Comments or corrections?

I would find it really useful if there was a page I could go to where it would have a list of every thread I have commented on, and/or every thread I wish to subscribe to. If I want to follow up later on a suggestion or comment I have made, it can be a pain to dig through all the sub-boards to find it again.

I envision this as a button at the top of every forum thread with the option to subscribe to the thread. The subscription would be activated by default whenever you comment on a thread or create a new thread. You would have the option to unsubscribe to any thread you have subscribed to. You would then have a link in the Table Of Contents called "subscribed threads" or something similar, and when you go there you find a listing of all your subscribed threads.

Would anybody else have a use for a central repository of all the threads they want to actively follow?

It wouldn't really benefit me. I really only follow threads until they fall off the front page and then I consider them dead and gone.

It will probably come in the next iteration of TMP, version 4.0.

When will that be?

I don't have enough information to make a prediction yet.

Subscription is very useful. I like BGG because of this feature. But from what I've heard, it's pretty taxing on the server's resource.

Just do a search of your TMP name and check the autor box. That is how I and many others follow threads we are commenting on.

Just make a comment in the thread your interested in. Then go back and do a search for yourself by author in the search function. I've been doing this for years and it works well.

Oops, Vojvoda beat me…..

This would be extremely useful indeed. I was about to make the same request/comment myself. Good thing i checked the existing threads first.

"Subscribe" to a thread????

James's method is how I do it.

I just bookmark the first page of the thread then delete it when it gets stale.
