Support Guide or Feature Request: Searching for your own Open threads

[sjbs]

I have been attempting to find my own open threads with a single click, but so far it has evaded me.

Currently, it entails:
- clicking on your account on the top right
- clicking on the "your threads"
- scrolling through the list of all your threads ever created. (I think it is sorted according to "Original Creation Date", but it is definitely not according to "Last Updated")

I have quite a number of closed threads, and as the open and closed threads look quite similar it takes me quite a while to find the open and active ones and also identifying the ones that should be closed - with sometimes even missing a couple.

May I request a feature or guide (how to):
- Only listing my current open threads
- Sorting it by default according to last updated. That way only the latest ones will appear on the top. [Preferred Option]
- Changing the colour of closed threads' titles and making them dim.

Bonus Feature:
Finding closed sale threads where the I-trader wasn't completed.
Suggestion - Closed thread with I-trader completed from my side's title is greyed out, while a closed thread with an outstanding Itrader from my side remains not greyed out, but a different colour to open threads.

As of right now you will need to go to your profile
- click on the "find" drop down
-Find all threads by ****

In that list it will show you each of the threads you have created.
The ones with a strike through are closed threads.

I am sure the admins will keep in mind your Bonus features and have a look at the next iteration of the forums.

Thanks, that is how I've been doing it.

But as the closed ones and the open/active ones are both in the same font size and colour, it makes it easier to miss, in particular due to the current default sorting method applied.

Not a fatal flaw - just a nice to have if it could somehow be fixed. The previous board sorted according to "last updated" by default if my memory is correct.

- I think the distinction between closed threads and open threads is great enough

Hi there, just some feedback.

It appears as if the system is already configured to do (unless you have made some changes, in which case thanks!):
Sorting it by default according to last updated. That way only the latest ones will appear on the top. [Preferred Option]

The problem was that the system provides 2 options for listing your own threads, with one working by sorting according to the "last update" and the other just produce the results in order of "creation date":

Using the stationary ribbon (the one below the Carbonite Banner)
Forums>Find Threads>Find Your Threads
Will produce the results, perfectly sorted according to the last updated date.

However, if you use the following option (used to be my normal way of finding my threads)
Click on your username in the top right of the page
and then selecting "Your Threads"
but the results will be sorted according to the dates when the threads were created.

Have not changed anything yet, however those two pages/methods cannot sort differently because it's simply two buttons that calls the same function.

See screen dump of the two type of searches next to each other:

LEFT: Using the stationary ribbon (the one below the Carbonite Banner)
Forums>Find Threads>Find Your Threads
Will produce the results, perfectly sorted according to the last updated date.

RIGHT: Click on your username in the top right of the page
and then selecting "Your Threads"
but the results will be sorted according to the dates when the threads were created.

Ah okay I see what you mean I thought you were talking about in your account under find > your threads and
click on your username in the top right of the page and then selecting "Your Threads"

Will have a look at it later then
