The threadspotting interface and the information it provides is, I would say, a bit spotty.

Not unlike your OP, really.

Maybe you could post a proposal in support of modifying the Threadspotting interface, together with an opinion regarding the type of information you’d like to see there. This will provide a stronger platform for discussion of the matter, should the Administration of this board wish to engage in such a dialogue.

Personally I have no problem with the _status quo_.

You got the point. Good job!😛

Seriously though, there is no way to go back and find that thread save for clicking on every single one of either my threads of the threadspottings.

And actually, my threads may or may not do it. I really don’t remember the subject.
