Participated Quick Link

[Bill Arnold]

That is only if you subscribe to threads. I don't so I only have a couple that show up in the list. ...

So, in my case they show up because I have my settings to subscribe to threads in which I post?

In the Meantime, while we work on things, you could create your own favorites link that looks something like this.I made this one for Bill, whose ID Number is 198. To find your number, Look at the top of the screen where it displays your name and hover your mouse over that and copy the link address. You should see something like ...member.php?1513-Brent-DowellThat number right after the question mark is your id number. Simply replace the 198 below (bills id) with your own and you too can have your very own participated link.

Ok, so you'll need to copy that link and paste it in your browser to see it and change it, but it should work until we come up with a 'magic' link for all of us.

Jim, I am familiar with everything you pointed out, but this is a different thing. It is a search that brings up all new unread posts only from threads I have participated or posted in. The benefit in this search is it bring up only those new posts that I am expecting some response on or have a demonstrated interest in because I posted in it. It would not necessary bring up all my posts which would just add a lot of clutter.

Dang it all. I finally get a chance to act like a techie instead of a doofus and ...

Your idea sounds great. I have my e-mail inform me of all action on threads and posts I have participated in. That creates a lot of clutter also; it is not rare for me to have a hundred notifications. I only do this for FWW.

I can reply through my e-mail. What really happens there is that the email puts me into FWW at that particular post.

I do delete them wholesale. There is a box to mark all items on one page (ten of them); I click it and then un-click the one or two on the page that I want to actually work with.

So No Techie Bradley says, "Enjoy."

Well Jim, it seems as though you might be right and I was wrong. Tapatalk actually pulls all the threads that I participated in, but not as threads but posts with the newest first. It is a different look that allows me to quickly read the responses. I still think having a quick link similar to the search that Brent built would be more interesting than the "Subscribed" quick link, at least for me, as I don't subscribe.

Well, I hovered and did not see anything, but I trust you that I am 198 as the search works. Does this mean that I was the 198th member. Who is no 1? Vaughn?

With the help of Brent's link I think I got something working. Check under the "Quick Link" main menu tab, click the "Participated In" link. It should show what you were wanting.

Yep, you're member #198 (I just double-checked). I'm #2...the #1 account is a special Admin account that I created when I first set things up. We only use that account when we need something beyond our typical Admin superpowers.

[Brent Dowell]

Darren Rocks!

[Bill Satko]

Darren Rocks!

Yep, and I'll bet he didn't even need the special admin account to do it.

[Vaughn McMillan]

Yep, and I'll bet he didn't even need the special admin account to do it.

But the secret handshake was still required.

And yes, Darren does indeed rock. Especially after a few beers, but that's another kind of rocking.

I did a test just now. I posted in the 'Thermally Modified Wood' thread a short while ago. It shows up under 'Quick Links" in 'Subscribed Threads' but not on 'Participated In'. I have my 'General Settings' 'Default Thread Sub mode' set to 'Through my control panel only'.

Edit: I checked again and now that thread shows in both lists. Is there a delay for some reason?
