Is there a simple way to search the forum for all threads with zero replies?
That way I can create a link to "Topics that Need Attention"

Thanks in advance.

Perhaps, you could elucidate? Why would you want to create a link to topics that need attention? ...and are you referring to this forum or all SMF forums?

I had to go define the word "elucidate".
to make lucid especially by explanation or analysis

Now that I know what you're saying, there's not much else to explain.  I mean I'm looking for whatever string search I need in the url bar to search my forum for all threads with zero replies.  That way my users can click it and give some attention to topics that were ignored.

Like:
http://www.myforum.com/index.php?action=search [nofollow];topics=0

I don't know, I kind of made up that last part there.  Whatever it needs to say to return all threads with zero replies.

Unfortunately, I'm not aware of any method to accomplish that :(
Perhaps, a mod / feature request?

Perhaps.  Thanks for your response though.
I was a little surprised to not find that built-in already.  Seems forum
administrators would want for their members to find topics that
need some responses fairly easily... guess I was mistaken.
