I might just be oblivious to this feature, but is there anywhere you can see a compiled list of your posts and their threads? If there isn't, there should be.

Not sure I get you.
Does not the "new posts" function do this?

Not new posts, but posts that you have replied to. Some forums have a list of "discussions" that you are a part of in one compiled list so you can return to them quickly.

I guess you could try simply searching your own memebername; click 'Search' at top right of the page and go from there (page will have 'Search by username', and be sure to use Posts not Topics)

Yeah, that's one thing that annoys me about this site
Most other forums at least have some sort of indicator on the icon beside the thread that you've posted in there, like a dot or something

The problem with that is that it only finds topics that YOU started.

Maybe the webkit running this forum is of older origin than of most of other forums out there, so this one has less functions, so it's more limited.

I remember that you used to be able to search your posts rather than just topics using the topic search, but it was disabled due to bandwidth drain or some such issue. It would be possible to enable it for all using the current forum software.
You can use google to search for posts in threads (e.g. site:progarchives.com/forum user name), but it's not very effective often. I wish we could search for posts rather than just topic too, but there were some problems that forced M@X to disable certain features.
