Hi again.

You can click on your handle in the post above mine and you'll see a drop-down menu. Select "Find More Posts By travelmbs" and it'll show you your most recent 500 posts. Click on an individual post to be brought back to that thread.

Also, when you make a post, before you hit the Submit Reply button, scroll down to something called Thread Subscription and then make a selection other than Do Not Subscribe. Anytime someone adds a post to that thread it'll pop up in your MyFlyerTalk.

The MyFlyerTalk area is accessed by clicking on the blue bar at the top of the page, left hand corner. This is an area where you can customize FlyerTalk to just show the forums you are most interested in following. To subscribe to a forum, select Forum Tools at the upper right part of the main forum page. From the dropdown box, select "Subscribe to this Forum". That forum will appear under your MyFlyerTalk area. Continue adding whatever forums you want.

There's really no substitute to just spending an free hour or so when you have the chance and just practice navigating through the forums. Click on anything and everything and see what happens and where it takes you. That's perhaps the best way to learn how to navigate these forums.

One more thing. In your MyFlyerTalk area, on the left side of the page, will be Your Control Panel. This is a very powerful feature that allows you to further customize FT to your liking. Make sure you click through everything to get an idea of what you can customize.

And feel free to post back here with any additional questions.
