Then.. automatically they're carried on to another 20 for the next day, and day after etc. If players sends out new requests the 2nd day.. these over-write the former requests sent out, but don't think they actually cancel them completely, they go back to the tail of the list.
What's important is requests are acknowledged as fast as possible.. not so important their date, as we have no control over that automatic system of delivering.. which must say has been working much better than former times!
Sending requests to nbrs in our timezone, or at least knowing it's not their off-play time.. we all have more possibilities of finishing faster. Another reason to know in which country your nbr lives. It's also an excellent idea that each player/forum poster fill in at least their time zone for others to know.. as can be an important part of the game when needed.
On the other hand it's also useless sending out too many requests.. as this only complicates your delivery procedure. I usually double the amount needed, which is more than enough answers that come in within an hour.
Adding.. it's not necessary they appear in your news-feed.. not all the time that feed is exact. Sometimes all names disappears and lots of confusion there. I guess it's because so many changes have been made in such a short time. What counts id the number we see on out goal.. or sometimes in our inventory.
