When I used phpBB, I found the "View Unanswered Posts" search very useful. It allowed me to build activity by finding threads that didn't have any replies so I could reply to them in hopes of seeing them become active. Seeing this feature in vBulletin would be nice.
I second that emotion! In fact, I saw a vB forum around the web somewhere a few months ago that has that option - obviously customized - on their Quick Links menu. I didn't think to grab the code for it, though. I get stupid like that sometimes.
I was certain I had seen that too cbiweb... just can't remember where!!
I also thought I saw a ?do=noreply too, but just tried this in a search and it didn't return anything...

Just Googled "view unanswered posts vbulletin" and found this at vbulletin.org.
Now that I think about it, that's where I saw the Unanswered Threads link.

Seeing this in vBulletin by default would be nice.

alas no hacking required.
Perfect! I really didn't want to apply any hacks, and now I don't have to.Thanks!
Cool, thanks.
How on earth do you do this without applying any hacks?
Could you at least explain how this is done.It kind of helps, you know
I found this over at vbulletin.org: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showt...answered+posts
It is a hack!
Carpe diem!
this would be a great feature to be added into the vB package.

Add the following code to wherever you want to have a link for viewing unanswered threads...
You can also link to all new posts within a specified time frame (last 24 hours, 1 week, etc.) Just add this code, and change the number in red to whatever time period you want:Code:<a href="search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0&dontcache=1">Unanswered Threads</a>
Code:<a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=getdaily&days=1">link text here</a>

Thanks for this thread!
I did this and put it in the quick links.
Code:<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0&dontcache=1">Unanswered Threads</a></td></tr>

I guess you are talking about the absence of a link and not about the absence of the functionality? This functionality is in the Advanced Search, but I assume you already knew that.Originally Posted by Shining Arcanine

See here for a current overview of [User Interface/Style issues] in vBulletin 4.0
Advanced Search does not return results of threads with zero replies only. It will find threads with at least that many - IOW, every thread with any amount of posts in them. Shining Arcanine was looking for a way to view only threads with zero posts in them.
Have you guys checked out the Advanced Search lately? You can actually search on 'at most' 0 replies..... which gives you exactly what you are searchin for, namely : all threads with 0 replies.
I myself needed this in the past, so others and myself made a suggestion for this at that time : http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...41&postcount=4
