I have been involved with other online groups and found this type of feature was very useful.
I am finding it difficult to keep track of discussions because I find I am spending a lot of time searching back through categories and threads trying to find the one I posted in to see if anyone else has said anything new. As a result I am not as involved as I would like to be.
I envision a page the member could access showing a listing of the threads they have posted in that has since received a new post. They could perhaps delete after 30 days.
Is this feasible or is there some way that members do navigate the discussions they are in that I haven't figured out yet?

I asked something similar, if it would be possible to flag a certain post where you would be informed of any new responses, and was told this can only be done by category (e.g., GB Stamps, but not a specific post within that topic category).

lol I have flagged categories for e-mail and am not receiving e-mails at all. Sigh. I wish this were possible, it would make participation in discussion so much easier.

Yes I would like to see responses as well...Unless someone emails you specifically it may be days before you locate the comments and suggestions.... Cheryl

Everytime I come to the site, which is at least once a day, but usually a couple of times, I just click on the last 30 postings, and then the last days postings and check for a new post in the catagory that I have put something in. It usually works reasonably well without having to search everything.

I've started doing that too and it seems to be working for me.

Is there some way that I am not aware of to know when someone has posted a response in a thread that you are taking part in or that you started?
