Here are some hints:
1) Go to the forum List, and choose a subheading. You should see yellow rectangles near the topics that are new.
2) use search to search for your name, or the name of who you are following - Hint (that's what I do, so if you what to be sure I'll respond, say 'Grinity')
3) Go to the drop down under 'Active Topics'and click on active topics. Also, as a kindness, look at the 'Unanswered Posts' just to make sure we are being a friendly board - you might be able to provide support or information. (That's how I found this post)
4) there is a way to have all post sent to your email inbox, but I forgot how to do it.
5) you can always post a private message to Mark, and he'll answer questions.
