Related questions module

When you're viewing a question, you may have noticed a "Related Questions" module on the lower right of the page. It's designed to offer suggestions for similar questions that may not be in the same category as the one you're currently viewing, and that you might not find otherwise.

Some of you pointed out that this module would occasionally suggest questions that were...suggestive, like links to adult questions from non-adult pages. As of last week that should be fixed, but if you see any other questionable suggestions, or want to comment on the usefulness of the module more generally, please let us know either here or via Contact Us. Thanks!

  • I think it can be pretty useful. Perhaps showing questions from different users whenever possible would be nice. Thanks for the heads up, Rich!

  • Thanks Rich! You are ALWAYS coming to our rescue. Ask Lex (who I TOTALLY trust now) to add me and message me when he has time.

  • Hi Rich,
    the only thing I noticed it, that sometimes Questions posted are
    united with "similar" Questions posted before. I also noticed that sometimes such union is "incorrect" because the Question posted was maybe related but different in character.

  • PS: I also find "uniting" a NEW question with a question that was asked 5 years ago, because it is vaguely related, sort of weird or discouraging.

  • I AM VERY VERY ANGRY

    What happened to my answer to http://www.answerbag.com/q_view/2329862

    And WHO took the decision to remove it ?

    It seem to me that any non-incoherent criticism of Christianity is increasingly being used as a 'valid' reason to censor the site and remove comments, answers and even whole questions.

    If I thought this was a deliberate policy decision from AB management I would be even more angry.

  • PS: the 'contact us' link have been removed from the bottom of every page. The closest I could find were a 'contact form' on the 'About Answerbag' page.

  • I'm not sure that I understand why this is happening or even if it should be...but on the home page there are questions appearing that will send you into AB4Adults. This one for example:

  • Are we supposed to have facebook crap at the bottom left of each answer now (to be the first of my friends to like this)?

    I really hope not. Not only is the addition irritating but it might be adding to my lag since each of those links have to be loaded.
