Create a link under your K-Lite Tools button for an overview of all topics that include post(s) of you.
This is a convenient way to quickly see all new posts in threads where you posted in.

-Go to the search engine of this forum (click here (http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?act=Search&f=))
-Type your member name into the text field under Filter by Member Name (optional)
-Select Search With Username alone.
-Select Search in forums >>All open forums
-Select Search posts from.. Any date
-Perform the search by clicking the Perform the search button :rolleyes:
-Copy the URL from your browsers address bar

Use this URL to create the link in the Tools menu
(Go to K-Lite's More Options to add this "tool" to your Tools menu)

You can also make it your K-Lite StartPage :)

Sorry guys, seems I was a bit too quick posting this tip...

I found out it only works for posts posted in threads that you already posted in before running the search.
When you do a post in a new thread after the search, your search URL needs to be updated. :unsure:
Otherwise the new posts just don't get listed :(
Must say I was a bit suspicious about that long complicated search URL...

If anyone knows a solution to this please let me know

EDIT:
I did some packet sniffing and came up with this URL:
http://www.klboard.ath.cx/bb/index.php?keywords=&namesearch=membername&exactname=1&joinname=0&cats=all&cat_forum=forum&forums=all&searchsubs=1&search_in=posts&result_type=topics&prune=0&prune_type=newer&sort_key=last_post&sort_order=desc

but that only brings me to the forum index page :( :blink: :(

click on the hyperlink of your name, above your avatar, and then do "find all posts by this member"

Thanks, but that's not exactly what I mean...
I like to see all the topics listed where I posted in.
That way I can easily check for reactions.
I can do it via that search form but that's a bit pesky...

ok, go to my controls>Email settings>Enable email notification by default

select this. then goto My Controls>View Topics

this will record all the posts you make, and log them, so you can reply/whatever.

It will email you if you are offline, and someone replies, but its easy to delete these emails, or set a filter up, and block any from this board.

Thanks again Vivitron for trying to help me out but what you suggest is still not what I am looking for...

I registered my forum account with my standard hotmail spam address to ensure my private email adress stays spam free.
Also I don't want to be noticed by email. Anyways, thank you for the response :)


EDIT: Reading your post again I might not have understood you correctly.
You say this will also log all my posts and reactions.
You mean on this forum? Then maybe it is something that is useful to me.
I will check it out B)

yeah, i know what you mean, it basically logs every post you make, and keeps the topics in MY Controls, for easy reference. You can delete them, when the conversation is finished, so you have a list of your "current" conversations.

And BTW: i also use a Hotmail Spam address :) great minds.......
