    Am I the only one who spends time clicking their recent posts on the "All posts made by you" page, in order to check on up and down votes received?

    I was just thinking that it would save me a bit of time, and Pinside probably a bit of server load, if the counts were already on that page.

    Multiplied by the times however many other users do it, the server load reduction could be significant!

    Huh? What is the point of up/down votes if you don't keep a tally? If no one cares, why is it there?

    What I'm proposing is being able to see the ups and downs on that page, without having to click on each post to see it in the thread, which is the only way you can see the votes at present.

    So I'm the only one who checks their up/down votes received in this fashion? I doubt it.

    Robin could add background code that could see how much grinding is going on, users quickly going back and forth between the All Posts By Me page and each post, to see if it would save appreciable server time.

    But I already know it would save me time! Seems like a win-win to me.

    Quoted from Mr68:

    I don't think this is exactly what you're looking for but here's a screenshot of your profile under Forum Activity. It also shows that you're an underachiever for getting moderated.

    Right, that page is overall totals. And I have no time for games like some, trying to see what they can get away with all the time. (I don't mean you, Kim!) The few times I have been moderated were [comment withheld to avoid moderation over criticizing moderators].

    I just want to have each individual post's up/down/net added to the "All posts made by you" page. I don't post super often, and when I do I try to take pride in the composition, as well as inject my sense of humor in most cases, and I'd like to see if anyone "got it" (i.e. upvoted) without having to load up each thread.

    It'd make for less work for me, and less work for the server, which has to spit out up to 50 posts with scores to show me the one I was interested in, mine, times however many posts I check on.

    Where is @Robin? He'd get it.
