Suggestion to improve Forum configuration

#1 20-05-2011, 07:06 PM

I find it hard to instantly access my recent posts/threads. The way I am currently doing is from my computer History files. I would like to suggest the username to be click-able from here:-
Welcome, astroboy.
You last visited: Today at....

It should direct us to the User CP.

The User CP should have the following:-

Total Posts: ................

from my experience of running forums it's not that easy to change the format of the forum workings.

However if you click Quick Links over on the right near the top you will see a heap of useful links, including "My Posts", you can also set it so every thread you post in you are subscribed to... see the link "subscribed threads".. this should solve your problems...

Thank you Tilia.
That sure makes things much easier.

hey astroboy,

This website is best used in internet explorer.There is a link "quicklinks" under which you can see my posts.

hope it helps.

Regards,

The search function works very well too... or just click your own name and view your profile and there you see the options... and quicklinks as was suggested.

Thank you, Admin. I just saw it come up.
Either you just added it or I just became aware after my 15th post.

Thanks to your valuable info too, whitelotus and gem.

Most likely you've just become aware - nothing has been changed.

Anyways I will like to suggest site admins to include some thumbs up feature below each post to let others give their likings for a specific posts. It adds to the motivation of a user a lot. :)

Hi Meryem, then there will follow requests for a thumbs down icon to tell people their posts are not liked, this could have a detrimental effect on people who may struggle with expressing themselves clearly, people with dyslexia and such, also our founder never added anything like this so we have to assume that he did not want it.
