Where did it go? You know the dot that tells you that you have replied to a thread.

Was it removed for database speed improvements?

Yes. I didn't think anybody used it :)

It can be brought back if its useful.

haha, I use it all the time to keep track of the threads I have "contributed" to. I can live without it, but it is a nice to have IMO.

haha, I am too lazy to do that.

I "view new posts" and then look for black dots. So if no one has replied to the thread since you replied, it doesn't appear in the list and thus you are up to date.

As I said, if the db performance is better without it, it can be removed.

That's a very useful feature, almost as useful as the quick jump dropdown box that you guys took out. :D

Gonna do some testing and will likely make the blackdot go away during high server load if there is a significant impact. :thumbsup:

NO!!!!! Keep it!

...Does it really make the site that much slower having it present?
