A 'view your posts' section

DragonicWolf · #1 July 29th, 2010, 02:04 AM

In many forums there is a useful link which brings you to a page showing all the threads you have posted in. I am wondering if the werelist has such a function (because I cannot find it) or if it is possible for such a function to be put into it. Because sometimes I do not know if someone has replied to something I have said or simply because I am keeping a lookout on a thread of interest. Something like automatically subscribing to a thread just by posting in it.

Basically what you're thinking of is a "Show New Replies to Your Posts" page. The reason you cannot find it is because it's currently not implemented. I'm not sure if it is possible to implement something like that on vBulletin, but it's definitely something worth checking out.

I've often wanted to bring this up, as I'd also like to see something like this on Werelist.. The only reason I haven't brought it up yet was because I've either been too busy or forgetful; so I thank you for bringing it up!

Ah yes that's it, the new replies to post thing. It would be great if it could be implemented. If it can't, then vBulletin really needs some upgrading.

Double-click on your username to go to your profile page. There should be a box in the upper right called "mini statistics." Click on "Show All Statistics." Scroll down and you'll see "Find all posts by DragonicWolf" and "Find all threads started by DragonicWolf." You can also select the "Statistics" tab in your main panel where you have the Visitor Messages, About Me, and Statistics tabs just above the posting box. You can't subscribe, but you can at least check.

Yup, I am using that now when I have forgotten what topics I have posted on, but it is not very efficient in comparison to what I am asking about here. But thanks a lot for pointing it out anyway. C:

That's a bit more convoluted and takes a lot of time to search the threads that you've posted in, and risk having to check threads that haven't been posted in. What Dragonic is suggesting is that there would be a link provided, perhaps where it says "Welcome [user]," that would lead to a page where it showed you an organized list of which topics have been replied to in order of date/time. It's a lot less of a mess than doing it the way you suggested, and helluva time saver as well. And also, as a mod, it's not unusual for me to post in several topics every day, it's really hard trying to keep track of all of them and I don't usually have the time to do as you suggested.

There is a solution, but I'm not sure if it's what you're looking for exactly.

There's an option in your User CP that would let you automatically subscribe to threads that you have replied to.

Click on that link above, and on the left is a menu list. Click on "Edit Options" under Settings and Options.

Scroll down to "Default Thread Subscription Mode" And click the one that you would like to use.

Ah I did not notice that before. Il see how it works out. Should be good though.

I think it's kind of asking a bit much to see if someone has specifically replied to your posts all the time, but being able to see and search all of your posts is helpful, especially if you remember posting something important in a thread that seems to be so buried you can't even find it in the search or you forgot the topic name. Sometimes I like to review my old posts, use them as the basis for an essay or quote myself if a similar topic crops up. I've spent hours trying to find that 'one specific thing I said' in that 'one particular thread' lol.

Its not JUST to check if someone has SPECIFICALLY replied to my posts, however it is useful to check if someone has replied anyway so that you can read it and reply back, instead of having a number of responses to your opinion being overlooked. Sounds reasonable to me, its not an unusual system for forums to have. Your reasons are also one of my reasons, and it is interesting to know if something new has been posted in a thread in which you have posted in, and a thread you have posted in is bound to be a thread you are interested in. Anyway, I think Jakkal's method works just nicely. C:
