Some helpful search option requests

[Marcusb]

OK, I've looked through and can't find any previous mention of this...

In the previous forum there was an option to view new posts since last visit. I loved this and used it often. Another thing that I like in other forums and think would be good to implement here is an option to view replies to my posts. tHis helps keep track of people who have an issue that I asked for more information from, to help them further. I think these other forums use vBulletin so hopefully this isn't too much of an ask...

i had trouble finding this one too - so embarrasing when i was told where it was
there's a button labelled 'new posts' on the horizontal navigation bar thingy above...

you have multiple options to get new posts.

1. in the navbar -> New Posts
2. forumbased -> in forum view View New Posts

[Marcusb]

OK, found the "New Posts" bit, thanks for that. I must have been blind

How about the "New Replies to your posts" request? Is this possible on this BB now? Basically it gives you a list of all threads that you have posted in that have had a reply since you last looked at them.

Thnaks,

Marcus

if you subscribe to a topic (by a reply or by clicking "subscribe to this thread") you will get an email notification when a new reply is posted.
(type of notification can be adjusted in usercp (instand, daily-summary, weekly-summary) and when posting in additional options.

if you do not want to get notification emails you can turn that off in user cp

if you enter user cp you will also see automatically every thread you have subsribed which has a new unread reply New Subscribed Threads:

thanks, IL, I already have the email notifications, but on a few other forums they have this other option which I find really useful (stops me getting too many emails and I can look out for replies to specific threads).

It's not anything too important, just a feature request for the new boards.

Thanks,

Marcus.

just enter usercp and you get excatly what you requested

if you turn of the email notification, you will not get notification emails, but still find all threads you subscribed (started/posted in) in usercp.

still not exactly what I requested.
Another forum I use has a link on the home page which simple says "View Replies to your posts" and when clicked it gives you a list of threads that you have been active in that have since had replies, whether or not you are subscribed.

In MP, I subscribe to all my threads by default, but end up getting a lot of emails. On the other forum, I only subscribe to the really important ones and just use the top link to check up on the rest.

Like I said, it's not exactly make or break, but I think this engine should be able to handle it. I would post a link, but that forum is down at the moment. D'oh...

i see no difference.

in the forum you are talking about you have one extra link.
here you only have to click usercp and get exactly the same and all other user options.

if you do not like the subsciption emails, turn the off in your usercp.

if you do not like to automatically subscribe every topic you are replying/starting just turn it off in usercp.

usercp -> edit options -> Messaging & Notification : Default Thread Subscription Mode

*sigh* There is a serious mis-communication here...

You don't see the difference because you mis quoted me so badly. There is no difference if you cut off the "Whether or not you have subscribed" part.

Basically all I had asked for was a way to see all new replies to my posts WHETHER OR NOT I HAD SUBSCRIBED.

I know you can subscribe to all automatically and you can individually select ones you want to subscribe to. All I had asked for was a link to see all replies to threads I had posted to. In each of my posts I had said that it wasn't a big deal, just something I thought would be nice. In your responses it seems like you think I have asked for the most stupid thing in the world. I know the nature of the internet makes it hard to guage the tone of messags, but this was the impression I got.
