Would be VERY useful if under the "show" drop down window, include "My
threads" so user doesn't have to check email for updates.

Yes, I could do a search for for my posts, but that requires additional
steps for something that may result in no changes or if I just wanted to
check quickly.

If there are instructions someplace on how to do this, then another
suggestion would be to put the Q&A in the FAQs. Its so hard to find info on
many MS & related sites, that you have to prepare yourself that you won't
find the answer on the first try and expect it to be a time sink, therefore
unless its stopping you from completing an important task, some may not want
to takes the time and keep getting frustrated until they are ready to take
the time.

Like, I said; it would be VERY nice feature to have.

Do yourself a BIG favour and ditch the horrible web interface. Use a news
reader instead.
