Been meaning to ask this for years but thinking about it annoys me so much I have to go and have a lie down. 🙂

Please fix the Profile...Forum...Replies Created section of the website so it:

Only shows one row for each of the threads you have replied to.

And [ if you can be bothered] fix it so it shows the count of replies after my last post, not the full number of replies to the OP.

Currently it's absurdly infuriating if I want to find a topic I have replied to as it shows one row per reply, rather than one row per topic, which is insane.
Then to cap it all every row for each topic shows exactly the same value for "This topic has * more replies"

This means I have to scroll through dozens of rows to try to find previous posts, and usually hit the max limit long before I have found what I need.

Many thanks

Those take you to the actual post/reply. Your way means you’d have to scroll though the whole thread looking for that post. Either way, you are scrolling. Might be easier to use the forum (Google) search.

That makes no sense at all. I'm not interested in my post specifically I'm interested in the thread I posted on.
And even if I was interested in my post there is absolutely no way for me to work out which of my myriad indexed posts is the one I want without clicking through to every one after the other.

Especially as every single one has "This topic has 49 more replies" when it patently obviously doesn't.

Then surely that page would be called "threads replied to" rather than "replies created". A list of "replies created" is exactly what you get from the current functionality.

OK
Devs]Please oh please can you get rid of the flakey Replies Created functionality and replace it with a Topics Replied To functionality

🙂

What you describe is exactly how it used to be back in about 2015 before someone had the wise idea to change/break all forum functionality. It was much better.
