doesn't look that way :(

try to replace it with xf's 'watched threads'

So far that is what I am doing. I would sometimes use My Posts for threads I only watched for a short time, but as they got old I let them go - Only used the subscribed for threads I wanted to save for good info or were regular threads that I posted in... Watched threads will work - just add and delete as needed...

I hope these comments help:

1. Just before the migration, I purchased a topper in our Classifieds. Natch, we were communicating via PM/Conversations. After the migration (Sat) I used the same thread to send another PM to the seller. He received it and responded to me immediately. Worked like a charm post migration with the same pre migration thread. All I can think of is that I don't send/use a lot of PMs so maybe their is some sort of limiting factor which caused the glitch.

2. We were discussing the display of data from our profile in the post bit below the avatar area so it's visible as we read a thread. I respectfully support the display of at least our physical location and join date. I'm willing to compromise /lol and forgot the post count. I spent a significant portion of my life trying to eliminate "clicks" or "click" in an effort to improve usability on web sites of all flavors. I certainly don't want to bore you with my reasons as most of them have already been posted.

I found this series of templates for XF. Which says:

"When message wrapper is disabled, poster profile and message are contained in separate blocks with arrow between them.

When message wrapper is enabled, poster profile and message are contained within same block. Poster profile has different background (you can disable it) to separate profile from message."

Example of a site which uses this template: Cruelty free cosmetics | Vegan Forums

HTH

If you go to your profile page, there are a couple tabs there that list your posts and activity. Would those work, Semi?

Naw, they do not show me the progress of the thread or the latest poster. I will develop a work around - it took me a while to use the old forum in a way that was comfortable so I will adapt and overcome - for me - no big problem. I do not let change get in the way of my life - change happens everyday - back in my working days - if you saw me walk into your office - it meant changes were coming... :lol:

I think it would be Nice if they would do the Same thing with the Supporting Member jpg. Make it a Ribbon just like the ECF Veteran.

It would save a Lot of White Space on a page.

This is a pretty neat feature I just discovered. Makes it easy peasy to extract only the relevant parts of another members post for your reply. Only the part you want. Click and then drag across the section of the post you wish to quote and then release your mouse and you should see a pop up that says Quote | Reply. A valuable time saver.

Thank you!
:)

I second that motion - if my opinion counts. I have been a supporting member in the past and will be again in the future - waiting for all the bugs to be worked out first.

I would like to add my vote for this as well. I don't think most of us who choose to support do so for a big badge. ( we do it so we can show off our mood!!)

And it could be less overhead on the database - depending upon how it is configured of course...
