As I wrote above, going to the User Control Panel and setting up the Subscribe function to automatically subscribe you to threads you have posted in is WAY convenient. Saves having to search. It only shows threads that have actually been updated since you last were on, as well as lists new PM messages.
Can't believe I was on the board a year before I figured it out!!
