Monitoring replies to posts is tricky

Post by brendonhatcher » Thu Mar 06, 2008 7:42 pm

Hi

As a mod in the general forums, I pay a lot of attention to threads that I have participated in, returning repeatedly to drive towards successful resolution.

To do this on the old forum, I went to "Replies to my posts".
Every topic there was a response that happened after mine, or after my last reading.
When I read the reply, they disappeared from the list.

In the new forum, I can see the threads I have contributed to BUT:

I see them even if no-one has replied.
If I read the thread again, it does not disappear from the list.

This is going to make it REALLY hard to track conversations.

Am I missing something? If not, what can be done - this functionality is absolutely essential.

Thanks
Brendon

Hi

To answer my own question/concern

The icon before each post under "View your posts" provides sufficient information to determine which threads I should look at.
