Hi!
 
First, the search function doesn't seem to work. Whatever I search for gives no results.
 
Searching seems to be the only way to know which topics I have been posting in (if it had worked).
 
Ideally I think that on my page (or "member control panel"), there should be links to topics I have been active in, during the last month or so, or at least the 5 latest topics. That would be easier than searching through the different forums and trying to remember were I posted.
There is a list of all the threads you have posted in.
 
It is in Member Control Panel (top of this page in the light blue bar just before "xx New Messages") - from that panel select "Subscriptions"
 
What?

Yup. it's just that I have to subcribe to every topic I'm active in, and I'm not interested in email notices (there will be too many). But I'll try subcribing, and see how it goes!

Did you find anything you wanted in the search I made for you?

You don't receive an email for every post made in a thread, only for the first one made after your last visit in that day, so if there are a stream of posts and you don't open the thread you will only receive 1 email.

No, it had expired. But thanks anyway. (I know how to use the search now, so it's allright)

Ok, that sounds very good, though!
