I only noticed there was a new format to this yesterday (although see below, the format is different depending on how you access the list), but there are two problems that I can see with it.

First, in the list of threads that I have posted in, the link doesn't take me to my post, it takes me to the start of the thread. Some of the threads I post in run to several hundred pages long in the default page-length setting - why doesn't the link take me directly to my post?

Second, in the list of threads I've started, it seems to list spam threads that I've reported. I've reported a few recently, but I certainly haven't started any, and I don't think I've posted in them either. I can't check whether I posted because of course the spam threads have generally been deleted. But I don't usually add a comment, I just click on "report".

I should add, this is if I go to "My Profile", then click on "My Stuff" on the right hand side of the screen, and then click "My Topics" when the selection opens up. The screen display is completely different if I just click "My Stuff" on the top right corner of the forum header stripe, for some reason.

Here's a screen shot - I did start the first thread, but I didn't start any of the spammy ones listed below.



If I access the list using the direct link in the header stripe, I don't get these spurious threads in "My Topics". I still note that links to "My Replies" go to the start of the thread, not my replies.

Hi droopsnoot,

Thanks for this.

I'm afraid the links to topics you have commented on have only ever been links to the the topics themselves (not your specific reply), as it is just showing you which topics you have joined. I believe you can go to where you have last left off on a topic on "Topics & Replies", but there has been issues for a while now surrounding the "Last Visit" option, so it may not work properly.

In regards to your second point, that is showing you the report of the thread you reported which will link straight into the mods forum - if you click it, you shouldn't be able to see anything as it's a restricted area! Unfortunately there's no way of getting rid of these from your posting history.

Hope that helps explain a little better!

Jack
