Do You Go Back and Look at Your Old Posts

[Kristen Kelly]

For you members that have been here awhile, do you go back and read your old posts. I just spent an hour reading a few of my old posts, and amazed myself how much I have changed in just a short time. My favorites were how I told my gf and the diary of posts I kept during that time.

Yeah I do.
But it's mostly "did I really say that?" or "how can someone that old be such an asshole" but there is of course the occasional gem.

This brings up a question I have. Is there any way to know if someone has commented on something you previously posted without having to go back and find the old threads?

And when does a thread get closed?

Yes there is, sort of. You can be automatically informed when someone else posts an entry in any thread you've posted to, but it will cover all entries in that thread whether they are commenting on what you said or what someone else said. There isn't an option to only be informed is someone is replying specifically to you, the notification will be for all replies in that thread, no matter who each person is replying to.

Open the User CP, just above the Post Reply button in the top left. From there, open Edit Options in the menu on the left. In the Messaging & Notification Window in the middle of the screen will be a drop down menu for Default Thread Subscription Mode. From that drop down menu you can select how you want to be notified every time someone posts in a thread you have already posted in.

When the box of threads starts overflowing and making a mess on the floor. Here's an insider's tip on how it works. All threads are stored in a big cardboard box. When the box fills up and the threads start spilling out and falling on the floor, one of the admins closes off a bunch of older threads, stomps up and down on the ones still in the box to make more room in the box, then puts all the spilled threads back into the box on the top. If the admin doing the stomping is a FtM then they wear big hiking boots. If it's a MtF admin they wear thigh high boots with spike heels for stomping, and that gets nasty. The older threads end up with a bunch of holes in them from those heels. Would I lie about something as serious as this? :tongueout

Kind of......how old is "old posts"? I do tend to go back several days to see if anyone has posted a follow up that includes a quote from me or is asking a question to me about something I posted in someone else's thread. But if you mean just to read my old posts from a nostalgic point of view...no, hardly ever. I think I've only ever done it once in the last year.

I'm doing just that, this evening. Rarely does anyone post after I do. I don't really know why that is. :o

[Barb Valentine]

I go back once in a while
And some times I can't believe that
Wrote and said some of those thing
But it does show how we've grown

[CutieJulie]

yes i do mostly to see if anyone else made any comments i didn't see.

I don't, life is forward, and so am I...BJ

Thank you. I believe you. Sounds perfectly reasonable to me :heehee:

No... Past is past. We change daily and are never going to remain the people we once were. Better to look ahead than dwell on what's been left behind...

Kristen,
yup especially if I remember something I posted that may help somebody else. Your memory tends to go a bit as you age as I am finding out :OMG::tongueout :tongueout :D :D.

But I must admit it weird going back and thinking did I really feel that way then --------- somedays it seems that I have been in this life forever.

Threads are closed after 3 months or so, and we don't have to stomp them back into the box because we're much to neat and organized.

Still nope...BJ
