  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

simply so it should show up in that thread. if no fix its fine no need to converse about it- life goes on. thanx maybe silly to you but not to others ( see above)
That was hardly comprehensible. What am I suppose to see above? That others find it annoying? I am one of those others, but to not post because of it is silly IMHO (I don't see anything above that would imply otherwise.)

I think the benefit of the current setup is like this. For example, you once wrote a comment on a topic and now you are not particularly interested in it. Someone else is interested and needs help, feedback, and maybe you will notice, have a spare minute and help them. The more posts in a thread, the more posters, the more possibility that others will see a question and help. That poster is you too, when you need help with something. Basically, because it is set up as is, more people see more posts.

The simple way out would the ability to unsubscribe to a specific thread, preferably if you are totally not connected with that topic and will not be of help to others.

I would prefer it if instead of just showing threads you posted in you can mark threads as favorite to follow

I can think of a couple of times that I have posted in a thread strictly so that I can see when there has been new posts added to that thread.

PM him?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

you prob need to do this first

Can't remember where it is, but I think someone once asked about how to mark specific threads as read as opposed to the "MARK ALL MESSAGES AS READ" button.

  • Go here
  • Change "Show quick-moderation as" to "checkboxes"
