Where did that go!?

I like to know who made the post. Hope it comes back,please.

jardindefleurs: Do you mean you want to see the name of the person who posted the new thread on the forum front page? I wondered about that too but have gotten used to seeing it when I click on the thread.

I have a yen to know which threads in a forum I have "Watched".

For example, the "New?" column in forum front page shows a red "Yes!" or black "--" .

It might instead display a blue "w" for "no new posts and you are watching this thread" and a blue "Yes!" for "yes there are new posts but they are on your Watch List".

Maybe that feature is only handy for certain styles of browsing, but sometimes I like to reassure myself that I've 'covered all the bases' I want to, in a whole forum, yet I don't want to open each idle thread every time I forget what I'm watching (which would 3 times per week!)

Hi plantladylin.

Yes, that's what I mean. It just helps me remember what I've read. It also helps me get familiar with the people on here.
