Give me a dot! [Archive]

I'd like to see an icon that shows whether or not you've posted in a particular thread (like the dot on CFC). Would that be possible?

And this one, which is much more enjoyable to see (since it could mean someone replied to your post, as opposed to the previous one which means that there's nothing new since your last visit):

I recently added read/unread icons to the subscriptions page:

38.85KB

Not what you want, but a start. Adding those dots isn't trivial - the existing info the page gets doesn't contain the thread content so I will need to do some serious modding...

never noticed the meaning of those icons on CFC. Quite handy actually.

Ah, the subscription page. Never took a look at that... Well, it's not really a pressing matter... but I'm shocked you didn't know what I meant. Without the search option (which is, thank goodness, enabled on our site) it's the only way to keep track of your posts. But then there's the subscribe option obviously.

I use the subscribed page at CFC - it's soooo much easier, and with my (very) occasional posting in OT it is the only way I could follow it.
