hey b, not sure if this is possible, but it would be cool if there was a tab for "new posts in threads i have posted in".

it would be a cool way to go directly to stuff we have already commented on.
 
there already is that option.

its called subscribe.

mine is set to automatically subscribe me to a thread when i post in it. and then just go to the subscriptions page and presto: threads with new posts, that you have already posted in.
 
i should have mentioned this in my post, i knew someone would address the subscribe function.

basically, i don't want to subscribe to every thread i have posted in.
 
ok. so, let me get this straight.

you want a way to be able to go straight to the threads with new posts that you have previously posted in, but dont want to subscribe to them?

why not just unsubscribe to the ones you dont want showing up?

seems like you want 2 of the same kind of page, one that allows you to be subscribed to every thread you posted in, and one that allows you to pick and choose which to have show up?

correct.

and why not unsubscribe? well, because if there was a tab similar to "new posts", but only for threads i have posted in, i wouldn't have to subscribe to 50 threads a day, then clean out the threads i'm subscribed to when they no longer have people posting in them.
 
i just stay subscribed to them. if nobody is posting, then theres nothing to bother you.

and if somebody bumps it from the dead later on, you have something to confuse you. lol

That's how I deal with the "I know there was something I posted in and was looking forward to seeing blues"
 
That's not efficient, plus you can't get to the most updated page/post without scrolling through. Plus it doesn't show which ones have been updated.
 
Click on new posts -- notice the icons. there's a different one if you have a post in that thread or not.

hover of it, and it will tell you how many posts you have in said thread.

without the arrow means you haven't posted in it.
 
I look at it more like, "this kid posted tech and needed help, I replied, but did he check it and update?"

I hate looking at threads and the op is gone or hasn't updated. Plus it would just be a cool filter.

Every form has different icons. Ive never been able to interpret them.

these are the default vb icons, and there's a legend at the bottom of the damn page. lol
