"View unread posts" / "View posts with no replies" - Cylow - Mar 7, 2017

This could be changed to "View posts with no replies" which is basically to promote un-answered threads, leaving very little threads without replies. This would of course exclude threads in the testimonials sub forum.

Just an idea I got, what do y'all think?

This is pretty dumb. I only use the view new posts so I'd never be able to see threads that are on fire.

I'm not saying replace it but add it as an extra feature.

I wouldn't use a button dedicated for this. If you frequent the forums enough this isn't even needed.

Unsure why such a feature is needed. "View New Posts" displays all and new threads regardless if they're unanswered or not. If users aren't taking it upon themselves to respond to threads, it's probably low quality or not of interest. Anyhow, pretty sure "View New Posts" suffices.

Probably a reason for the thread being unanswered. I wouldn't use this.

Just because someone has replied to a thread not necessarily means it's answered.
Anyway, a forum encourages discussion. That is multiple posts, this wouldn't help to increase discussions in anyway.
