'I posted in this thread' marker

[ColinJ]

I find the little dot that indicates that I have contributed to a thread useful, but I would like to be able to turn it off for threads that I am no longer interested in. For example - I have made a couple of flying visits to the epic 'tea' thread but I don't follow it and don't want to be distracted by the marker saying that I posted there.

I suggest that the marker should work the way it does now unless we choose to set a 'do not mark this thread unless I post in it again' flag. So my first suggestion is to try and provide such a facility.

My second suggestion, which has just occurred to me when writing the above, is to add a facility to hide individual threads. (If so, you would have to also provide a means to list all hidden threads so that they could be selectively marked for display again.) This would be like the Block Forums facility, but at the individual thread level.

Colin it's a bit late in the day to make changes to this software in light of the migration to the new software this weekend ...

Cheers,

Well, I was kind of hoping for similar features in the new version but I forgot to check whether it already supports that kind of thing!

Okay, well in the new software there's no facility for blocking forums or threads - not at the moment anyway.

And the "Watch" and "Unwatch" threads feature is the best way to manage threads you once participated in but are no longer interested in visiting; set your user preferences to automatically watch every thread you create/reply to - and then "unwatch" the ones you've finished with.

Cheers,
Shaun

Don't worry Colin, if you ever mistakenly pop into the 'tea' thread again you will be thrown out by the bouncers (Speicher and Jo)

Well I wouldn't say it out loud

Funnily enough you got mentioned in there again the other day, your psychic ability to pop in just at the right wrong time must have failed you

Okay, now the transfer to CC III is complete ...

I've noticed that the small offset avatar which now marks the threads that we have contributed to isn't working consistently! For example - I have posted several times in the long-running Weight Watchers thread but am not seeing my mini-avatar attached to it.

 

[BrumJim]

Only appears to work on threads where you have contributed post BIG MOVE.

I was going to say that.

Well spotted! I just posted (post-move) in the Weight Watchers thread and the marker has now appeared. Oh well, I suppose I can live with that ...

As a backup you can also select Your Content from the user drop-down menu, or visit your profile page and click the Information tab and use either of the links there.

Is there any way of pulling up your content that shows the results as threads rather than posts, so that you can see if any of the threads have been added to?

Scratch that, it's the watch threads bit, I'd turned that off with all the other bumph, switched it back on now.
