There is also a "Notify" option at the bottom of threads that will alert you to replies. I would imagine this alert is via email, so I'd probably not recommend setting alerts for too many threads!

You get a single email per thread when a new reply is posted, until you visit the site again. But you can change this to be instantly, or a daily/weekly digest. Click your name in the top right, click account settings, and then notifications.

Can I just add to this.

When threads are moved to a more appropriate section of the forum, can they indicate so, just as they did on Pep; the title staying in place and being labelled 'moved'.

I recently asked for a thread to be moved and it was but I doubt the original poster has found it since, here, in the Flame Pit.

There is a "New" pill next to topics if they've had new posts, I believe it looks like it only goes on posts you've read, but it might be posts after you've last been active on the forum.

Are there any markers on the forum to indicate which topics I've posted in and also whether such marked topics have new posts? So an easy way to scan a whole page of posts.

This facility was on PPP. As I recall the indicator was a square fully filled and a square half filled in. Whether this was a global default or individually enabled I've no idea.

Likewise for topics I've read but not posted in. I don't want to read the same topics again only to find that I don't want to post.

As things stand on FTLA I post in some topics that I've read. But I've no easy way to know if there's been a reply, especially given that weeks might go by before there's an update.

Thanks,
