Is there an option I can set so that a “dot” appears indicating I’ve posted in a thread? I didn’t seem to see one on the CP page anywhere. I know i’ve seen it on other newsgroups. I can’t remember if I used to see it here, but it seems like I did. thanks ---

A pushpin appears in the field to the right of the thread title in those threads you’ve subscribed to or posted to. Or at least it ought to. You may have to check your settings in your account profile. ---

We’ve tried that option in the past. It turned the already slow board into a stopped board. A pity, as I liked that feature very much (as did at least one other admin) and would like to be able to have it turned on. Sorry. Lynn For the Straight Dope
