Forum navigation options

[BaK]

Hi

I am a bit lost with the forum options...
There isn't a way to list all the threads I've started, is it?

I am missing this function, probably as I'm used to it @OCN, along with the 'Ive posted' one which makes it easy to get back on old threads.

How do you guys do, activate the 'watch thread' option for all the threads you take part in plus for your own threads also?

postings or recent activity.
alternatively using the advanced search to find all posts by a user name.
Any threads you start or post in are automatically watched, you can also click the watch thread link, top right above the first post in a thread to watch a thread you havent posted in

From what I see, those 2 solutions list posts, not threads, which is not so convenient.

Thx for this info, but how do you get a list of the watched threads?

Under the "Information" tab on a profile page is a link to show all started threads. Also, if you click on a username, there's the same link on the little user profile popup.

Under the "Forums" drop-down in the top nav menu is a "Watched Threads" link.

Thx a lot Aibo!
I guess I've missed the 'Information tab' for the threads I've started, and if I tag all the threads I post in as 'watched' I will be good to go with the drop down menu!

 

[jØrd]

Any thread you post is is (iirc) automatically tagged as watched

 

[BaK]

I meant tagging as 'watched' all the threads I didn't start but participate to.

For instance, I posted in this thread: Alternative Silverstone SG05 Layout?
But if I look in the Forum drop down menu / Watched threads, I don't see it.
So I need to tag it as 'watched'.

And btw, I either don't see the threads I started in this list. So I guess they are not automatically tagged as 'watched'.

 

[jØrd]

perhaps @Aibohphobia can advise, I know that any thread I start or post in is automatically watched but perhaps its not the default and I changed it at some point in the past and just forgot.

 

[jeshikat]

Yeah, you may check preferences @BaK, but I think also early on the automatic watching didn't work reliably but it should now so older threads may not consistently show up.

 

[BaK]

Ok, thx for clarifying, I will have a look at the prefs.
Good catch @j0rd!
