Implemented An indicator to show that you've posted in a thread

[Kim]

Hello there

Is there currently a way of graphically indicating which topics one has participated in? I don't seem to see anything like that myself (FF 3.6.8)

If not, can we have a "dot" indicator of some kind.

Thanks!

Kim

It felt weird when at first when they didn't include the mini-me's on my own threads. I couldn't quickly glance down the list and see threads I've participated in...If you don't include the mini-me on your own threads, then your brain has to consciously look for 2 things (mini me and your large avatar) as opposed to just one (mini-me)

I couldn't find the right words to describe what I was trying to say in my previous post, but you hit the nail on the head!

Agreed with having the mini avatar on threads you start as well. I notice the shape/position of the mini avatar more so than I notice the contents of either the large or mini avatar.

This ^.

You may have not feel like you found the right words, but you got the message across ...to me at least

I didn't notice as I wasn't online when they were first introduced, so perhaps I missed on seeing it but I get it.

Mini-me's should stay on threads you started, definitely.

 

[Ahmed]

I don't know why or how, but it looks nice to me now.
And it should stay on thread you/me started.
Also I think there should be an option to switch this feature On/Off in the AdminCP for many reasons such as what DoctorWatsOn said about boards that do not allow avatars, or whatever reason.

 

[Disjunto]

boards without avatars have bigger issues than the mini-me

Could not they use a generic default avatar? The way the software is designed, some image needs to be used.

 

[Brandon_R]

When scanning the list, one may merely look for the presence of a mini-avatar. Not whose avatar is in the larger box.

Also, Disjunto raises a great point.

Agreed, that's what i would do and how the human mind thinks

All Watched Threads mini-me-party...


For everyone that loves mini-me now (including myself), take a look at this screen where he (or she) apparently really feels home, hehe :

You do, it's called backspace in the templating system.

Or even <!-- -->, or perhaps <xen:comment> like vB4 has to actually stop the comments parsing whatsoever!

I like.

Although, how will it work on boards that don't allow avatars?

Good question, did we get an answer?

Avatars are integrated much into this software i doubt it would do any good to disable them or even have an option to disable them.

I need to post in more threads or I will never get to see how it looks...

Although I didn't like the first implementation, I really like it now.

Maybe it's because the avatar's are 25% larger?

Or maybe it's because it's different from every other forum.

Whatever the reason, I'm glad it's back to stay.

Why?

That board I linked to earlier has almost 43 million posts and almost 400,000 members, another one I visit has almost 10 million posts/40,000 members and in a recent poll over 85% voted against having avatars - both of those sites also have signatures switched off, some people just like 'clutter-free' boards.

 

[Disjunto]

I meant with this XenForo, so much of the layout is designed around the majority of users boing distinguishable by their avatar, without avatars it will look very strange

Yeah, and it was also founded in the previous millennium
