Is there a way to bookmark posts that I have started or posted in.  I post to so many of them that I am having trouble recalling which ones I might need to respond to.  Thanks in advance for any help.

At the top of any thread, there is a link called "Track Thread."  If you click that, it stores the thread for you.  Then, on the main forums page (http://www.thecbg.org/e107_plugins/forum/forum.php), at the bottom, beneath the section entitled "Information," is a link called "List Tracked Threads," which will open a page to show you all the threads you are tracking.  It's e107's lame alternative to the much more useful "Thread subscriptions" on most other forums that will be fixed in the upgrade.

Thank you Ish.

Yeah, that is kind of lame. I didn't know about that option until today, and it took me a little while to figure out how to use it. Considering I primarily use the recent Posts window on the main page, this seems to have very little use for me.


Now to go track all of the threads of my work....

Yeah, that's what I use to track Xiluh and some of my other favorite settings for updates ;)

I knew over year ago.  Because I'm just that awesome and like to break the norm.

Wow I would have used that had I known about it. I thought it was just one of those annoying subscribe to thread things that spams you with emails.

Well, it will send you emails when a tracked thread is updated, so ... you were kinda right about that.

I would actually love a secondary window on the new site ish, one that would show the threads you are subscribed to.
