha! Thanks for the reminder. I usually do mine every two weeks so I do not get a large buildup of unresolved discussions. I don't think I've done it this month at all. Guess I'll be busy tonight late.
HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

Good for you that you were able to get back to them in as little as that time. I had unresolved ones as old as two months and I have just cleaned them up. I usually rate immediately after reading their response but giving out Best Response usually takes longer.

Hi there Wyldrose
I have got loads of unresolved discussions like at least 3 pages!! I just don't seem to get around to dealing with them. I like to wait until I feel my discussion has finished before I give someone my best response but I rate people for their response as I go!

I usually try to mark the best responses on every Friday. But I am thinking now that, that is Too soon. I might start doing it like every other week,, or less.
This gives more folks time to get a good response in! And I think that some folks do not respond if the the best response has already been giving out.
I really want to get a lot of responses, so I think that waiting is the way to go!

I rate when i feel there is enough people who had made responses and some have made a good answer from the topic i posted. It never come to the point where i forgot to rate but i do wait that i received more responses before i rate and give out best response.

I usually wait a bit due to various reasons. The main one being that I don't always get the best responses right in the beginning. There are also times when I am too busy and can't choose the best response. It might sometimes be more than a month or so when I give out the best response.
Some of my old responses were resolved just a few months back because I didn't have many good responses that I thought were worthy of a BR. So, I waited till someone responded and the discussions came up again...and many others responded.
Right now, I have quite a few unresolved discussions. I will select BR when I have the time to go through all of them (some again) to decide which is the best.
But I try to keep up with the comments bit even when I don't resolve the discussion.
