TenshinWarrior, I don't know why I didn't think of this before.
But better late than never.
One way to at least follow your own posts and/or threads is by clicking your name, such as at the bottom of the Forum page, under Currently Active Users. A separate windows pops up with your profile. Scroll down to Forum Info, where you can select either "Find all posts by..." or "Find all threads started by...", then another separate window pops up listing all those posts.
If you're inside a thread, you can click your name, or any other member's name, for that matter, and a small box pops up with several options, including "Find all posts by...", or from there you may also select "View Public Profile".
Hope that helps a little more.
