bring back the "topics joined" button on users pag

Why was this taken away? I used it quite frequently myself..

Better to be hated for who you are than loved for who you're not

On one hand, this IS Justins site, and I guess he can do any stinkin thing he wants to it. On the other, thousands of us have donated/bought tool points and premium accounts to support this site and hope that it can only get better. Its quite depressing when a change comes around that doesnt seem to make much sense, hasn't been asked or suggested by anybody in the request forum, and changes the way we used to do things on a daily basis.

Its no secret that many, many members here visit daily, often several times a day, every single day....for years! Its nice getting into a grove and being used to the same format and features on a site. When they change for no apparent reason, its a lot more noticeable to many people than I think Justin realizes.

Re: bring back the "topics joined" button on users

That isn't what I am talking about.

say I have you as my buddy. That being the case, we have each other on our watched lists, so the element of "stalking" is out of the picture. If I was interested in knowing which threads you have joined, I have no direct way of doing so now. I "can" look at your posts tab, but that just shows the individual posts you made in a certain thread, but it doesnt even list the thread you joined, only the forum it is from.

Oh...I thought you were reffering to the postlist. Sorry for the confusion.

In that case, I'm *neutral* on this issue since I have no use for this feature myself.

I noticed today that the "topics joined" button on a users page is gone. What is the reason for that? I can click on the "posts" tab, but that is such a mess since it lists every single post, sometimes several from within one thread.

---

Im talking about other users, not myself. If I have you justin as a buddy, how can I easily see which threads you've joined? I can't.

I know I can see your posts, but that only shows the single post you make, without any reference to the thread or reply you made to a thread. The Topics joined did just that and I used it all the time.

I am NOt talking about following users threads. I have no interest in following every thread that my "buddies" make, but I wish there was a nice and easy way to view the topics they have joined.

I searched the Security forum this afternoon for one thread. I didn't know the original poster, but I remembered a person that had contributed to the thread. I was unable to find the thread via search, because "search on posted by johndoe was still there" but not "topic that johndoe posted to later." Arrrgggg.

I can't assume that every thread that I read is something that I will need later.

One thing that may help is that on a member's page, you can now see 180 days of their topics and posts.

---

You can see all their Posts (if you click "Posts" on their page). And if you have an idea of the thread title and/or time period, and you already know the forum, you may be able to find it.

I understand it is not exactly what you are requesting; it's just a suggestion that might help someone in a similar situation.

I agree, that was one of the features I used most.

In fact, I always used it on myself, but it was great seeing other peoples' topics. That's how I found lots of good topics in which to participate.

Actually, I was going through giving everyone a thumbs up and I didn't realize I was doing the Accepted Answer button until I refreshed the page. I just never bothered going back to change them.
