Topics with No Replies.

[purelithium]

I have an idea for a feature.

Another site I frequented a while back(linuxquestions.org) had a feature for those people who liked to help all the time so they could click on a Link or button in a forum, and it would output a list of threads in that forum that had No replies. This helped people that weren't getting the help they needed, also gave the helpers something to do, other than sift through all the pages looking for the few threads that hadn't been helped.

I love helping people answer the questions that I can, but it can be tedious to look for those threads that need the help. Is there any way that the forum could have this feature added?

Thanks!

It's there already, but maybe not in the way the other forum has..

Go to any forum, third column from the right, is the "replies" column.. click the word replies, now it's showing from most to least,. click the little arrow next to replies, and will swap them, starting with the zeros. :)

Oh and at the very bottom left hand side you can tell it how far back (date) to search.

I have been hanging around here for about 3 yrs and I didn't know that. Good to know.

haha Good one CDS... Didn't even think that I could sort threads differently...

With all that knowledge, his head must've been much larger-than-normal at birth.

I'm sure that was hell for his mom during delivery.Hmmmmm. You might have a point.

Rumor has it.

Yes, that whole found under a rock thing was strictly a nasty rumor started by some disgruntled Noink user.

You can also open advanced search. Select multiple forums if you like. Then in search options change "Find threads with" from "At least" to "At most" and hit search then you find all the threads in the selected forums with 0 responses.

Well, I suppose I'm living up to my title :lol:

PERFECT! It all makes sense now! ;)

I am all for anything that gets people to look and reply to photos, if they get to page two, they are ancient history it seems

[bieber]

Yeah, the biggest problem with a forum this big is that if a thread doesn't get replied to soon, it can just get lost on the second page. A bump button might be nice?

Forum rule 3.2 Message bumping is prohibited.

LOL, that may be asking too much, its all about the front page :eek:

[tommykjensen]

Or maybe we should convince Pekka to set the page size to 100 posts per page :lol:

it would only help for a bit, then only the first 100 would get commented on :eek:

I always try to surf at least 3-4 pages in, but it does get cumbersome sometimes.

[jklewer]

I can't seem to keep up with the latest post from each board that shows up on the home page! I just keep clicking on the POTN logo on the top left, and there is always something new to read. I guess doing it that way means that I have at least some time to spend working while Im at work!
