not sure if this should be here or in the techies section as its a little unclear (or i'm stupid!) but this is particularly relevant for the Competitions forum,

when we press post_thanks.gif would it be possible to have the envelope icons on the forum (e.g thread.gif, thread_hot_new.gif ..etc) change colour, or have a symbol. This would make it easier to clearly see which comps have been entered via the main page, rather than having to open each thread individually and Checking Our Thanks.

I believe most active users click the post_thanks.gif to keep track what has & hasn't been entered, as per the Comping Guidelines, so I believe this would help us out a little more.

cheers! :cool:


or, as fermi suggested below, possibly a 25fm2at.gif button, although this would make the layout very button-happy.

if no icon change, possibly the threads themselves could be highlighted to again tell the difference from the main page, e.g:

    I subscribe to the thread of each comp I enter, then a little blue tick shows up next to it so I know I've entered it and don't open the thread again, hth xx

    ive tried this myself, but found it very time consuming, so soon gave up. the thanks button is instant.

    Maybe there should be a way of tracking which comps you have entered that is independent of the "thanks" button?

    A 25fm2at.gif button or something similar, and as suggested here, something to show you have clicked it for that thread ?

    Good idea, I also subscribe to each comp I enter which makes it easier. But it is time consuming.
    Also a remove thanks button would be great :D
