discussion How to quickly know if i already replied in a thread?

[neonbadger]

There's many threads with names like "Do you like this or that" and i find it hard to remember if i already left a reply or not.
Of course i can read through all of the pages, but it takes a lot of time.
Is there a way to know at a quick glance if i already left a reply in a thread or not?

Goto your own profile, there is a tab for postings and posting area
Or you can sort it out via the advanced search, with which thread and when it was posted

You mean "Your content" link under my profile? Yes it does show all threads I've been active in, but then again i have to look through potentially many pages to find the one I'm interested in.
Advance search works, but it takes a lot of clicks to find out... this solution is not great, not terrible...

Preferably it should show directly if i've been active in a thread, maybe indicated with color or hover or an icon or accessed with one button click.

this is also simple, go to that thread, search the current thread, with your user name

Yes, that's what i've meant with many clicks...
You have to:
click into the thread
click search
click everywhere dropdown
click on this thread
click on by member
type your id (say 10 inputs)
click search

And that for every thread....
When there's a solution out there with 0-1 clicks...

If you see your avatar in the corner of a thread, then you have posted in there.

Ahh, yes! Didn't notice that earlier. Thank you for pointing it out!

I also have this doubt. I already knew that on the "Similar threads" section there is your miniature to indicate it, but on the "Latest Replies" section or the thread page itself, is there any way to quickly know it?

Understandeble, it's way more noticeble if you have a custom avatar.

No, sadly not. The latest replies works a bit different. That's why threads you set to ignore will still show up there, for exemple.
All you can do is try to remember.

On the "Latest Replies" I get it. It's really small and some threads doesn't even show the full name, but I don't get why it isn't shown on the thread when you're reading. It could be next to the thread author, date and number of posts, like "Your last post was on XXXX-XX-XX XX:XX" or whatever.

Oh, I agree.
I also wish there was a quick option to only show your own posts, so you can quickly see what you wrote.

This stuff needs to be coded into the forum system, if there is not already a plugin for it.
But coding that costs a lot of money. For exemple to get a Latest Update page similar to that of F_95_zone it costs $1400.
