Has it ever happened to you that you come across a discussion which you would like to respond to, but couldn't remember if you had given your comments before. And this discussion has already generated many responses-pages & pages of it. Then you need to waste time clicking on every page to see if you had responded before...
I think MYLOT should consider adding a feature that adds a little flag to notify the respondent if he/she has given a reply to the question before. And if they wish to add more comments, then it's the respondent's choice, but at least, they have been made aware.

Yes it happened to me and also to my friuends in my discussions. That's not a big problem but I agree with you that a little flag to notify can be helpfully, can be also a good help find easy your post in that discussion so you can answer again if therer are more posts.

I was thinking of the "discussions I've responded to" feature, but then the problem with that is that if you back up to go to that section and the topic is not there, by the time you try to return to put your response, the darn conversation has moved along somewhere and I can't find it even if I search for it! gifana had the same idea as me regarding a button to "take me to my response" only for a different use, I thought that this would be a good feature for those of us who like to check back for a response from the topic author in order to elaborate or ask questions.

I sometimes lose track of these things too. I like your suggestion of flagging the questions. The system of “recent” discussions can get confusing since all you need is a recent answer. The discussion could have been posted ages ago and you may not remember what you responded to.
