When I log onto the SDMB in the morning, the first thing I do is check for any threads that I’ve posted in that have new posts. That way, I can see if anyone’s refuted my half-baked assertions or laughed at my half-witted jokes. I do it by doing an “Advanced Search” and searching for my screen name.

Is there a quicker way to achieve this same end; namely, finding all threads I’ve posted in?

Have you tried looking at your subscriptions?

The easiest way to get there is from the menu bar at the top of the page. The path is: Quick Links==\> Subscriptions

If the threads you’ve posted in are not in there, you will need to update your settings to subscribe to the threads you’ve posted in.

Click on “User CP” on the top left of the page. It’ll take you to your user settings and a list of all threads you are participating in that have new replies. If it doesn’t do this, then you need to change your subscription settings as mentioned by **Maus Magill**.

Thank you both! That’s much easier and quicker. 😃
