I dont think I've ever deleted a thread out of 'My Threads'... It pretty much goes on forever.. and I just dont have the desire to delete any of them.


Anyone else have this problem?

Absolutely - I went 3 years without being able to delete them because my computer would freeze every time I tried. Then i got firefox

Honestly, I don't really use mythreads

I am always really surprised to hear how little people use "my threads" its probably in my top two links for NS clicked on.

i didnt know what it was for the first couple years of my account use so when i finally learned what it was i have about a billion threads so it would freeze my computer. i pm'd a mod and they fixed it for me. but now i use it all the time.

I use it all the time. I never delete them either, I like to be able to reference old threads without having to search for them

If you'd like to use My Threads but it's so full that it freezes your computer here's what you do:

1. click My Threads
2. quickly paste "javascript:DelMyThread('');" into the address bar (without the quotes).
3. press enter
4. click "okay" before your computer freezes
5. celebrate because you can use My Threads

Me neither.

I may have tried to hop on the bandwagon once everyone began using it, but then I was too lazy to clear out the massive stock of old threads in there.

Oh well, no big deal.

I only use to to basically check the latest threads I've posted in.. if they're over a couple days, I dont even bother checking them, hence the infinity list.

So it's possible to keep them neat and tidy eh? Hmmmm, maybe I should put more effort into that.

for a long time i never deleted them. then i got sick of it and deleted them all, started over. now it never has more than 20 threads in it at a time, and when a thread gets deleted, i just remove it from the list. it definitely helps to keep it tidy, now i can check the threads that i want to keep tabs on a lot easier.

I always use it. When I'm mindlessly wondering what to think about I click on it. I have maybe 20 at most in there. I delete the really long and stupid ones like the "rate my name game", etc. But I click on chad's or robe and wizard hat every time they pop up, so they disappear from my list but if they die and get bumped later I will know about it.

It's always fun to be reminded of a post you made over a year ago because some noob bumps the thread.

I also use it to see if someone responds to a question in a thread. If I ask a question I look for that thread in my threads every time I see it until my question is answered.

Basically, it's a super-useful tool and I use it all the time.

you can see a few of the most recent ones by clicking the "My NS" tab button up at the top, and you can delete all of them too without freezing your computer

mine is very unkept... thats why i created a thread asking for it to be mad easy to delet in bulk rather than one at a time and 4 the page to reload..... but it never was accepted as a legit idea
