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.
