What particular post it was for, and by whom.

I just think it'd be an interesting addition to the feature.

I found the link below to help solve this problem. It is a work around solution until Heather puts together a better way.

LDS Mormon Forums - Search Results

Well, forget that link for now. I was trying to use the linkback feature and it didn't work. Oh for the pains of learning.

OKAY LET'S TRY IT AGAIN. HERE IS A LINK TO HOW TO VIEW YOUR "THANKS" AND "THANKED" POSTS...

How to view thanks and thanked posts.

I admit to not reading...
If no one has suggested a (((Hug))) button, I'd like too, now.

If I could suggest a few things:
1.) Have an optional gender icon under your avatar.
2.) Have the option to put your religion under your Avatar, so people aren't just assuming a person is Latter Day Saint when they are not.
3.) Have a flag icon under your avatar, identifying your nationality.
4.) Perhaps have a "Hall of Shame" of sorts, like I've seen on other web forums. The purpose of such things it to briefly explain who was Banned from the site and why. "Hall of Shame" is probably not the best name for it, that's just what some other forum called it. The important reason for having such a thing is to answer the question, "Gee, _______ got banned! Why did they get banned? I never saw them do anything wrong!" This give the moderators and admins a chance to briefly explain what was what. Short and sweet, no long involved explanation.
5.) I think that it would be nice to have an entire section of the forum called "Suggestions to improve the forum" or something like that. Other forums sites I've been on had that, and while it didn't see a Ton of nonstop use, was nice for a couple of reasons. One, if you had a suggestion for improvement did come up, you knew where to put it. Two, it put it right out there, "We want your ideas to make this forum better for everyone." Kind of a nice feeling.

No way! I like to keep my bannings to myself.

Or else, the mods could just come up with a boilerplate that says: "Elphaba has been banned again. Enough said.

LOL, I think that particular idea is not terribly popular. The whole point behind having a "Suggestions" section would be to be able to get ideas. If it's a bad idea, then that's going to become obvious as it is discussed. If it is a good idea then the same would be true, right? If the rest of my ideas are good ones, then they might be implemented. If they're terrible ideas, then they won't.

Actually, if Heather agrees with this - she has the option of permitting members to use the Custom User Title - which would allow you to paste in a line or two of html code, images, and text.

Either that, or just add these items to your Forum Signature.

All my best,

How about being able to add to My Personal Beliefs on our pages like everything else on the pages? Otherwise, I will never figure it out.

How about the same group of Angels and heavenly Sister Wives as the heading, but with a fade to burgundy background rather than black - although for Halloween this same background with orange LDS.net lettering would be great!

Keep up the good work.
