First tracked thread

Avatar of kco

  Tell us what was your first tracked thread and what made you interested in it ?
Well my first thread tracked was AnthonyCG's  "Photogenic Memory In Chess?", yes others has made some light jokes on Anthony's spelling, it should have spelt 'photographic'. I was interested in this subject because of memory, how one can improved your memories. There are many ways of doing it in which can be very benefit for your brain. I didn't get the chance to have a say in there as I was abit shy at the time when I joined up with the chess.com. Plus I have got 40 pages tracked threads !

My latest: kco's "First tracked thread" :D

Well, I set out to try to find out, but I got to page 55 (and that was only 3 months ago) before I gave up.  Do they have a "LAST" button somewhere on the thing?


Tip: Try http://www.chess.com/forum/my_posted_in_topics.html?page=100 and then page=200 and so on till you find the last page.

 55 pages  and still going !? no I don't think we have 'last page' button that would have been good to have maybe see the staff about this one.

check the url -- the www.blahblahblah thing, near the end does it say something like =1 or =10 etc.  If so that's probably the page number, try deleting that and put a 60, 70, 80 etc to skip to that page, once it doesn't let you, you know that number's too big and you're close to figuring it out, then go 1 by 1 etc.

I never messed with thread tracking myself, just comment on what I see, shrug*

orangehonda but you know is under 'Forums' drop down, click on 'Topics I am Tracking' ?

I've never tracked anything either. I either see it under topics I have posted in, most recent posts, or I remember (hopefully) what the name of the topic I was interested in but haven't posted in yet.

I didn't know that -- I guess if I was on a lot of different areas it would be useful but I only go to 2 or 3.  I just now checked my tracking thing and it's empty.

On my profile or something I somehow started tracking another user I think (is that possible?) and I don't even recognize them... so far I've just ignored it heh.

 Yes that is possible especially when accepting friends is automatically keep of them for you. Also you can organised it. See here: 

Manage your alert & email settings...

Also you can do this: see below

Thanks kco, following the link you gave I was able to remove them from tracking.  They weren't a friend or anything, and I never did recognize 'em.  I'm sure I just clicked something accidentally back when I first came on this site.

Yeah the funny caption, wish they keep that going.

Oooh, I remember vaguely my first thread that I enjoyed...but I don't know if I tracked it.  Lemme go see.  Funny thread topic, btw.

When you're looking at an individual thread, there is a Last Post link, but for lists of threads, there isn't.

There is a quick way to get to page 100 (or any specific page under 101, for that matter). However, since the 100-page limit was introduced, it has become tricky to reach the oldest threads.
