[quote="EJR"]A user should be able to "subscribe" or "follow" any thread[/quote] Yes. I agree. Been something I've intended on adding for a long time. I probably need to redo the RSS feature and integrate it well enough that it is possible to subscribe to about anything. [quote="EJR"]Which leads to the "Find My Posts" issue. I cannot seem to figure out how to find my own posts. There is no direct link on the site (that I can find) to see my own profile.[/quote] Go here: http://dev.milescity.com/ Make sure you are logged in. Then click "My Profile" (at the top of the page). Then click "My Posts". You can bookmark that page. Yours is here: http://dev.milescity.com/people/profile/posts/?uid=7a4ebf94-2d21-47b2-ad00-bceef6d0c3de [quote="EJR"]Then there is the "Edit" thing. I have discovered that one must first use the section of this forum for the original post, then while in the section (and only then) can one Edit a post. I'm sure most users don't realize that it works this way, or that there is even a section of the forum. Will this be made a standard feature on the default forum site soon? And along those lines, what about a user being able to delete their old posts that are no longer relevant?[/quote] Not sure what you mean. You should be able to edit any post, either site, as long as it hasn't been replied to yet. You need to login at each site to see the Edit button. There is no means of deleting old posts since they are public conversation. Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep your comments in mind when I update the site software, next go around.

Subscribe, Edit, and Find My Posts

EJR — Tue, 4 Dec 2012 02:03:47 UTC

These three features seem to date back over a decade with all good forum software, and I can't seem to find them here. A user should be able to "subscribe" or "follow" any thread (and all "new topics" they create by default), and get an email notification of any new posts in that thread. As it is, if I list something for sale (for instance), unless I visit the forum a dozen times per day or more, and search for my specific post, I will never be able to make a timely response to someone interested in my stuff. What if I have a dozen things listed? I have to look up every thread several times per day just in case someone responds? Which leads to the "Find My Posts" issue. I cannot seem to figure out how to find my own posts. There is no direct link on the site (that I can find) to see my own profile. I have to search for a thread that I posted on so I can click on my own username. What if I haven't posted anything in 2 weeks? I have to search through pages and pages to try and find myself.. Am I missing something? I will feel dumb for mentioning this if there is an obvious link that I am missing... but if this is an existing feature, can someone tell me how to find it? I'd appreciate that. Then there is the "Edit" thing. I have discovered that one must first use the section of this forum for the original post, then while in the section (and only then) can one Edit a post. I'm sure most users don't realize that it works this way, or that there is even a section of the forum. Will this be made a standard feature on the default forum site soon? And along those lines, what about a user being able to delete their old posts that are no longer relevant?

I should open another account under a nom de plume. Maybe, "Busch Light"?

I guess the "If you are not xxx click here" works.

RE: Custom Posts Display

Good idea...Perhaps also when someone edits their post that could flip it to the top also cause I always seem to miss it when someone adds to their original post and it doesn't cause the post to move to the top... [This message has been edited by howdy (5/7/2012)]

I agree!

Custom Posts Display

MilesCity.com Webmaster — Mon, 7 May 2012 16:06:36 UTC

(Submitted by Buck Showalter) Probably a big pain, but it would be cool if we could choose the number of posts displayed per page. An alternative consideration might be to have it read backward from newest to oldest. Once in a while things blow up and there are 75 new responses to a thread, but I'm usually looking for the few most recent.
