Question

My last "x" amount of posts feature.

Not sure if this has been mentioned before. But can a feature be added where one can go into their account and access the last (say 10-20) posts (notice the keyword posts, not threads) they have made? This is a very common feature that ALL other forums I have been on offer.

And NO do NOT suggest email subscriptions. I do not want my email flooded with useless junk from here or any other site. If I want to follow up on a post, I want to find it myself and check back in on it. I do not want to see EVERY post that is added to a thread as many may possibly be quite useless cluttering up my inbox.

    This topic has been closed for replies.

    Hi there

    I would think that even with E-Mail (unless you totally participated that way) you wouldn't have what you want because even though I receive notification of all posts via E-Mail, the forum software doesn't transmit my own replies back to me via E-Mail. I know the Jive forums have many shortcomings, but fortunately it's smart enough to do that.

    Cheers... Rick

    Yeah that's why I stressed not email notifications. Because I figured someone would mention that as being an only option to what I wish to seek and it's not what I want.

    I think the feature I am requesting would be very helpful.

    More reasons to have this:

    It is very hard to do a search for my username and find anything I have ever replied to.

    It is not listed already in my profile as stated above (again I frequent many different forums and topics, as many users do).

    It may also help keep new users from duplicating posts since many forums they are used to already have this feature.

    I (as I am sure others do) find myself helping a user and coming back a few days later wondering if their problem was fixed...only to log back on and not remember which forum the topic was in or where it went to.

    Anyone else find a need for this feature, or is it just me since I am so used to using it elsewhere?

    Your profile info satisfies the majority of those requirements.  Recent Activity shows all your recent posts and replies with a link to the thread.  It would be better if the link was to the specific post though.

    Does clicking on your profile provide what you want?

    Well that more. But only the first 50 or 60. I know I've posted more that on that many differentopics. I've been around since 2003 acording the records, its actually been possibly as early as 1999.

    But with all the to-ing and fro-ing trying different forums styles or combining different forums,  several years have disappeared.

    What in the world are you talking about? No one asked how long you have been around here did they?

    50 or 60?

    I asked for like 10-20, that's not unreasonable.

    Ozz, any reasonable feature can be added. Just as any of the reported bugs can be corrected. It just takes some interest and some money from Adobe.

    Guess they don't keep a record of more than that many post. Sorry!

    Phillip, when I did what you suggest, all I got was a list of the last ten threads I have visited. This is quite different from what Ozz is asking for.
