Finding threads that have new messages

Like a lot of people I post suggestions in reply to new topics. I don't want to subscribe to every thread that I take part in, that would be a lot of emails coming to me! But I do want to go to My Posts and quickly see what threads have new messages.
The way My Posts works though is the threads are shown in posting date order, meaning I think the date that I last added a message myself. Very often a thread may be quiet for a while, or I'm following along and have nothing new to add. When a new message is added it can be several pages back in the My Posts list, making it very hard to see them.
One work around I use is to go to the second page of My Posts, and then change the range=10 to range=1000, which then shows the last 1000 posts. Next I look at the page source and do a search for "updated-16x16.gif", the graphic that sits next to any threads that have unread messages in them. If the first one it finds is at the bottom of the page source, I know there are no new messages. If it's found earlier, I can see the thread ID just below the one that is found.
Now, I suspect that there could be an easier way to work than this! Is there a built in way in the forum to see just the threads that have new messages, that I haven't discovered? Or could there be such a feature at some future date?

Hi, Colin -
Is there a built in way in the forum to see just the threads that have new messages, that I haven't discovered?
Unfortunately, no.
Or could there be such a feature at some future date?
That has been requested several times, and has been responded to by the Hosts that it is on the to-do list. When it might eventuate has not been specified.
What works for me - I habitually visit only about 15 forums; actually, it's 6 category pages, each of which includes between 1 and 5 forums. New replies to topics float those topics to the top of the listings on the lower part of the category pages. Since I visit those categories several times a day, I don't miss any new replies.
I do use the My Posts feature - I go there first, respond to any new replies shown on the first page, and then start travelling category pages. To make it easy I keep links to those 6 category pages in the toolbar favorites in my browser, so any one of them is but a single click away.

  • Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?

    Why can't the finder in Mountain Lion 10.8.2 find files that have successfully downloaded, or that other programs can find?
    This happens with maybe 1 out of 5 files. These are files that have either an ."aa" extention, or or are libraries that icloud can see, but finder can't.

    Files beginning with a period are invisible and library files are system files. Spotlight cannot find either unless configured to do so (btw, this is not a Finder issue but a Spotlight issue.)
    Get Spotlight to search system files (and more)
    Enter the search term in the Finder window's search field.
    Click the [+] button in the search bar to add a search option.
    In the first drop down menu choose Other.
    Choose “System Files” from the list that pops up (and check the box to place in drop down menu to avoid this step later,) click on the OK button.
    Now back in the Finder choose Include from the second drop down menu.

  • Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive

    Lightroom does not automatically find images that have been moved within same parent folder/drive...I moved my catalog and photos to shared drive so that all users can access and when I moved photos within parent folder lightroom did not automatically adjust like in video I watched.  I had to manually locate.  Is there a fix for this?

    I haven't watched that video, but if you move photos in your operating system ... Lightroom does NOT automatically find these photos. Finding photos that have been moved is NOT a feature of Lightroom. So, there is no fix for this.
    You would have to tell Lightroom where the photos are now located, as explained in the link from 99jon
    If you must move photos, move them inside of Lightroom, not in your operating system, or better yet — don't move them, and use Lightroom tools such as keywords and other metadata to achieve organization.

  • Where do I find emails that have been "archived"?

    How do I find emails that have been "archived"?

    That would depend somewhat on the email service you are using, but most have a folder called "Archive". Back up the mailbox list and then tap on teh account (not All Inboxes).

  • How to get Mail to separate 2 threads that have the same subject

    I'm using Mail to view my IMAP account (Gmail).
    "Organize by Thread" works, but it seems to be based only on subject, so old conversations started with the same subject as a new conversation show up together in the same thread.
    This is particularly annoying for messages with no subject - there are hundreds of them all in the same thread.
    Is there some way to tell Mail that a certain message is the start of a new thread?

    Separating threaded messages into multiple threads, or combining messages into one thread, is defined in IAB [Internet Activities Board] Official Protocol Standards Network Working Group RFC [Request for Comments] 2822, proposed as a change to standard STD 11. Basically, the "References:" message header would be used for this purpose, as it would contain the unique message id's of all the precursor messages. See RFC 2822 at http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2822.txt for specific information. The current STD 11 has no detailed definition of the contents of this header.
    Of course, email clients, including but not limited to Apple's 'Mail', must insert this optional header, properly populate it, and properly interpret it for threads to be defined in this way. However, it should be possible for the recipient's email client to insert and build or modify this header, with user guidance, so that conversational threads not originally identified can be documented or augmented. Valid arguments against changing existing headers should not really apply to the situation where the headers do not exist or where a reference is missing. These "Reference:" headers are in service to the users, not the network.
    As stated, this is a proposed use of an optional header, and rules are advisory rather than mandatory. but definition of multiple parent emails at any point in the conversation is strongly advised against. Logical rules for identifying the thread break down if the chain of precursors forks when looking backward.
    The above may explain Apple's mention of using headers to define threads, but the capability does not seem to have been implemented. How do we encourage Apple to move on this?

  • Finding Photos that have been saved as Tiff

    I've been using Blurb to make photo books, and love the results. One of the best things, is that it will read my iphoto library without me having to upload the photos to another website. Problem, is it will only read JPEG or PNG images in iphoto.
    It does read my RAW photos as long as I have not edited them, but when I edit the RAW, iphoto saves as 16-bit Tiff. Which I like for keeping the quality of my photos. But then I can't get them in my books. So I've gone back and forth (being the indecisive girl I am) and some RAW are then saved as JPEG, and others as TIFF.
    Now I'm trying to find which ones are TIFF. But I can't find anywhere that shows me what the new file type is after the edit has been done. I made a smart album of RAW, Edited but it will show me both the Tiff, and the Jpeg.
    Anyone know how to find out the file type of an image. I've looked under "Info" and it still lists as RAW.
    I noticed that the TIFF's have a file size of 0, so if there's a way to search for that criteria, that might help too.

