One thing I do very often here is to click "search", then "advanced search", fill in my own name, select "a week ago", and hit the "search now" button. (This is how I check if someone has replied to any of my recent posts). It would be nice to have a link that does all that automatically.

Hi Fredrik! :smile:

Isn't it quicker to click "Subscribed Threads" on the "Quick Links" drop-down menu?

(you can subscribe without email notification, via the "Edit Options" page, if you want)

(ooh … I've just noticed that if you use the mouse to "open in a new window" when you click "Quick Links", you get an old version of the Reply page, including an alphabetical list of colours :-p)
 
Or perhaps upper menu: Get Posts, No replies?

Edit: no, obviously it does something else.

You can use 'My PF', and click on 'View all Subscribed Threads', it'll be ordered by most recent.

That's also a good way to see what your Ambien walrus has been posting.
 
Use the subscribed threads feature. It allows you to see which threads that you follow have new posts. Probably best to disable email notification though.
 
If you change your subscription setting, be aware that it is only applied to posts made after you change the setting. To subscribe to threads you posted in before the setting change, you would need to go to each thread and individually subscribe to them. It may or may not be worth your time to do this for threads you posted in during the last few days.
