When I make a post online, and check back to see if responses were made to it (via my profile) it doesnt always put a new messages envelope next to the thread to indicate additional posts have been made (even though there have been and i hadnt checked it yet).

1) Is there any way to know for sure if new posts are made to a thread? the standard indicator isnt always working for me.

2) also is there a faster way to see all of my past posts than via My Profile?

Thanks!
