Is this icon now gone with this new version? I like to know which treads I've contributed into see if the OP has follow up questions, etc. It makes things a lot easier for me.

I Agree. Strongly. I saw my icon in one thread that I had posted in but not in others

The eyes in the middle column show which threads you are watching

But I am not watching any threads. It's just convenient to know which threads I posted in? I don't see any eyes...o.o

Hm .. then how come I saw my icon, in smaller size, in side the icon on the left of the thread? That's what I had expected to see and I DID see it once. Maybe I'm going senile?

Anyway, thanks for the eye. I'll look for that instead.

Make sure the watch checkbox is clicked. The specific feature you are requesting I don't believe exists any longer

nice avatar btw!

Thank you. In fact, I made a thread about it just now since it seems to be turning fuzzy upon uploading to PF's servers. The thread is right below this one.

OK, you poisonous tree frog you, let's get some consistency here. I'm happy to see I'm not going senile after all. :p

So old threads just don't look as pretty as new theads. What do you have against old threads? :(
You do realize, I hope, that age discrimination is against the law. :D

The top part of phinds post with the persons small version avatar super imposed on the avatar of the OP is the standard for seeing what threads a person has posted in when using Xenforo ... but I don't see that for any threads I have posted in
Edit ... I backed out and it is now working ... its just that all previous threads posted in are not shown ...
obviously that info was lost in the transfer to the new systemDave

What is an "Icon identifying which treads I've posted in"?

An "Icon identifying which treads I've posted in" refers to a small symbol or image that is displayed next to a thread or discussion on a forum, indicating that the user has posted in that particular thread.

How does the icon identifying which treads I've posted in work?

The icon is usually automatically generated by the forum software and is based on the user's account information. When a user posts in a thread, the icon will appear next to the thread title, making it easier for the user to keep track of their activity on the forum.

Why is the icon identifying which treads I've posted in useful?

The icon is useful because it allows users to quickly see which threads they have participated in, making it easier to navigate the forum and keep track of their contributions. It also helps other users recognize which threads have active discussions and encourages them to join in.

Can I customize the icon identifying which treads I've posted in?

It depends on the forum software and its settings. Some forums may allow users to customize their own icons or choose from a set of options. However, most forums use a default icon that cannot be changed by individual users.

Is the icon identifying which treads I've posted in available on all forums?

No, not all forums have this feature. It depends on the forum software and its settings. However, it is a commonly used feature on many popular forums and discussion boards.
