Things we still hope can be brought over from last year's change

[Jstpssng]

I really miss having an icon telling me when I've posted in a thread. At one time there was talk of finding a way to make that happen... has that idea gone by the wayside? (I also miss some of the old icons, i.e. :stirthepot:, but that's probably just nostalgia talking. )

I'm a wee bit confused with your question... unless it's a matter of the 'platform' you're using.

Any thread that I've posted in ('subscribed' to) shows a red "eye" icon beside "Replies:".

I'm on a PC using Google Chrome.

Really? I'm on a PC using "Edge". Also my company Iphone. Neither shows the threads I've posted in.

When I view the forums, it shows me a red eyeball in the posts I've posted to. I think it's a setting in your profile, if I recall it correctly.

I personally avoid both of those platforms.

Chrome or Firefox on PC. Android on Samsung phone. I'll never forgive Apple for treating customers badly back in the 80s.

To me, Apple, Anheiser-Busch, Coke, McDonald's. Jd and many more have out marketed the competition, but have not delivered the products to match the hype.

Edge here as well....and no red eye for me. I'll check the profile thingy and see.

On Chrome and W10 computer. I think the red eye icon means "watched".

It shows on threads that I posted in and Forums that I
watch but have not posted in that thread:

FYI on red icon. This is a thread I have been reading but not posted in. There is no red icon:

Clicked "Watch" above the first post:

Now there is a red icon and I will receive Alerts when there is a new post:

unless I am misunderstanding there’s a difference between watch and participation, but either way, even if you participate in a thread, you still have to click “watch” ?
is that a big 10-4?

I would like the ability to turn my SIGNATURE off/on.

I wish I could access all of the photos I posted to the "old" photo archive, not just the most active.

Red Eyeball thingy works for me now. Just had to check the boxes underlined in red below.

10-10.
Click "watch" if you want to receive an Alert (the red icon) and have not participated.

Ahhhhhhhhhh! Did it and it worked.
Thanks XFaxman!

What I like about the old software was it automatically showed you that you participated in a thread. No manual clicky clicky needed

It will be automatic now if you check the boxes!

You can even get emailed if you want to.

^^^^
That must be what I needed to do, as I've been getting the icon on every thread I've posted to since playing around with it earlier today.

Thanks!!!

Another vote for the old forums image archive management.

I can see all of my photos I posted back to 2001. Would you like some assistance looking for them?
