"View active topics"

[rainbowgardener]

So what happened to "view your posts," which is what I always go to first, to follow what is happening on threads I have contributed to, and keep dialogues going where appropriate. I could find my posts through my profile and "search user's posts," but that shows all of them, with no way to know which ones have been responded to or not. View your posts brought up a list that showed which ones of threads I contributed to had responses.

What's an "active topic"?

Did anybody ask us if this is a change anyone wants?

And incidentally what are topic icons? What are they for and where do they show up if you use one?

Heh. I put the active list back in because some might find it useful, now that I fixed it. If you scroll to the bottom of the active list you can choose to see active topics from one day or seven days or more. It doesn't list all individual posts. It just lists "topics" that are active for the selected time period.

Post icons are those little icons visible for selection when you made your post, as you can see in my post. I enabled it for this forum because post icons are a hoo-ha kind of thing which makes it a match for this forum, which is about hoo-ha and foo. I believe the post icon will show up in the Foo Forum list if a topic is started with one. That feature's not enabled in the regular forums.

The view your posts thingy is up there. Never went away as far as I know...

View your posts is there now, wasn't last night... I don't know, maybe it's a quirk of my computer, but since it disappeared the same time view active topics appeared, I thought it was something you did.

I marked the ? post icon, just to see what would happen.
