Yo.
I use the recent posts section of the main page to view updates to threads I had recently participated in.
It can be difficult though because it doesn't mention what thread the post is from, only the board.
Currently it's structured like this
(Board):(>>comment)
(Board):(>>comment)
(Board):(>>comment)
What ends out happening is I have to click on all the links to find which one I had posted in because there is not indication which posts belong to what thread.
I think the recent posts section should be
(Thread):(>>comment)
