Hiya, is there a quick way to find threads that I posted or replied to so I can check their progress over the following days? Thank you

yes to find your past posts click on your name in your post and select find more post by user, alternativly go to search at top of the page, click advanced searcha nd then type your name in to "username" and select either threads or posts

Click on quick links (next to Log Out), scroll down to subscribed threads and all threads you've ever posted or replied to are listed.

Only if you have subscribed to the thread when you posted it or you have automatic subscriptions switched on. (Subscriptions aren't added automatically)

Go to your User CP, then select Edit Options on the left. Scroll down and about half way down the page you will see an option saying Default Thread Subscription Mode. (Messaging and Notification section) Select your desired automatic subscription option from the list then apply the settings. I would choose "No Email notification" because otherwise you will get an email for nearly every thread you post in when someone replies. (You can always pick Email notification on specific threads later)

Now, when you post a thread or reply a subscription will be added. Then just go to your User CP when you come back and all your subscribed threads with new posts appear.

cheers, advanced search worked thanks iwanttosave but i have now carefully followed instructions from tigetmatt and posting this reply should allow me to check it appears in my subscribed threads! ......

There's no limit to the number of subscriptions you can have either. I don't remove any of my subscriptions, because some posts do get posts a few weeks after replies stopped coming in.

I have also set myself up with a seperate subscriptions folder for storing any useful thread subscriptions in - that way I can refer to the posts easily at a later date, when I need advice myself or when it is a useful thread which I reference when I reply to a commonly asked question. If you want to know how to do it, reply and I'll tallk you through it.
