Dunno about the others but it allready does this by putting a black circle in the picture next to the thread title if you have posted in that thread.

"have an easily accessible option to view the last posts you've made as threads can easily disappear due to the volume of them"

This one's pretty easy too. Just click on your username and click on "Find all posts by this user".

Mark, I believe he means send it will autosend an email if the thread has a new reply. Like "Watch this thread".
Some other forums do that.

I suggest making warning levels viewable again

They're still viewable!

Also, I believe in the "Thread tools" menu at the top of the thread you can subscribe to a thread. This will notify you by e-mail whenever someone responds to the thread.

Ah yes... that nice feature...


I hate that feature...

Really? I can't even find my warning levels, let alone someone elses. I may be overlooking something.

On another note, thanks for revealing what the subscribe to thread option does. I had no idea it even existed.

Oh, hang on a sec. I was going on the basis that I can still see them, which of course is understandable

I'll log out and check

You can view your warnings at http://www.halflife2.net/forums/Warn.php?&do=ViewMyWarnings (You can find this in the Quick Nav menu at the top of every page on the forum)

You don't have any though. You get automatically PMed and e-mailed if you get a warning.

Ah, so that's where they are. Makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

EDIT: It appears that the warnings are now publicly visible again.

It works for me.

have a way to notify users of replies to threds they have contributed to

Go to your user cp, click edit options, scroll down to where it says 'default subscription mode' and change the setting to one of the notification types. You'll now get automatically notified by email for any posts in any threads you post in from now on. For single threads do what Chris_D said.

have a forum for the best posts - eg hl storyline, instructions for console, modding help etc.

Sticky threads are used for this now, although they often are unstickied after some time. Might be a good idea, but it's Munro's call and he's lazy

have an easily accessible option to view the last posts you've made as threads can easily disappear due to the volume of them

By doing what I said at the notification thing you are subscribed to every thread you post in. If you subscribe to a thread it will appear in the list of subscribed threads in the User CP where you can easily click the new posts button for all those threads.
