Highlighting User Posts

February 22, 2003 2:03 PM

How about highlighting the threads on the front page that the logged-in user has posted in? Going to your user info to see all your recent comments is a bit cumbersome. Something like making the "n new" in "N comments (n new)" a different color and pointing that link to your most recent comment in the thread.

Or is that too computationally intensive? The server would have to go through all visible threads' contents... but then it already generates the "n new since your last visit" number.

on the front page, once you're logged in, click on the drop down box and choose "my comments."

Oh, sorry... forgot about that. I'm happy now.

If you can't remember which threads you posted in, you post way too much *g*

Something likes this makes more sense on a slashcode based site where your comment can be modded and have responses directly to it. With the MeFi-style of comments you pretty much have to read the whole thread to get the context anyway...

I usually try to forget my comments as soon as possible, quonsar.
