Regarding Forums Answers..
Its seems that most of the forums posts are not accepted as answers by users or they are not interested or not coming back for accepting, i think so.
Can we make a provision of auto approval (by C#C admins) or suggest as answer (like msdn forums).
This will helpful for new members to find solutions easily. Also, helpful for those members who provided correct answers with points.
Because everyone putting there good time and effort for helping the C#C site.
Truly speaking most of my juniors and friends like this site very much.

Also, I think we're going to open forums for more moderators. Moderators will help monitor and educate members. It is too difficult for one or two admins to monitor the forums.

Hi,
I agree with the first point (not require the volunteers) said by Sam. But there is some problems in finding a forum post and its status on this site, in that case what will we do.. for example about below forum link:
http://www.c-sharpcorner.com/Forums/UploadFile/95085 --> Accepted Answer (of Manikavelu)
After opening above link only, I came to know that the forum answer got accepted. The icon next to forum still showing a tick mark on my login (profile id page), this says or shows me the forum answer is still not accepted or my answer is not accepted (i think so :-)). I dont know, how the existing users will able to know the status of forum (show a tick or Accepted image icon??).
Also, I was trying to search this post but in vain, even i used advanced serach option (Search Forum For, etc), nothing (Am doing something wrong??). So, how to search an old forum. How to find Answerd Forums?

I think one of the most important improvements is for the site to not require the volunteers to beg the person asking for help to approve something. The web site should do more to emphasize the importance of marking a reply as an answer.
When a question is initially submitted, the member ccould (this is a suggesstion) get a list of previous questions that have not been marked as being answered. The forum software could for each question suggest that they mark a reply that helped.
A member's statistics could show the number of questions submitted by them and the number that have replies that are marked as answered. This could help volunteers to decide whether to help and that would emphasize for the member that wants help that it is important to mark answers. If a member asks a lot of questions but dos not mark any as answers, then the assumption should be that they are not getting answers and are therefore wasting the time of volunteers.

Answers should be approved by admins of c-sharpcorner.
I also thinks that users are not interested or not coming back for accepting.
I think it is happened because whenever new post comes, the mail is sent to the user with new post content.
I suggest There should be only a link with related post.
So user must visit the site, and might accepts the answer.

In my perspective, I see questions that are answered quickly are marked to be an accepted one. Lately answered questions are not at all viewed by the users, since they could have already found the answers.
Let's see others response
