Indeed there is! It's called "MyFlyertalk", and it is accessible via a link near the top of the page on the far left side of the screen (the link itself is white text on a dark blue background). To add one of your favorite forums to what appears in MyFlyertalk, go to that forum and click on "Forum Tools", then "Subscribe to this Forum".
You can also do the same with individual threads by clicking on "Thread Tools" and "Subscribe to this Thread" once you are inside a thread looking at it.
I seem to recall there is a thread somewhere with other helpful hints and tricks to using FT, but I can't seem to locate it right now. Hopefully I, or someone else if they find it first, will post a link to it, but certainly don't be afraid to ask questions!
Edit: I THINK this is the thread I was talking about
