View Full Version : ToTV - "Participated" Option

I use Tapatalk for ToTV (iPad/iPhone) most of the time. (Highly recommended.) It has features I really like...including a "participated" feature, where you can look at threads that you have participated in. It's much like "subscribed", but includes any threads you've posted in whether or not you've subscribed.
Anybody happen to know if this feature is available on the regular (browser) version of ToTV? If it is, I've yet to find it. :)

Thanks. Nice feature. (I like the threads-started-by-me feature too.) But it's not exactly what I'm looking for.
In Tapatalk, you simply select a menu item called "Participated". It then lists all the threads you posted in, not your individual posts. Threads with most recent posts are listed first and a star appears by the threads that have unread posts. Very nice.

I've always avoided using tapatalk
Now I'm intrigued
Thanks for the info

Tapatalk is a free app that you can use on Apple/ios devices, android, and even has a nice Windows 8.1 version.
It's a smoother, cleaner way to view TOTV and other forums that use this discussion board software.
I use it 90% of the time and use IE/Firefox browser the other 10% for the things tapatalk doesn't do well.

Click on Quick Links (top right) and then click on Subscribed Threads. These are all of the threads that you posted to.
Since I occasionally clean the section up, I do not know how far back the threads go.

Thanks, Z. But again, that only lists "subscribed" threads, not all the threads you've posted to. Big difference.

One of the best features is that, if you frequent more than one forum, it allows you to partake in all of them from one centralized app.

The answer is simple, if you have windows 8.1 install tapatalk (Tapatalk app for Windows in the Windows Store (http://apps.microsoft.com/windows/en-us/app/tapatalk/0ea0706f-33ea-4842-8706-77e89cecda16)) which I did not know, thank you previous poster, or get yourself a nice tablet. Desktop computers are almost obsolete and traditional laptops are going out of style fast.

That's all well and good. But the original question was simply whether or not the "Participated" feature was hidden somewhere in the standard browser-based TOTV. I'm feeling at this point like the answer is 'no'...heheh. But that's okay. I have my iPad/iPhone.
And with all due respect, and at the risk of sidetracking this thread, I beg to differ that "desktop computers are almost obsolete". Their place in the technology world has been greatly reduced in the world of pads, phones, etc. But the word 'obsolete' is a very strong one. I do not believe it will apply to PC's for a very long time. (New thread possibly?!? [emoji1] )

Think if you put you search your user name, it pulls up all threads you posted in.

Yes The Answer Is NO! But I guess villagers are too nice to use that word ;)

In my case it is all of the threads that I have posted to because I do not subscribe to any threads.
Which is why I delete all of the threads in there that I do not care about.

Hey Z, I'm not trying to cause any trouble here. Honest!! :wave: But I'm a geek and I'll admit I'm a bit intrigued here. Can I ask you to check on something. If you click on "Quick Links", but this time select "Edit Options", you should see an option about half way down called "Default Thread Subscription Mode". If that is any value but "Do not subscribe", you will automatically be subscribing to every thread you post to. Could that be what's happening? :confused: :popcorn:

After thinking about it, I did an Edit Options. In the Default Thread Subscription Mode section, I have No Email Notification checked. That automatically subscribes me to all threads that I post to. If you change that option, you will see all of the threads also.
That will solve your Participated Option.

Well...kinda/sorta. Except that I don't want to subscribe to every thread I post on, even without email notification. I save "Subscribed" for a very limited number of threads...ones I definitely want to stay abreast of whenever there are new posts. Most threads I participate in do not have that level of importance for me. It's just nice during casual browsing to see which threads I've posted in have new posts. That's what Tapatalk offers that the standard browser version of ToTV does not.
The option you describe is a good one to know about though. Thanks again! :smiley:
Have I sufficiently beat this topic to death yet??!!?? :o
