Hi,

I am new to this board, so please excuse me if this has been covered before.

On other boards I visit there are thread icons that indicate threads I have posted in.

Is this possible here?

Seems a small thing but I don't always remember what threads I've posted on and like to keep up on follow up posts.

thanks for reading,
Joe

Of course you can click your user name to do that, but it is the longer way around.

You can also put a check mark in the "Check this if you wish to be notified of replies to this topic." I use this often when I want to keep up with posts in a particular thread.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. Yeah, I was aware of both of those tactics, and was looking for something different.

Something where I can tell at a glance of the category the topics I had posted in.

Not a big fan of e-mail notification, enough crap to wade through there as it is.

I am not an expert, but I wonder if it would be more cost efficient for the host to modify my cookie once when I post to a thread, or send me an e-mail every time someone else posts to that thread. just curious.

regards,
Joe
