I like the "my recent posts" feature -- it's likely that I'll post to a thread and then totally forget what it's called a couple weeks later when I wonder whether anything has happened on that thread.
Yeah, that's what I use it for, though hours not weeks. I like it a lot. "What have I posted on lately and has any of it made anyone call me a jerk?"
Is there any way - sorry if it actually already does this, or if the lookups would be a terrible resource-drain - it could mark which of the posts are on threads which have been replied to since you looked?

Isn't this what bookmarks are for?

bookmarks are too too much. i don't want in-yer-face notifications every time every thread i post to gets updated.

too too - unintentional use of double intensifier

But the "My Recent Posts" thing doesn't tell you when a thread has been updated. It only shows your recent posts, not the posts that might've followed them.

Still think Keith should just refuse to implement some features (not even as a preference), but if not then perhaps these new features (and all the menu items in fact) should each have a unique class name (e.g.
menu-myrecentposts
menu-sortalpha
display: none

(also code should perhaps apply the html code tag, not the pre one so things like that don't happen!)

I can see it being useful for "How drunk was I last night?" analysis.

I like that the 'site new answer' is on the bottom of the page!

I find my recent posts nifty, fwiw. Its a nice simple reminder of threads you've been active on without having to recieve constant updates in any other form. Its controllable, y'kin?
And Kenan, <3 you darl but you shot yourself in the foot asking why the alph feature's right up top, when you missed site answers and the point thereof: if new features werent in peoples faces most people wouldn't know to use them maybe.
Hmm actually: what about a "new features!" link instead that bolds up when Keith's added new things? S'just a thought.
