I don't know about every unanswered
post, but for 0 Reply threads I use
Code:
http://xxx.com/forum/search.php?do=process&replyless=1&replylimit=0&dontcache=1
It's a quick search.

Unanswered threads are a turnoff to visitors. If you want people coming back, and RECOMMENDING your forum to others, at least SOME response, even to say "Sorry no one has replied, let's give it a day or two. I apologise in advance, but sometimes no one has an answer for your question. We do our best." I bump threads that get no response. Sometimes the thread is dead because no one does have an answer, but at least the person who asked (started the thread) doesn't feel 'abandoned', or worse, ignored.
Just my opinion.
