As rjohara suggests over here (post 3), it would be useful to have a way to find threads that never got past their first message.

This would also find the posts not attached to any group (if they still happen) - these can't be replied to, but their author could get contacted via comments on the profile.

As per sunny suggestion in the 3small improvements topic - here's a list of more plaintive posts from new users:
(My suggestion for possibly fixing was ensuring every new account automatically joined a group like FAQ when their account was created).

http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=11921 , this person joined and posted May 1st.
this one: new user here on Apr 27th http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=11686 ,
This person on April 26th: http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=11518 ,

Or just while I was writing this post: http://www.librarything.com/talktopic.php?topic=11964 ,

There's a few new users out there trying to post for the first time and not having a fun or userfriendly experience.

The loose posts bug should be fixed now.

Excellent! I'm glad it's solved.