    Thanks! For some reason, that won't actually find them. The filename is still .crw, at least what I can see. The search doesn't actually seem to search the "modified" file.
    I wound up actually just looking in the package contents of iphoto, trying to find all files that have a .tif extension and then going back to iphoto to find the matching picture. Not simple, but at least I can figure out which ones are the tiff.

  • Find thread that opened a session in AIX

    Hello.
    As stated in "Determining which Oracle database session is being used by a specific Siebel user session [ID 863771.1]":
    On the Oracle database side, you can query the V$SESSION table (make sure you are logged in as the tableowner) using the following WHERE clause format:
    WHERE PROCESS='XXXX:YYYY'
    XXXX = Server PID
    YYYY = Thread ID
    So querying v$session, sessions opened by windows clients have in the PROCESS column values like "12345:876", where 12345=process id and 876=thread id.
    Our application servers are installed in AIX, which is also multithreaded, but in the PROCESS column only process id is stored.
    Is there any way to find thread id?

    user11181920 wrote:
    I don't want to find any process info.I want to match siebel.S_SRM_TASK_HIST with v$session.
    I see.
    V$SESSION.PROCESS is does not look reliable source of Thread
    - I've connected to Oracle in Linux from Windows SQL*Developer - V$SESSION.PROCESS shows 1234, though in Windows the SQLDeveloper PID is 6896 and some thread has opened the connection.
    - I've connected to Oracle in Windows from same Windows SQL*Developer - V$SESSION.PROCESS shows 6896 but no thread.
    May be there is something in V$SESSION.MODULE, ACTION or CLIENT_INFO that may identify a client thread? (It is application who should populate these columns)
    Or you can use V$SESSION.LOGON_TIME and according col in SIEBEL.S_SRM_TASK_HIST.
    Also, if your Siebel uses LDAP, may be it uses it for proxy authentication?
    In this case you can look into v$session_connect_info to see actual user.
    There are some date columns in SIEBEL.S_SRM_TASK_HIST, but none of them match exactly V$SESSION.LOGON_TIME.
    I would have to start guessing between 2-3 sessions which one is the correct, since there are +500 conc. users, but perhaps this is the only way to do something, at least.
    I've seen v$session_connect_info, but it doesn't help.
    select a.*
    from v$session_connect_info a, v$session b

  • Finding images that have not been tagged?

    How can I search/find images in LR4 that have been imported though not tagged?
    Thanks.

    There should be a Smart Collection called "Without Keywords" in the Collections Pane of the Library Module. That will automatically contain what you are looking for.
    If that isn't there, click on All Photographs then use the Filter Bar>Metadata and filter on Keywords....the top entry (None) will be what you are looking for.

  • Finding images that have been 'protected' while in camera

    Hello, I was wondering if anybody knows how to find images that you protect while they're in your camera? I have a Canon 5D Mark II, and I can select images to 'lock' or 'protect' .. I use that to mark images that I believe are key images while on a shoot.
    With Photo Mechanic I can select 'tagged' images .. and those images I have marked in my camera will be selected.
    I've tried to figure out if its something I can find in exif .. and have had no luck.
    Please help!

  • Automatically finding folders that have been moved?

    (LR 1.3.1 on WinXP)
    I used to have My Pictures\yyyy-mm-dd-topic as my directory structure, and to aid in backups, added a new intermediate level diretory for the year, and moved all the folders for a given year into that year's folder. Using Explorer.
    The image folders are now one level lower although the folder names have not changed: My Pictures\yyyy\yyyy-mm-dd-topic. LR of course cannot find them which I expected.
    Is there a way to get LR to find the folders again, given a hint somehow?
    Adding a simple image at one of the new roots (My Pictures\2006\test.jpg) and importing that, did not result in the "2006-mm-dd-topic" subfolders being re-found.
    Thanks,
    Andy

    - Right-click the top-most level missing folder
    - Choose Locate Missing Folder
    - Navigate to the new location and select that folder
    - Click OK
    Lightroom will then go through the process of reconnecting to all the files and subfolders within that folder. Repeat for any remaining red folders not inside of that folder.

  • Why can't I find clips that have been disconnected? I know they aren't deleted, but have been moved. Searching the HD doesn't find them.

    I opened a FCE doc that I had worked in within the last week, and found half the clips in the projects were mysteriously disconnected. I assumed I had inadvertantly moved a folder, or renamed it, so I did a search on my HD for one of the disconnect clips to locate the file. No luck! Searched another. Nothing. I KNOW the files weren't deleted. Why don't they show up in a standard finder search? Help!

    I have always struggled with FCE's automatic generation of folder for certain files. I learned editing on Adobe Premiere and like the new file set up procedure better there. You choose your codec, your scratch discs, and all details associated with the project and decide where they all reside. Then (and here's the best part) it sticks with the project. You open a project from two years ago and it still remembers where captures go, renders, all of it. With FCE, you have to remember to go into System Settings and reset the scratch disks for the project, or it will use whatever was the last project's settings. Right?
    Anyway, related to this annoyance, I recently found the autosaves for this project randomly sitting in another project folder. I think I just deleted it, thinking they weren't important since I still had the original, and would be doing more work on it. Could this be at the root of my problem?
