This website is constantly making improvements to itself and I thought I'd chip in with my own suggestion.
For people that have been on the site for a while now a lot of us have probably answered A LOT of threads. As it stands now there are only three ways to sort answers to a topic (newest, oldest, votes). I think it would be nice to implement a feature that would allow you to filter the responses in a way to show your answer to a thread if you've made one.
Some threads have over a hundred responses, and it would be nice to have a quick feature in place to be able to determine if you've already responded to that topic, and if you have then to provide the convenience of being able to go directly to your response instead of having to sift through.
Edit: SPC Matthew Farnsworth had an excellent idea that he posted below. That being to allow users to set which filter setting they'd like the default to be. Some people like to view the highest rated comments first, some like to read the newest responses. Allowing users to set their preferred option as a settings choice would be fantastic aid to convenience.

Hello, RallyPoint engineer here.
Thanks for offering the idea!
I'm hearing that you want two things:
1. Know right away if you have responses in a given thread.
2. Jump to the portion(s) of the thread you've participated in
Are these accurate? I want to make sure I understand your goals before thinking about solutions.

You nailed it Mr. Behrens! I think those features would be fantastic additions to facilitate convenience, though I do understand that often times things that seem outwardly simple can be a significant pain to code and implement. I just created this thread to offer the idea! Thank you for taking the time to respond and consider this request.

Also if there isn't already; include an option to change the default (votes) to another selection based on what you like. For example; I like to read what other people have written before responding to a post so I would like to have the default as oldest first.
