Apologies if this has been covered before, but is there a way to keep track of topics I've responded to?

Most of the forums I belong to have an icon to the left of topics that I have responded to that differs from the topics I have not responded to.  Not here, though.  Is there another way that I can differentiate which threads I've commented in?

If not, perhaps this is a feature that the powers that be might want to consider?

Don't get me wrong, I try my best to keep track mentally.  I don't post terribly often, so usually I can recognize threads I've participated in.  But other times I forget completely and it would be helpful to have another way of reminding me.

You can click on "Profile" at the top,   and then on the left look for "Notifications and Email",    and click on it.    You can set it up in there so that you get email notifications when topics you've been replying on have new replies.

Rats...I was hoping my profile would at least have an area where it would show me these topics in list form. 

Subscribing to topics is handy when the forum gets very little traffic and/or I rarely visit, but this is a busy site and I'm here pretty much daily.  I wouldn't want to be innundated with notification emails.  That's what drove me crazy on Myspace until I figured out how to turn that feature off, lol.

There I go being impossible to please again.  (Please feel free to pelt me with tomatoes.   )

Oh well...

The notification emails aren't all that bad.  You only get one per topic until you sign on again.  No matter how many replies there have been.

You could also go down the list of posts you've made through your profile.

The several hundred of us that have been a while (some for years) have been just fine with those two methods.

Other than that you're going to need to depend on your noggin.

That's not too bad.  I thought it was one email for every single reply (yikes!), rather than one per thread.  One per thread does sound manageable.

You could also go down the list of posts you've made through your profile.

I'll probably go that route.  I found the "show posts" link...which I didn't know was even there until you suggested it.  Thanks!

Any time.
