Have you ever answered a discussion and then went back later to see if anyone said anything to your response? It's so aggravating and so hard to find when there's a lot of responses..Do you think mylot should add a button so that when you go back to that discussion, it would have a little button that reads "go to your response"? what do you think?

wow what a great idea, the discussions ive responded to tab throws up so many it would be much better if you could specify what you8 want, i agree. However, if you always tag your responses adequately, a quick search should take you to what you want

my problem is that it usually takes away from the time i want to get on to other discussions...and i've had quite a hard time in the past...i've found tags do help, but not always...thanks for the input!

That would be a great feature, if i may add another one, i think mylot should also consider having an alert system for response. So that every time a user responded to our discussion we could be alerted.

actually they do have that feature...go in and edit your preferences, and you can opt to get an email every time someone responds to your discussion...when i get one, i have my little box that pops up at the bottom of my screen...that's how i knew right away about your answer to this discussion...let me know how that works. Thanks for your response

That was good idea but I think might not easy to develop on it friend. The best idea is from old mylot when you response and someone comment on your response you will get notification email. I hope mylot bring that feature back so we can have real discuss in here and not just response.

Yes I agree sometimes I want to know if someone reply to my response and then I have to surf around till i find my response, that´s a good idea.

yes this idea might probably work. but mylot won't spend time on these types of things rather spend more time looking for ways to decrease the amount of money we make.

actually, they will...i've noticed several improvements since joining, and they don't all have to do with money.

Yes! That is an amazingly astude observation, indeed. We would all benefit greatly if Mylot would add such a button. I know that i too dislike having to scroll through 10 pages of posts trying to find a reply that i left to see if a person responded to me or not. I was just doing that yesterday and thinking how frustrating it was to have to search through that many pages to find my comment. Not having this button also discourages users from really talking to each other and carrying on true discussions here at Mylot. It would help so much if we had this button, and also if we could receive email notifications when someone replies to a response of ours! ^_^

I agree; I actually wanted to suggest that myself, but never had the time or whatever to. Thanks for doing it. I hope myLot will listen to this request because it will be VERY useful.

EXCELLENT IDEA!!
I have thought about this for ages, and was wondering how to word an e-mail to send to the Admin at mylot.com
It is so frustrating sometimes when you want to see if anyone has added anything to your bit!

Well done samsonskola. Its interesting how we observe the ways in which things or processes can be improved, and we just keep on accepting the way they are.
It takes someone with your initiative to actually try and do something about it. I don't know how many times I have thought this very thing (even though I am a newbie) and then not done anything about it.

I agree right now whatI do is to bookmark the web pages where I postd my responses and check back frequently before deleting the links after about 3 days or so. Such a feature would be a great and useful improvement, or myLot could at least prvide a feature for us to mark favourite topics where we had made responses to.

I'd love to see something like that. I'd also would like to see them add in where if someone does respond with a comment you get an email. That would make it a lot easier to know if you should check or not. I know I've gone back to look and not see any responses, which wastes a lot of time especially if I have to dig through and try to remember where my post was at. I think if we had both of these more people would add in comments and really get some of the discussions going further.

I agree as well, maybe if under the discussions feature, they had an option to view our own responses, not just discussions we're responded too, that would be great.

I completely agree. I am tired of sifting through pages and pages to find my posts(replies to discussions). It is really a waste of time. While you are at it, have them improve the search function. I can never find anything I want. It is the worse search system I have ever encountered Even worse than Amazon.

I agree with you. I'm always sifting through the pages trying to find my post, and it gets frustrating when there's like 10 pages. Sometimes it takes up a lot of my time, and sometimes I'd rather not go through the entire hassle because it's just time consuming. I think you should let the mylot admin know if your idea, and maybe they'll make one for us.
