I have raised this issue in the past.

When I first came here, I was coming from another forum that had indicators up front, that were easy to see that let you know if....

1. You had visited the thread to view and read...
2. If you have posted a response.

It made browsing the forum much easier. I find the same issues to be a problem here. I can remember certain threads because of the unique song title or the PG fourm user , but to be honest, the majority of the threads, I don't recall if I read them or posted a response. So now..... due to how this all works, I have to pop in to the top, listen, and then scroll down to see if I posted. Sometimes I have to go through 4 pages or so before I find out that, no I haven't posted a response or why lookie there, yes I did post a response.

Another peeve.... If I have NEVER visited a post.... it would be really nice if the forum software took me to the OP to start and not randomly drop me in the middle of page 2 halfway down......I mean ... what's up with THAT? AND.... if I have visited a thread.... take me directly to the post last viewed so I don't have to search for where I left off..... so frustrating at times.

You can make excuses or you can make progress but not both.
