Hi, with so many changes, there will be a need for features that expedite finding the info you need. Not everyone comments on all the discussions they are interested in, and especially now, some threads maybe thrAds (finally know what that means lol) and clients may want to simply be able to look at it again and again.  

Of course you can bookmark, etc, but I wonder if it would be a simple task to ad a "follow" or subscribe feature  (similar to HX for those who are familiar) where you can go and see updates to the threads or thrAds you are interested in. Thanks.

TER's forum software isn't very feature rich. For several years now, some people :-) have been suggesting that TER switch to one of the popular FREE open source forum software packages. There would be more features, probably with better implementations (searching, advanced searching, better private messaging, sorting, following, flagging, NEW posts, etc.).  
.
In the meantime, if you reply to a thread you want to "bookmark", you can list your own posts and maybe find your post and go back to the thread. You can check one of both of the boxes for:
[  ] Private Message Me On Response or [  ] Email Message Me On Response  
.
 Or you can search your own posts one Board at a time.  E.g., on S&P, I can "search for [open source forum software] [all these words]" AND "Author [impposter]" and I will find many previous threads on this topic ... without a single reply from TER Admin.

You can select the "Private Message Me On Response" or "Email Message Me On Response" options when you reply to a thread and it'll notify you in kind.  

 
It's not great, but it works.

 

Personally, I use the "my board posts" under the "more" tab on the "my TER" page to monitor replies. It's not perfect.

I had discovered those different ways to keep track but found them a bit cumbersome, but hey, probably isn't going to matter much now
