zlim 1,283 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 (edited) Other forums I go to, indicate one way or the other,(sometimes a check, other times my nym) threads I have posted to. Is it possible to do the same here? Images removed by plodr. Edited July 25 by zlim images no longer needed Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,644 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I do not think that it is possible with our current software but Eric would know for sure. Link to post Share on other sites

There is a ✰ that appears on the far left side of the thread listings in all forums. When you see that ✰, it means that you have participated in that thread. Screenshot: However, I will tell you this... I cannot see that star with my Firefox browser. I have to use Chromium to see it. So, for me to keep track of posts I've participated in I use a combination of "Notifications" and the "Unread" link, which I have customized to show posts that I "follow" when I click on it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
securitybreach 11,644 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 Ah, that is what the star is for. I figured it was something else as it is grayed out. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,806 Posted July 23 Share Posted July 23 I don't think it's actually grayed out. I think it's just that faded color on porpoise. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I see the star in Firefox 78.12.0esr. Didn't realise what it meant until now, so thanks Eric. You seem to have occasional weird problems with your FF, too many custom user preferences? 1 Link to post Share on other sites

zlim 1,283 Posted July 24 Author Share Posted July 24 Thank you for explaining the significance of that star! I did not know what it meant. Problem solved! 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Unless by "participated" you mean read a post and not just wrote a post. Link to post Share on other sites

Unless by "participated" you mean read a post and not just wrote a post. I think a filled-in dark star means you have contributed and there are new posts in that thread. If there are new posts in a thread to which you haven't contributed you will see a blue circle. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
V.T. Eric Layton 6,806 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 Contributed also includes clicking the "Like" button on the lower right side of a post, I believe. > If there are new posts in a thread to which you haven't contributed you will see a blue circle. And yes to this. I forgot to mention the blue circles in my replies above. Link to post Share on other sites
crp 833 Posted July 27 Share Posted July 27 wow, to me that star / circle is very subtle , didn't realize they were not the 'same' thing. how do people using phones tell the difference? Link to post Share on other sites
