I get outdated questions by default
-
I am told that I answer questions from years ago. I tried to understand why and there might be a bug here. I just press "View All Questions" and by default see a view similar to this one. The question on top is from 2010... Foe example: [Export data to csv file from database which contains unicode](https://www.codeproject.com/Questions/128998/Export-data-to-csv-file-from-database-which-contai) Screenshot: 2018-01-12__7_.png (549.9 KB)

What you're seeing is a lack of questions tagged Unicode. Remove "Unicode" from your filter and you'll see all the new stuff.

I removed this tag and used Win32api which is much more common. I got to a question from 2013. [color in console in c++](https://www.codeproject.com/Answers/1225522/color-in-console-in-cplusplus#answer2) I personally see no problem answering old questions. If a question is no longer valid (for example, a question about Windows XP), it should be deleted or mark is "inactive". Otherwise, answering an older question might serve other people who might search a solution for the same problem. In any case, I deleted my answer until we have a consensus.

Instead of using the "Interested" filter it is probably better to use the "Ignored" one, to exclude subjects you are not interested in. That way you have less chance of opening all these old questions.
Sure. I will next time. Thanks for the tip.
