Hello and welcome to LQ. You were pointed here because a fellow LQ member feels the thread you started doesn't meet the minimum threshold that would enable us to help you. We understand that Linux can be intimidating for new members, and we really do want to help. That said, please understand that LQ is not a help desk, customer service line for a product you purchased or willing to do your homework (although we are happy to assist you with specifics, if you show some effort of your own!). We're a 100% volunteer organization that wants to help you help yourself.
Here are a couple tips that will enable us to help you moving forward:
When asking a question, be sure to provide as many relevant details as possible. You should include the distribution and version you're using, along with hardware details, application version and exact error messages where applicable.
Using a descriptive title will vastly increase the number of members who see your thread, and therefore make a response significantly more likely.
If you're actively troubleshooting an issue you should also include any steps you've already taken.
You may want to include how what you are experiencing differs from what you expected to experience.
Before posting, have you used the search function to ensure your question hasn't been asked before?
You can edit your post by clicking the EDIT button in the bottom right corner of your message.
If you are unwilling or unable to ask questions in a manner that allows us to help you, it's unlikely our community will be able to provide you a solution. Unfortunately, serial offenders who show wanton disregard for this request after multiple pointers may be asked to seek help elsewhere. We truly hope that isn't necessary, and assure you Linux and Open Source are extremely rewarding and well worth the learning curve in the long run.
rtmistler what is zero reply email is it sent to you like a newsletter ?
Instead of guessing what newsletter is sent daily, or what format it is it presented in, perhaps this can help.
For a title or even a response to the already asked couple of questions, I'd suggest a meaningful reply
like "I haven't been getting the Zero Reply Newsletter on a daily basis."
I have not been getting this where do I Sub to this

Hi...
I'm still not entirely sure what you mean.
To my knowledge, you have to subscribe to the individual threads you want notifications for, not the entire page of zero reply threads. Can you show us what you are referring to?
Also, does LQ have your correct email address to send notices to?
Distribution: Cinnamon Mint 20.1 (Laptop) and 20.2 (Desktop)

Rep:
Would this possibly be the Community Bulletin? It contains info on zero reply threads and other stuff but it's not a daily thing, monthly I reckon. I've no idea how you subscribe though, it just turns up!
How do you subscribe Community Bulletin and zero reply threads ?
As a member of LQ you should get occasional email from LQ. That is to say when Jeremy chooses to post a bulletin. I actually do not believe that it is periodic.
As said before, I do not believe you can subscribe to anything to know about zero reply threads.
Note that using the LQ web interface there is a Quick Links menu which gives you "Zero Reply Threads" as well as "New Posts".
Both of those options I find to be very helpful.
Remember that there are always new threads, and hence those are zero reply threads. Each of them ceases to be "zero reply" once someone has replied to them. But that doesn't mean they're unworthy of your review. Hence why I also check "New Posts" and just browse the list of those.
