Continuing the discussion from [Is there a better way to handle the “Up!”/“Bump!” usecase?](https://meta.discourse.org/t/is-there-a-better-way-to-handle-the-up-bump-usecase/2780):
One thing I do like about vB is that it’s easy to view a list of unanswered threads. Is there a way to do it in Discourse?
It’s an important feature, as topics can quickly fall off the grid if there’s a lot of activity going on. It’s discouraging to post a question and get no reply, so I often check the unanswered threads tab on vB to check if there’s anything I could answer that has dropped down the list.
This might help alleviate the need for annoying topic bumps.

Can you define “unanswered” ?
this works, but a better UI is pending: [Discourse Meta](https://meta.discourse.org/?max_posts=1) (press reload) @eviltrout can you fix it so we don’t need to reload for that link to work?

Yes, just threads that haven’t received any reply—which is what that post query does. Thanks for that. 🙂

Should it work on the `Categories` page?

I’ve added support for the query param. Also, I’ve made it easier for the client app to add them. Just put them in this file at the top and it’ll all be wired up in the future:

이 글이 “Discourse list unanswered topics” 검색에서 구글 상위 결과로 뜨고, 토론 내용이 일부 사용자에게는 너무 기술적일 수 있으므로, 핵심은 다음과 같습니다:
아래와 같은 URL(자주 사용하신다면 브라우저에 북마크로 저장할 수 있습니다)을 사용하면 답변이 없는 주제 목록을 깔끔하게 확인할 수 있습니다.
`https://discourse.example.com/latest?max_posts=1`
제 경우에는 이 항목이 상단에서 **읽지 않은** (Unread) 및 **인기** (Top) 링크 바로 옆에 위치하면 완벽할 것 같습니다. 적어도 관리자(Moderator)들에게는 매우 일반적인 사용 사례라고 생각합니다.
