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.
