Yes I know about that feature, I don't think that's what he meant however. Unless they've updated that system so it takes you directly to your last post.
Before it use to just bring you to the first page of the thread.

Yeah I figured it was an old complaint, so I did a search and nothing came up. I imagine it would be a coding nightmare. I did the pseudocode for it, and it seemed doable. But real code is definitely a bit worse!

No problem. Sorry ToTheTenthPower, I thought thats what you meant. Unfortunatley the only way to remember your posts on a specific page is to get the PID#.
To get the PID number click the "THIS POST" At the very top of your posts after the post date and Single post buttons. Just remember that URL and save it somewhere. When you want to check it: put the url in and there you go...

yeah, that's the way to do it. But you'd have to safe that number or that URL in general, and then come back to it later once you wanted to check the replies.
Thanks for the help Myth, always a pleasure

Well that certainly does help in finding my posts. In turn it will help in finding the replies.
Honestly, if the IT guys wouldn't mind, I could help write the code that would allow for this idea to work. It would take forever, but time is on my side (unemployed Michigander).

It's not impossible to find all replies - it would require basically the same kind of MySQL and PHP commands&functions as to display all your posts.
But until that time you can still get the pages that contains replies to you:
Here is a Google search which returns all replies to you on thread 359427 (My name is Nick and I'm new here at ATS., page 1). The search term is made out of three parts:
site:abovetopsecret.com - only return results from ATS
"reply to post by obilesk" - return all pages with replies
inurl:thread359427 - get replies from a particular thread
complete search query:
Be sure to click on "repeat the search with the omitted results included".
If you leave out the inurl part, you get all replies ever made to you as such.
Have fun!

Yeah thats about the only way to really widdle it down. I wish we had a pre- coded engine though to speed things up and help non techie types.

You're right, I wasn't saying that the acutal "coding" would be difficult. I just don't think that ATS is set up in that average way that you can just add the SQL database and everything works perfect.
Not when we have ATS, BTS and now the ATSNEWS all rolled into one.
I dunno, perhaps SO has been working on it for years.

Exactly what I was thinking. Editing the database is really all it would take. Just a few Yes and Nos against a table or ten and it would work. It would have to be limited to a very few recent posts IMO, as the server space could get eaten alive and processing power and therefore cash would explode if it wasn't limited.
