One of the features I like about LinuxQuestions.org forums is the section where you can view all threads with 0 replies (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/lqsearch.php?do=noreplies). This is really great to easily see which posts still have no answers/replies to them yet. If the forum already has this please let me know, otherwise I think it would be a great features to add.

I agree. This would be a great feature.

Not a forum but you can easily search for 0 replies in each forum from the thread tools menu.

Makes more sense to me - I would have no interest in looking through unanswered threads in some of the forums personally.

In the advanced search, you can search for threads without any replies

Find threads with > at most > 0 replies

Might I recommend caution with this practice (especially in the Help Sections).

Occasionally, a member might bump their thread, if it hasn't received a response for a period of time. Or a help response might not have resolved the OP's issue(s).

I generally, use (2) instead of (0) when using that search function in the Help Sections. It requires a little more sorting, but I've found it also increases the number of unanswered threads in the search return.

I think we used to have that feature here - to find unanswered posts. Was it removed for some reason? I think its quite a good way, especially at release time, to find peoples questions that may have gotten lost in the deluge.

It's still there -- see forestpiskie's post.
