The discussion revolves around how to display topics where a user has participated in the topics list, similar to how new topics are marked. skozz requests a visual indicator, like a blue or orange bullet, to show participation. wesochuck suggests checking the activity pane, but skozz clarifies the need for a topic list indicator. Mittineague notes the need to define ‘participation.’ riking confirms a built-in filter exists at https://meta.discourse.org/posted, which skozz confirms resolves the issue. Ivan_Rapekas asks why the ‘My Posts’ button only appears after applying the filter, and dax and david explain that administrators can add the ‘posted’ link to the top menu via site settings or custom scripts. Ivan_Rapekas thanks the contributors for the solution.
Yes, this is great, but my users are talking (to me) something like vBulletin works, using an icon to “flag” topics who you have participated in the topic list.
I think you need to better define what you mean by “participate” eg.
read the topic, posted in the topic, liked / invited / Flagged a post in the topic etc.
As it is now, “new” will be for topics in categories you are Watching but have not yet visited. “unread” will be for topics you have read that have since gotten replies you have not yet read.
Does anybody know, why I see My Posts button only after applying filter +https://forum.example.com/posted ?
Is there any way to enable it always on in the top panel?
