Marker for threads in which you've posted

Thread needs solution

It would be nice to have a marker or icon visible on the threads in which you've posted. This was a feature on Wilders and one I used a lot. It made it easy to see at a glance which threads I was following.

Is it possible to add that feature to this forum?

Hello MudCrab,

Good idea, I would see what if it can be implemented.

Also as more posts are added to each topic the "View first unread" button would be nice

Another strong seconding for this suggestion.

Default Drupal forum doesn't have any way of storing this information - it should be a every thread per user information (just like the markers for the new and updated threads we have now). We will look into how we can add it. As I get it - this flag should show if you have replied in this thread at least once, correct?

como, Seekforever,

Additionally to the link shown by MudCrab there are also navigation links at the right upper corner of every thread:

and at the left lower corner of every reply:

That's correct. Just something (a different thread icon, for example) to let you know that you posted in that thread.

Something like this, perhaps:

---

The Notify me when new comments are posted checkbox seems to default to being checked. Shouldn't this only be checked if the appropriate option is enabled in the user's account? In other words, if the selected option is No notifications, the box should default to an unchecked state. Or maybe add an option to the user's account to select the default status of this option.
