Yea the out of order is a side affect of the new search engine, I'll put a fix in for it when I get the time #TODO
Maybe I should rename it to "My Threads"

Yeah, "My Threads" might clear up some of this confusion, but cause new confusion, lol. "My Threads" sounds like threads that you yourself started. But I really don't care what it's called as long as it exists, lol.
Note: see the "ETA" in my previous post. It might be good to give the people who used to use it, their "YOUR Posts" back - although for the life of me, I can't see the utility of a chronological list of your own posts...

I had to go back in time and find these posts in the thread that led to the addition of the "My Posts" button. 
I'm late to the party (in this thread). I'd started one titled "My Posts" a while back (months ago, actually before the upgrade) ... thanks for the responses Alex. I guess this thread is the correct place though, sorry.
My Posts used to list threads you'd posted to. The list was in the order of the thread most recently posted in as #1, regardless of who did that last posting. It was a good way to check for followups to your posts.
I recognize that it's on your to-do list, I see the conversation above. Just trying to be helpful.
You fixed it before, and I'm sure you'll do it again.

I think "My Posts" is not wrong at all. If you want to clarify that it will give you a list of threads you've posted in, you can use a tooltip. For instance, setting the tooltip to "Threads you've posted in", you can rename the button to something like "Posts..." or simply "Posts". Just my opinion.

The "My Posts" link currently functions exactly the same way as it did in the previous version with the exception of chronological order, which Alex already addressed. If you want to see your posts you can go through your profile. Although as a previous poster mentioned I can imagine why you would need to see your own post except for finding a link posted or some other reference point, on rare occasion. Certainly not worth a button on the top row.

Let's face it, the majority like to see their post hit the lineup. I think it's due to the fact that sometimes things just don't work the way they should. It also makes it easier to keep track of the thread which is why I liked the old My Post option. I'll also love it when the newest posts are at the top---the scattered about thing is a royal pain.
And yes, we can check through the statistic tab, but most people aren't in the habit of doing that. Besides it's just one more thing members have to go back and constantly check on.
Basically, and I do realize the difficult job of the administration, it should be what is the most convenient for the membership---at least that is my opinion.

Alex, a very minor thing, but it's worth mentioning. The new ECF logo is partially covering the "remember me" text and box.

This may be 'in progress' or perhaps I'm missing a parameter but the old search you used to be able to designate search by post or by thread and it appears that the by post option is gone.
I think the "myposts" is working fine, as is the "view first unread" now. Gotta say, lots done in one week with a minimal interruption. Great to have the forum still going throughout the tweaks.
Great job to all working on it.

alex, the pages are still not lining up properly in ie8 compatibility view, besides that i've not had any major problems
Ah, that's where it's hidden! I see the "search forum" has both options on the dropdown - might incorporate that same dropdown on the regular 'search' if that's possible.
Still need a way to get back to the list of threads, use to be able to click a button that took you back to first page and refresh the list of threads. Now I have to use the back button on my browser and then the browser refresh button. Need a "Go" button next to the site navigation drop down or be able to click there with out the dropdown happening.
Last night about 11 PM I keep getting network timeouts. I know other people aren't having these. The last couple days were fine but last night it was constant - some timeouts very brief some lasting 5 or 10 minutes. And again this morning.
Is anyone else having these?

This is probably a 'head slap' but what is the designation of the different colored 'envelopes'/icons at the left of a thread in a forum - red, blue, gray....?
Go to the very bottom of the page of any forum, and it'll show you.
If you go to settings then general settings then towards the bottom of the page switch from new posts to todays posts and it comes up the way it used to be.
Thanks Angus - it's what I thought it might be but there was one blue envelop that wasn't changing.... Is 'hot' defined by recent new posts?
