New forum function suggestion

[SeaGal]

Is it possible or, if not could the forum be enhanced, to be able to easily see all posts that have had zero responses to them?

I try to check to see if there are any newcomers, especially UK ones or Solis users who have posted a question, but not had a response. I'd find useful to be able to quickly scan all posts that have 0 replies.

Just a thought - apologies if this is already available and I've missed it.

Good idea, I was thinking about that the other day

On of the pages that have a list of posts, at the top of the list on the right is a filter drop down, choosing unanswered posts will only show posts with zero replies.

Brilliant - thanks a million

Oh gosh... there are a lot of unanswered threads!

That would be a great feature.

Actually I would like the default sort of the forum to be changed in some way so that we don’t have the effect where the most overly dramatic/spicy writers get an outsized level of engagement.

Is there a way to get the filter on mobile?

One way that would help a lot is to change the default preview for a section away from latest update. That very aggressively biases towards clickbait/controversy tinged threads with high engagement. They don’t need the extra traffic

Yes there is on mine, go to new posts, then filters

Ah it's only in a section, not at the front page.

I never knew that, thanks.
I've always went to the top left menu then unanswered posts. (you have to be in a sub-forum or thread for it to work.)

This is such a fun new way to browse the forum and avoid the "what's your favorite color" threads (no offense to them). See you guys in unanswered.

Does forum have a dark mode?

You won't cause once they're answered they're no longer unanswered
