Maybe this feature is already here and I am a complete moron but...

On my Android phone I utilize Tapatalk to connect to CD. They have a nice option where you hit participated and it acts like the New Posts button but only lists the threads you've participated in.

Is there something like this on the website? I'd prefer to use the website over the phone but usually have to default to the phone to even remember what threads I've participated in.



Is this even the correct place for this?

You can use the Advanced Search putting your username and choosing to show results as threads. Or, you can start subscribing automatically to every thread you reply in and you will be able to see them on My Settings page.

There is the icon in the far left column of the page. If you have not participated in a thread, it will be an open envelope with a letter sticking out. If you have participated in the thread and there are new posts, it will be the same icon but with an arrow underneath it to signify a reply. There is also an icon to show that you have participated but there are no new posts, a closed envelope with an arrow.

Does that help?

Actually yes. Thanks for the tip.

I ended up making a button in Chrome that goes to the search page, puts in my username and shows me the results.

Good enough for government work!

It's a pretty glaring omission for a forum actually. I've never been on one without it but it was easily remedied.

If you click on your name in a thread a drop down appears, 1 of the options find all posts by your user name. Is that what you are talking about? I think you can also do a search under My Settings.

How about an automatic lock for some posters when they start a new thread? Especially in P&OC and Guns and Hunting.
