Because MyFlyertalk just lists ALL the threads and forums you've subscribed to, AND you have to add those to your list yourself.
With the feature I'm talking about, as soon as there's a new post in a specific thread that you posted in, it will automatically be on the list. Also, when you've read it and refresh the list, it will update immediately and that thread you just read will not be on the list anymore. Additionally, it will stay on the list until you read it or mark it as "read"... there's no timing out like MyFlyertalk.
I find it more convenient than MyFlyertalk, as it allows you to quick access replies to your posting without having to search them out (with how quickly some forums/threads go in FT, your stuff can get buried pretty fast).
Believe me, most of you won't regret it. The only downside is that it will continue to list the new replies to your posts even if you've lost interest in them (no way to stop the listing)... but threads eventually die off anyway.
I say, please add the feature.. and if one doesn't use it, then oh well ^
