Hi TBI/PTSD,

I partly answered the post you left in my "Trying to get out and about" thread ... here is a link back to the thread, positioning you at my answer:

As to how to track your posts, I figured I'd answer here to help ensure you see the information. Perhaps one or more of these tips will help you:

-------------------

Option 1: Automatic Post Subscription:

(Drawback, your subscriptions will pile up. You stay subscribed permanently unless you go into your subscription options and manually unsubscribe. Turning off this setting does not unsubscribe you.)

You can change a single setting in your profile in order to be subscribed automatically to any thread you post to (including any new thread you start), and receive notification from the forum when subscribed threads are updated.

From any Neurotalk page:

1. Click "UserCP" (leftmost link on horizontal menu, near top of page)
2. Click "Edit Options" from the list on the left (entitled "Your Control Panel")
3. Scroll down to the "Messaging and Notification" section.
4. Go to the second option group, entitled "Default Thread Subscription Mode."
5. Click on the dropdown box to change its value, choosing the form of notification you prefer.
6. Finally, scroll all the way to the bottom of the page, and click the "Save" button. You must do this or your options will not be changed.

-------------------

Option 2: Forum Subscription:

As an alternative to subscribing to each thread, you could subscribe to the forum. Doing this you can get an email periodically which tells you of any threads in the forum which have been added or changed.

From the page of the specific forum (thread listing) to which you want to subscribe:

1. Find the header line, right above the sticky threads, that says "Threads in forum..."
2. On that line, towards the right, you'll see a link that says "Forum Tools" -- click on that.
3. From the dropdown menu, select "Subscribe To This Forum".
4. In the page that opens, pick the notification type you prefer from the dropdown box.
5. Finally, click on the "Add Subscription" to complete the process.

When you subscribe to any given forum, the notifications you get do not discriminate between the threads to which you've posted and those you've not, but you can tell that from the thread listing itself....

-------------------

Option 3: Thread icons and tooltips:

In the thread listing, to the left of each title, there is a little icon that changes depending on how many replies are in the thread, whether you have posted to it, etc. The thread icon shows an arrow if you have posted to it.

Threads you've posted to also give you a tooltip when you pass your mouse over their icon. The tooltip will tell you "You have [number of] posts in this thread, last on [date you last posted]. (When you haven't posted to a thread, no tooltip comes up.)
