A while back T0PS3O tried to answer a similar question. I either did not fully understand his answer, or failed to make the exact question clear enough. Please, let me try again: Main point: Let's assume you make a contribution to a thread on page 2-3. For any reason, you are not able to keep up with (get back to) a fast moving thread which is now on page 15 (for example). Interaction with others is one of the very best things about a community. Somewhere on page '4-14', another member might have commented, asked a question, or 'smiled at' your contribution on page 2-3. Is there a very fast, easy way to check (for that direct interaction) without needing to read or scan all 12 new pages? Important Secondary Info: I'm not suggesting, or debating, whether DP needs this 'Important Secondary Info', it will help clarify the usability question. On some forums (heavily modified) there is no general 'post reply button'. The end user either 'replies to' the person who started the thread (quoting the text is optional), or they reply 'directly' to the post of another member. This 'click' creates a 'data trail' which is used for a 'self-search' function. Now the end user can instantly (or three months later), very easily see every time someone else interacts with them. Summary: Is there a very fast, easy way (at DP) to check, at any future time (for that direct interaction), without needing to read or scan all 12 new pages, of a very fast moving thread?
