Checking earlier posts

Sorry, GS1, but this is CT and the software lacks many things.

I’m guessing you're fairly new to the forum and weren't around when the 'new and improved' version was launched 4 years ago. We were asked for suggestions and your point was one that was mentioned along with page numbers top and bottom, a functioning spell checker, a PM facility, login taking us back to where we were instead of the start of the thread etc etc. I'm sure you get the idea.

there are lots of things that 'other forums' can do .... this one is still coal fired and no prospect of anyone with any IT skills doing anything about it. Not being so bl**dy slow would be a start!

This thread should provide hours of amusement.

If you look at your profile you can see the threads where you have added a contribution and maybe track things from there.

Yes Tinwheeler, I'm fairly new to the site, joined a year ago so wasn't aware of this being a new and improved version.

Brue, it isn't necessarily keeping track of threads where I've added a contribution, more of tracking posts which have a topic I'm interested in.

If there are, for example, 150 posts in total and 30 new ones it would be nice to go to the start of the new ones to continue reading the thread.

In that event I suggest you click "folliw" on whichever thread you are interested in and this will send an e mail alert when a new post has been added.

Should read. Follow...

I tried that once. It was on a "Hot" topic. Emails flooded in and overwhelmed the system. Never again, even on threads I start. I just check in regularly.

I have a couple of post that I marked to "Follow" and for a while I got a notification, but then even those disappeared. The forum is a shambles if one is trying to find the latest post one has read it there are many responses after the last time one looked.
