I realise that the most recent posts with 0 replies are listed on the left on the ASK page, is there a way to get them up in the same format as if you hit the ANSWER button?

I'm aware that i'm probably missing something blindingly obvious.

(those 5 words with over 7 letters each put together like that hurts my brain)

ANSWER takes you to the most current questions listed in date/time order.

If you want the Zero response Q's in a similar order then you'll have to play around with Advanced search

Yes. It's the Unanswered Questions link at the bottom of every page.

The pane to the left on the homepage is just the last 10 of them.

The "Answer" link is all posts (including new questions and responses to questions regardless of their age) from the past 24 hours.

Fantastic Rick, that unanswered questions link was just waht i was looking for (I think I had found it before, but forgotten about it)

But I don't think they get useful calcium out of them...

I'm no expert so I may be wrong here

''I'm no expert so I may be wrong here'' If so, why did you track down a question only 19 minutes old in a forum that has several active, knowledgeable people? I don't think people come here for guess work from people knowing little more about the question than the OP. There are forums where it is mostly opinions, and one opinion is as good as another. Other forums there are factual answers from trained, experienced people.

I let most of the questions go unanswered in Plumbing, Electrical and Lighting, and Heating and Cooling. I have acquired above average knowledge of those areas one way or another and at one time was answering many questions there. However, we now have people that know much more than I do in those areas. I feel people will appreciate waiting for a reliable answer, and leave them unanswered. I would thank others to do the same in the Dog forum.

Apologies if you were offended. I googled for a good 10 minutes around sites to see whether puppies did eat their own teeth and found many references about them swallowing or eating their teeth.

Even though I didnt state so, I also used my own knowledge of whether an animal's digestive system would break down and absorb the calcium in a useful way.

It was an educated guess that I was sure was correct without going too deep, so the OP would be put to rest if they came back to the thread before anyone else had a chance to get to it. I was completely satisfied that you may come along later and completely debunk me, but I did the research and was satisfied with the answer I gave.

I meant no offense at all and i'm sorry if i caused some.

That's no problem. I too often look for answers when I see a question that interests me but I'm not knowledgable about.

There have been instances here of somebody Googling up answers they didn't know enough about dogs to realize were dangerous. I see no reason for anybody to do a search in an area where they know little about when there are good people active in the forum. Dogs may be a more critical area, because so many sites on dogs are put up by kooks with an agenda, and contradict well documented dog information.

There are questions nobody here knows much about, and in a case like that, I don't see it as a problem to do a search.
