Hi there,

I use the “unanswered” button on my forum (), and it has stopped working. I noticed the glitch on November 18, which is when I switched the forum’s “home” view to “categories with featured topics”. “Latest” and “top” buttons still function as expected.

Advice on how to fix it?

Thanks,  
Jessica

The “unanswered” navigation button on your site which was pointing at latest page with `max_posts=1` parameter broke because of the “top menu” setting change. The custom JS (adding that button) needed to be amended as well.

I just fixed the JS code, “unanswered” navigation button should be working fine now.

At the risk of this being revived, the same thing happened again. Our “unanswered” nav button was working until recently, pointing to `/latest?max_posts=1` and now it shows the below

There was a bug here, but it is now fixed. Updating to the latest version should solve the problem:
