The above three links allow a forum member to easily see what threads have had activity since the last time they viewed, which is great when they only commented in a few threads. The problem (for members like myself who have been here for over 2 years and comments in hundreds of threads) is that many of the discussions have gotten off-topic, are bumped with spam or trolling, and are basically not worth the time it takes to check and see if anyone responded to your inquiries or arguments.

I think there is a simple and agreeable solution to this.

Add another link.

This would show all threads (whether you commented in them or not) in which someone quoted your posts. Not only would this alert you immediately to responses, but it would also allow you to follow split threads and new topics where users are discussing your posts and/or using your quotes for their own arguments.

Despite the forum having millions of dollars of bitcoins under the guise of forum upgrades (which haven't happened in a year now), it seems that the only way to get the admin to do anything is to pay him money directly, so I'm willing to put up 1 BTC for this feature to be added. It will save everyone here an endless amount of time searching bumped threads and would encourage quoting of people's posts in responses.

Anyone else willing to pitch in for this bounty?

I do wish people would explain when making posts like this. It's very irritating, having to ask, what they are talking about. Most time, they just get iggied, in my mind they are trolling.
