Hi. I have a question about contributing to threads. I am a member of quite a few internet forums spanning many subjects. In many of these forums, one can easily distinguish threads in which they have contributed by an icon or marker beside the thread name. This is extremely useful as it is not always easy to remember which threads one may be an active part of (and, there may be many). Sometimes thread names can be vague, and as one skims over the threads in regular browsing one may scarcely be aware that they posted a question there that may have since been answered (especially if it has been a while between visits).
So, for instance: Red coffee mug = new posts in the thread Red coffee mug with a black dot on it = new posts in a thread I contributed to and so forth... I'm sure you get the idea. Thanks for considering the suggestion.

The easiest way to find topics that you have contributed to is to click on your user name in the upper right corner of the page. That will give you a listing of the topics you have contributed. You can also use the search function directly by entering your name as a search criteria. There you have many options such as defining which forums you want to look at, or what time period, or just a topic title or just a word in the body of a post. Understand though, that there is a 2 minute waiting period between each search.

Thank you for your reply. I am aware of the ability to search by user name, but specifically searching for your user name to discover threads that you have contributed to is not really the same as being albe to easily identify them while browsing the forums - that's why I asked the question. I find that type of functionality useful, and I suspect that others might as well.
I am aware that it is technically do-able since many other forums have this. Is there any chance that it could be added to the Café'? Thanks.

Well, certainly anything is possible and I'm definitely not the one that decides what enhancements will be added to the Café, but I'm pretty sure this would be much more complicated and difficult to set up and manage than a member simply doing a search.

Sorry, I thought this was the place to go to ask the people who ARE in charge of deciding what enhancements to add to the Café.

This is the correct forum. I answered your initial question however the owner of the site, Steve Brooks, would ultimately make the final decision in matters such as this.
