There are two links/urls that I’m trying to find on this forum:
“my posts”, which lists all the threads that I posted in and
“new posts”, which lists all the new posts since I last checked for new posts.
I found them very useful in other forums and miss them here. I found a link for “my posts” under my profile, but the formatting was such that it was difficult for me to tell if there have been new posts in a given thread.
I think we also need an admin forum, where we can post questions like this.
I noticed the list of my posts but find it a bit awkward to use since it actually shows the complete posts when all I’m interested in is a list of threads that I posted in with the indication if that thread has received a new post. I use this to follow up on threads that I posted in. When I don’t have much time, looking at this list may is oftentimes all I do.
I’d like to second Kai’s request. On several forums (fora?) I frequent, there are links that display the titles of all the threads I’ve posted in, and also all the threads with new posts since my last visit. They are useful tools for skimming the topics I’m interested in.
I know it’s not the same thing, but I tend to just turn on email notification for any thread where I’ve posted. Then, I have a filter set up (in gmail) for messages from the forum, so I can just click on that “label” and see all the notifications I’ve received.
It achieves essentially the same result, though the list isn’t stored on the forum website. Since I keep gmail open in a tab at all times anyhow, that works pretty well for me. I can see why others might prefer it on the website instead.
