Here's a screenshot, it's where your username is displayed right next to "Inbox" and "Alerts". The "your content" link is in the right column about halfway down

Doe anyone know how to make "your content" come up as threads rather than individual posts?

that might be helpful ............

fingers crossed ;)

Ditto these ^^^^

What would be nice is a way to quickly find out whether new posts have been made to any thread that I had already posted in. (Hope that's clearer than mud....) I wish I could remember exactly what I did in the old Forum to get that list. I *think* I clicked "What's New" in the upper left of the main menu bar, then "My Posts". (????)

The dark grey menu bar near the top has an option called "Watched Threads" which should work for you.

The first thing I did was use the "Mark Forums Read" so it would think I've read every post in my Watched Threads.
And now when I click on "Watched Threads" it only shows me threads that have unread posts.

I think that only shows threads that you are actively "watching" what used to be "subscribed." I really hope there is a view for threads that I've participated in.

I'm pretty sure when you post in a thread it automatically becomes "watched" depending on your preference settings.

My settings had a box that was already checked that said...
Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply...

Ok, I just found something, if you hover over your name and go to Preferences, you can set it to automatically watch threads that you reply to. That helps for going forward, not sure about anything from before though.
It seems all of my subscribed threads were automatically "watched" here in the new software.
I had to "Mark Forums Read" to get them all out of my "Watched Threads" list.

Now the "Watched Threads" option only shows such threads when a new post shows up.

Mine was checked also but when I hit "watched threads" it didn't show this thread. It says "you are not watching any threads

Edit: had to hit the "read" button and it showed. Still not as friendly as the old system.

The setting to watch threads you've posted in, as described in the above posts, is a good option. When you click on the button in the menu bar at the top, it will only show the threads you are watching that have unread posts.

And yes, the "watched threads" is the equivalent to subscribed threads from the old forum, all of which should have carried over in the new transition

The "what new"-"my post" was a really great feature that I used daily.

yes, it was! especially for people with a marginal connection :(

one page of all the recent threads i posted it - bold print for those with new posts :( i'm sure we'll adjust though ;)

And "new Posts" can be changed to "today's posts" -- since I'm here every day, that works best for me!
