TalonMan said: It's something that always bothered me as well. I hate having to scroll through any recent threads I've posted in to see if there were, by chance, any replies.
Even worse, if somebody posts in a thread that's NOT very 'recent', I am likely to NEVER know about it unless I happen to be online (and it's in the hot topic' section at that exact moment) and recognize the topic...
There are ways to do this (I think) - PM'ing a message though, is a bit over-the-top. Changing your posting history to more of a 'mailbox' type view, may work though... ...not an easy fix either way though - will certainly be considered and added to the list of things needing improvement.

Did you catch my suggestion for the wall posts? Just making the "My Profile" link red if anyone has posted on your wall. It seems like it would require less bandwidth and be a little bit easier for the users.

Yup - I saw it...
...I ignored it so you'd get irked. :P
j/k
Not sure I'd want to change the 'my profile' link to red - I don't think that would look too good and we're starting to mess with the overall 'style' at that point. I could, however, add a separate notification (where you see messages/friend requests/code requests/etc) for 'wall posts' - clicking it would send you to your profile and clear the flag.

Yeah, that would be a much better system. And would remove the need of two-whole clicks, two clicks which I really can't be bothered to do.
Perhaps another idea, for the new posts system, would be just to have a little symbol next to a thread title which would suggest that something new has been posted. Or just bold the text in the title, and have an icon which jumps to the oldest new post (if you get what I mean).
