Is there any way of setting up TFL so that you could log in (or set a cookie) that would highlight all the threads that you have posted to? Sometimes I foget where I've been participating.

Anything ‘published’ on the web is viewed as intellectual property and, regardless of whether it displays a copyright symbol or not, is therefore copyrighted by the originator. The only exception to this is if there is a “free and unrestricted reuse” statement associated with the work.
In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:
1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.
2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).
3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).
4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”
5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.
Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.
Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Bullwinkle,
You think *you* got it tough? Wait 'till your MY age!
Why I remember a time some forty years ago that I and the preacher's daughter ... um,
What was the question again?
OH! How to remember where you spoke!
About the only way *I* can remember is to ask my wife. She uses the search feature (up at the top of each thread) to find every post I made in that forum. She even selects the time period she wants so I don't have to wait so long (or I'd fergit what I wanted to say, ya know!).
Gotta search on each forum, tho. So she writes down which forums I done spoke in.
Maybe some young computer whiz-bang has a better way.
((My wife's pretty good at it, tho!! Preacher's daughter wasn't all that good lookin' anyways....

Only thing I got shorter than my memory is my,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,gun fund
Bull,
Just set a unique phrase or a deliberate misspelling in either your post or your sig. That way you can use the search function to find the threads in the particular forum(s).
And all this time you folks though I were just a bad speller

To find all your previous threads:
1) Leave “Search words” blank.
2) You must search each forum individually, (eg General Discussion Forum)
3) Search in “Subject only” (to reduce search time)
4) Search date should be “yesterday” or “5 days ago” (to reduce search time)
5) Search on your own User Name (exact name)
And, for the searched forum, you quickly see a list of every thread in which you posted.
Y’all correct me if there’s a quicker, shorter way, ok?

That all seems like alot of work. If the thing can figure out when the last time I was here and put up a red or yellow folder or a bullseye or bullet hole it ought to be able to figure out which threads I've posted to and turn those blue. Or maybe be there could be another button like the "active thread" one that you punch, it asks you to log in then spools up everything within some time frame.
