Is there a way to see when there is activity in a thread that you have participated in without going to the thread and checking?
Thanks.

At the top of the site, click on Threads, then in that overview change All threads to just Subscribed threads. Since (AFAIK per default) the forum software auto-subscribes you to every thread you comment on, this gives you just what you want.
-
Go to Threads view (in whichever context you want). You'll see a button labelled 'All threads'. Touch it, you get a drop-down menu. Select 'Subscribed threads' and it'll show all the threads you're subscribed to. You're automatically subscribed if you post in a thread.
-
I go to “See your profile”, tap on it and then on “see post”. It’s a bit tedious, but is the best way I’ve found to far…
-
This doesn’t seem to work for me - it shows only six threads. I don’t know how many I’ve contributed to, but it’s more than that!
-
It's context dependent. You'll only get every single thread if you do it from the top-level 'Threads' page. I'f you're in a category, you just get the threads in that category.
-
It works very well for me 😎
-
Just tried it again, ensuring that I was in the top level - and there were still only six threads in the list….

I'll link this to bug reports, it's strange
-
I found I didn't get subscribed to my first few threads, (possibly all those before I changed the default under profile to auto subscribe) but it seems to work reasonably once I'd gone back & enabled them.
When there's time hopefully the admin will add a notification icon, as I've seen in many other forums. Being able to enable notifications on entire categories would also be nice... -
That’s it! I’d turned off ‘automatic subscription’. I’ve changed it now. My apologies for wasting your time fussing about nothing!
-
IIRC, when I first looked at my settings after registering, I think I had to enable automatic subscription to threads that I replied to. Perhaps Wolfshead didn't do that and is only subscribed to threads explicitly subscribed to? Just a shot in the dark.
Whoops; this was already figured out. I don't see an option to delete my post; if I delete all content, does the post disappear, or is there an empty post?
-
No, you can't delete your own posts. I've just had a wander around the settings and I can't see how to enable it - so one for the feature list.
You can't create an empty post - there has to be at least (I think) 5 characters in it before the 'reply' button is enabled.Alan

Is this true for the mobile site as well? … maybe I’m blind, but I’m not seeing it.
-
I don't see it for the mobile site either.

The current method seems overly complicated. It would be a lot easier from an end user standpoint to have a flag like DPR at the top of the page that lets you see all threads that you started and all threads where you have made a comment. It could be next to the comment icon. It would also be nice if the list of threads were ordered in the order of most recent activity.
Thanks,
Joe

As well as threads you just read that became grey in DPRetired.
All these parameters are obvious at a glance in most forums I participate in.
