Forum functionality

[admin_exported]

It'd be great to be able to see all your posts on one page even though they may be in different categories to see if someone responded after you. For ex, DPReview forums have a page of all your recent posts with a time stamp of the last post. Otherwise I find myself going through different categories and threads to see if someone responded to me or if there is any development since I last read it.

If there is a way to do this and I just don't know it - please enlighten!

Well, you can click your name and get a list of your most recent posts, but at the moment that's about it. At the moment we're kinda stuck with this forum software, but we hope there'll be an upgrade of functionality and facilities at some point, even though at the moment it looks as though it will be later rather than sooner.

Personally speaking I just use the "See all latest posts" link and just keep an eye on all the topics I'm interested it, it's reasonably easy to determine when a topic of interest has received new posts.

I'd echo that. Also, most other forums have a tool that allows an email to be sent if there's a new post made to a thread that you've contributed to - perhaps one for the wishlist of future upgrades?

Way ahead of you on that one. Have already put it on the list, but current system bombards you with emails, which is why it's turned off at the moment.

No doubt the list will be on my desk Monday morning........

It's been up there so long it's probably turned to dust by now...

Thanks for replies. I guess we have to live with the current software - but I kindly ask you to speed up the implementation of new software with additional functionality

List John? It's a tome the size of a phonebook, and growing by the day. See you Monday.

Tome on his desk? It is his desk

I won't see you on Monday as the stork left something behind this week.

Cool, did think he might have by now. Best of luck with that, see you (in body if not sleep-deprived spirit) soon.
