Dot in envelope
Figuring out if I've posted in a thread is difficult for these old eyes. On other sites, the "envelope" on the left of the thread has a "dot" in it when you have ever posted in a thread. Why not use the dot here? It is simply a toggle switch in the Admin CP and would sure help the geezers like me.

I believe that vBulletin has a number of options for showing if a user has replied in a given thread. I'm on other forums that use vBulletin and most show a curved arrow that shows when I have posted something in a thread.
Guess it would be up to the Admins or IB staff to make a change like that. But increased visibility would be a help.

OK, so the moderators and administrators cannot or do not access the Admin Control Panel and can't click on the VB Options of this site. OK, will this request get passed on to the person or persons the do have the access and can make the decision for this site or did it just end here with "We can't do that stuff any more"?

I don't know who the administrator from IB is, but you can start with IBAnders.
Oh well....

Don't expect an immediate reply. It's Christmas Eve and the chances are that most IB tech staff are off (although some may be on call for tech problems). And IBAnders, Brains and the others are probably responsible for other forums besides this one.

It's not going anywhere. It'll be there if and when they get to it.
Thanks,
