A link for "view your recent posts".

Yeah sure it's a "TechIMO" thing. But I'm the one that thought of it and suggested it there. Now I'm suggesting it here. ;)

Out I have mixed feeling about the recent post view. It's nice to see the new post as they come up,but also so many post get answers quick and the problem may not get corrected by the time it drops off the recent post and it seems that alot of people don't look through the threads as much with that and the post gets forgotten and would have to be bumped to get it to the top again. Maybe it could be an option to turn on and off in user profile

It's not a recent post link, it's a your recent posts link. The main purpose of it, for me anyways, it to make sure I catch all the replies made to any post I have contributed to. It makes it so I don't forget about any threads I've posted to.

Plus it doesn't just list your recent posts, it should give you a listing of all your posts in order of most recent first.

It's been very helpful to me over at TechIMO. I have caught numerous post of mine that I didn't know people have replied to. They would've gone unnoticed to me otherwise.

I second that motion. I really like the "view your recent posts" feature and use it every day.

Thanks Out :) I even submitted it to Vbulletin's Template hacks as I had to figure out where to code it in as I ran multiple searches for "recent posts, user's posts, ect ect" and they didnt list one so then I started snooping around in all the code and finally found where the original "view new posts" was coded in and modified it to also include the "user's recent posts" :)

Are you logged in for the front-end of the site? Keep in mind that the front-end (Nuke) and the forums (VBulletin) run on two seperate database...
