    User control panel?

    Another message board Ii frequent (buffalorange.com) has a user control panel. Among other things, it lists threads to which you have responded or have otherwise subscribed to.

    That sounds handy!

    I'll let the powers that be address your suggestion Wink.

    I don't know if you've already discovered this, but there's at least a way to access all your posts. When you go to the upper right corner and click on Signed in as ___, there's a box on the right that lets you see your posts ("search for posts by ____").  Actually, you can click on any username and see all their posts as well. There's also a "favorites" tab.  I hope that helps, at least for now.

     


    Maybe the hokey pokey IS what it's all about.

    While I haven't explored that other site, we do have user pages that allow you to see a users recent and favorite posts. To access these pages, click on the person's username in the left-hand side bar beside a post they've created. So to see MY user page you'd click 'Amber' above the picture of my little kitty cat.

    *or* you can type the person's username to the url: http://www.old97s.com/members/USERNAME.aspx

    so for gebobs that would be: http://www.old97s.com/members/gebobs.aspx 

    when logged in you can add posts to your favorites by click the 'favorites' button, which is in every post ('reply' 'quote' 'favorite' 'contact'). you can also add favorite users and favorite sections. recent posts are tracked automagically.

    hope that's clear, i'm having an issue attaching a screen shot of this .  .  . bah


    Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.

    Thanks...I see the panels on the right now. Those will do!

    I just want to thank you folks for putting this together. This band means a lot to me. I first came across them 12 years ago as I was going through a divorce and songs like Wish The Worst really made me look at myself and my self pity and laugh. Anyhoo...the new wife (10+ years now) and I are flying out to Seattle to see the show with a friend from college that has become obsessed as well.

    Three cheers for the developers!

    Quick question...what are those bars under my name and avatar?

    So cool that you're going up to Seattle! And wow, what a great story  Smile *sigh*

    Re: those bars -- they're like a meter showing how active you are. It also compares you to other users. If you place your cursor over it, it will say Top 10 Contributer or Top 25 or something.  Nerdling that I am, I counted the bars.  Like I thought it might go up to 10.  And then maybe if you're special, yours will go up to 11.  ha!  I haven't seen that movie in soooo long.  (I think there are 8 bars...)

    Later!
