Unanswered threads

Review threads nobody has answered or acted on.

On this page

Unanswered threads lists review comments with no reply and no later commit to their file, older than 24 hours. In Limn's words these threads are Untouched. Each card quotes the opening comment. Items are ordered by score.

#What you see

Each card names the pull request, the file and line, who wrote the comment and when, and the first part of the comment. The mark turns amber after 48 hours and red after 96.

Illustration: An Untouched thread, two days old.

#What you can do

  • Choose Open thread, or go to the item, to open the thread in the pull request. Reply or resolve it there. See Threads tab.

#Why it helps

A comment with no reply can block a merge, or hide a real problem. A reply, or a commit to the file, takes the thread off this tab; resolving it on GitHub does too. See What the thread states mean.
