How about a symbol for "Tracked"

Apr 21, 2005 5:52PM PDT

Another thing that would be nice is, if there was some sort of symbol or notation to see if a particular discussion is being tracked for me.

I know I could go to the page to see all the various discussion in "My Track" but that is not what I mean.

I know I can open a discussion thread, to read it, and see the "Tracked" button there, for that one discussion, but that is not what I mean, either.

I am talking about, when looking down a list of Discussions, seeing the Title, Created, Last Post, and Posts columns, to also have some sort of symbol there (like maybe a "check mark") to let me know that it is on my Track list. The area that the symbol could show up is exactly where the current "locked" symbol now show up, for those discussions that are locked.

The thinking here is that if a discussion is locked, I would have no need for a "Tracked" checkmark. So the "lock" or "tracked" or nothing may appear in that space.
