Hello,

a) Is it possible to offer a 'vertical' thread navigation view. Right now its a horizontal pane (in the threaded-mode). The problem is that each time I do 'previous' or 'next' in the 'navigation tree' pane, I need to scroll down and read. If you offered a vertical split then I would not have to scroll at all - just keep hitting prev/next and peruse all threads. A formfactor nit for me

b) How do I view all my threads (I don't want to subscribe or anything - just click on a url that will take me to all the threads I participate in - something like the dpreview 'my threads' option - I may have missed it

thanks

I think one answer to your second question can be found in your Public Profile (your name beside each post.) When I click on it, I can see both links to threads you've responded to, and separately, threads you've started.

An easy way to get to that page is to click on your name in the Member List (at the top of each page.) I suppose you could bookmark that page.

Isn't it also possible to subscribe to a thread, and thus get e-mail notifications when there's a new post in it? Kinda messy, which is why I don't use it... but it would serve the same function.

Aha. Gotcha. I knew it must be there somewhere. Thanks.
And I agree, subscription is a horrific way for this purpose.
