Post Response Indicator

lmort57

Hi there,

Loving the new Flarum Platform, however, I think it would be nice to have some kind of Response Indicator on Posts to show that one has already commented on a post, as there used to be with Lithium a little indicator to show you had commented.

It's all well and good that posts grey out when one has replied to them but then when someone else comments they go BOLD again and it becomes confusing to know what posts you may have already posted onto.

Hope this is something which can be implemented in due course!

lmort57 totally agree also name of original poster would be good

The default position is for the thread to ‘subscribe’ you to follow it when you post (unless you have disabled this feature in your profile settings).

This puts a star on the thread in forum list view to show you are following the discussion (which, in turn, indicates you might have already posted … unless you chose to follow a discussion without replying).

For individual posts, you will often see this at the bottom:

frenchielove, jeank, and jesi23 replied to this.

If you have replied, it changes to

frenchielove, jeank, jesi23, and You replied to this.

harrrrrry I suspect the OP means Thread rather than Post.

extreme_one I suspect the OP means Thread rather than Post.

But you can see a ‘star’ on the initiator’s avatar if you are ‘following’ a thread, which you are by default

when you post

unless you have changed your settings.

extreme_one

jesi23 That's for following a thread.

I certainly wouldn't follow every thread I'd replied to, but it would be useful to know which I'd replied to add which I hadn't.

jesi23

extreme_one I agree, but I tend to just cancel the ‘following’ after posting if I’m not interested in the subject; the likelihood of wanting to know I had posted is small in that case …

You only get a notification on a thread you are ‘following’ when the first person replies after you have left the thread, so clicking on the notification takes you to the first unread post in that thread. After you cancel the notification (either by visiting thread/post or clicking the ✔️at the top of notification list) you will get a single notification when someone else posts.

Hi All

not sure if this is the right section please tag move if incorrect. in lithium when we posted in a thread this would be indicated with an arrow how can we tell if we have posted in a thread in flarum?

lmort57

I asked the same thing a while back here.... https://community.giffgaff.com/d/33003000-post-response-indicator

I think you'll find that what is wanted here is something visible in the list of threads indicating those that we've commented on.
It's something I'm missing too.

guy_ow

blackfive460 ah you would indeed be correct (I did read it through a few times before posting, sorry about that).

I’m starting to get used to the new forum lay out ( as I knew I would in time).

The old format used to mark a thread with a black arrow, if you had commented on it.

I’m still unsure how this shows up on the new platform, if it does at all that is? Can anybody advise?

hdavey17 Hi there - I would love to advise you but I am yet to get used to the new setup! 🙁

natty88

hdavey17 if you click your name you can see all posts your replied to

If someone replies you'll get a notification shown top left hand side where you'll see 3lines and a tiny red dot click that and it will show all notifications you have the ones not read show highlighted in black

Yeah that is what i was thinking it would be great if it marks the thread with black arrow when you comment on a post.

hdavey17 I've just sent you over a PD about a possible merger to two other threads that are discussing this same issue. Can you respond when able - https://community.giffgaff.com/u/hdavey17/byobu

hdavey17 Hey, I raised the same thing here https://community.giffgaff.com/d/33003000-post-response-indicator a few days ago

frenchielove

hdavey17 yes, I really miss that too, would save trawling through every thread to see if you have previously replied

johna002

natty88 That works but its not easy at a glance in the list to see which threads you have responded to. Also, is there any plans to have a light bulb similar to the old system where you could easily see your kudos and best answers?

natty88

johna002 that's one we all hope will be introduced again it's not easy finding things now and unless poke around yourself there really ain't much help about sorry

johna002

natty88 Thanks. I cant be doing with hunting around looking for Kudos and best answers...lets hope giffgaff reintroduce something similar! 🙂
