Is there a way to find out which comments you've been given stars for?

I've searched through tools and my ats and can't seem to find anything. It might also be cool to know who is flagging/starring you, especially to check out their threads.

I know there are certain members who have gotten several stars each from me!

The answer, I believe, is no. Stars are a nice acknowlegement, but as for who gives them out?

Perhaps it'd be better for some if no-one knew.

I get that, but what about knowing which comments got stars?

Nope.

Unless there's an aspect to ATS that I am unaware of.

I.ve often been puzzled by this, and the only recourse has been to look again at my own recent posts.
That doesn't always work, because other members dig up older threads as well.

I just happened to be re-reading an old subscribed thread from 2 years ago and was suprised by some of my own comments that garnered stars.

I revisit threads that have strong debate topics.
But with my ADHD ( ) I usually express my opinion and bolt.

I'm not sure I understand this particular question, but if I do, the stars appear right above the comments, though not in this thread or forum, where the stars are disabled. But look in another thread and you can see the stars for each comment.

I think OP was talking about the situation of seeing a set of new stars on his profile total, and being curious to know which comment prompted them.

INDEED.

I love ATS.

However, the software is soooooo clunky in several respects.

www.freerepublic.com...

has wonderful simple basic software that affords a lot of user friendly facility.

--one can ping interested parties to a post or thread.
--one gets a list in the comments section of recent posts addressed to one's itnerest from requesting to be on various 'ping' lists.

--it's easy to look up

--posts by an individual
--posts by a topic
--a list of one's own posts.

--ALL REPLIES TO ONE'S POSTS ARE LISTED ON ONE'S COMMENTS PAGE.

There's no star system but if there were, I'm sure there would be a list of posts that got stars.

I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND with all the advertising wealth why it is so difficult to impossible to implement such features on ATS. Frustrating.

I think you just have to go back to your old posts and view them. What I would like to know is how to find out if someone has added you to their friend or list. That would be a nice warm fuzzy to acknowledge. Like on some sites, it lists how many "friends" a member has, and one more click shows all the friends handles/names.

The least they could do is display the stars when viewing "thread posts" for a particular account but with the add-a-star button disabled in that context (obviously [and obviously disabled currently] to prevent convenient visiting of starmageddon/star-wellfare upon a particular poster).

This feature exists, but is not easy to find.
Go to your Profile. Down the left-hand side is a list of the people you have made your friends. Then click on "Friends" at the top of the page. The names going down the left are now the names of people who have made you their friend.

Um... any mods about? any way to see which comments got stars without sifting through every old post? I thought B&B questions were designed to go right to you...
