AI Thread Summary
Users are seeking a method to view their recent forum activity, specifically threads they've posted in over a certain period. The User Control Panel primarily offers options to subscribe to forums or threads, which some find unnecessary. Subscriptions generally notify users via email about new posts in threads they are interested in, but only if they select the "Email Notification" option when posting. A suggested solution is to perform a search using the username without any keywords, which will display all topics the user has replied to, sorted by the most recent activity. This method effectively helps users track their contributions and check for replies.

Is there a way to see what threads you've posted to in the last x days? (Like in PF2.)
The only thing I see in the User Control Panel is to subscribe to forums/threads, Which I'd rather not bother to do right now. But I would like to be able to see if I forgot to check for replies where I post ocassionally.
Maybe subscribing to a forum will show me where I've posted recently? Anybody know?
What exactly are forum/thread subscricptions anyway? I think it's to send you an e-mail when there are posts to a thread you're subscribed to, is this correct?

You should only receive an email if you click the checkbox "Email Notification" when posting a topic or reply.

Subscriptions are organized in your user cp. Help you keep track of forums and threads easier.

Try doing a search, but leave the keyword box blank and seach by your username. It will return all topics you've replied in, ordered by most recent.

I want to thank those members who interacted with me a couple of years ago in two Optics Forum threads. They were @Drakkith, @hutchphd, @Gleb1964, and @KAHR-Alpha. I had something I wanted the scientific community to know and slipped a new idea in against the rules. Thank you also to @berkeman for suggesting paths to meet with academia. Anyway, I finally got a paper on the same matter as discussed in those forum threads, the fat lens model, got it peer-reviewed, and IJRAP...
About 20 years ago, in my mid-30s (and with a BA in economics and a master's in business), I started taking night classes in physics hoping to eventually earn the science degree I'd always wanted but never pursued. I found physics forums and used it to ask questions I was unable to get answered from my textbooks or class lectures. Unfortunately, work and life got in the way and I never got further the freshman courses. Well, here it is 20 years later. I'm in my mid-50s now, and in a...
