Is the what's new my stuff working?

Eaxample: I posted to East Midlands Mid Week Tyre kick at 21.07 yesterday, and other people have posted subsequenly, but I can't see it on what's new my stuff....or am I just going (more) daft?

..and I've just posted to Real Good Number Plates, and it doesn't appear.

(but I have noticed that deleted posts & threads are now being captured)

I'd set it up to exclude listing threads to which you've replied which you started in the first place. I've changed that now.

The new profile looks good!

Now: if say threads I've replied to/started was in the date sequence of anybodies last reply (rather than the date of one's first reply/post)that'd be really helpful!

(Pretty much where we were with "my stuff".)

Yep, someone else raised this query. I did give it some thought when designing it and decided that the profile is showing what that person has contributed to a thread and when. The fact that someone else has contributed since is of less relavance and would be potentially confusing.

Basically it could be done either way and there are arguments for both. I figured the way I've done it makes more sense in that context.

However, explain what it is that you're trying to find out when looking at someone's profile that the current solution doesn't deliver and I'll see what I can do.

I agree with your comments re thread order on the profile.

I was just trying to "work round" the problem with what's new/my stuff.

By looking at your own profile you could see who's been contributing to your threads at a glance. (i.e. as what's new/my stuff used to work)

So, if for example you posted a thread two months ago, and somebody posted this month, you would be aware of it. Under the current my stuff system you wouldn't know, unless you'd posted a reply to that thread this month. (unless you kept scrolling back through the months of course)

I hope that makes sense.

Ok, I understand now. When I redo the mystuff I'll ensure it works as you describe.
