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.
If you don't manually subscribe to any threads yourself, MyFlyertalk does exactly what you're talking about. As soon as there's a new post in a specific thread I've posted in, e.g., this one, it will automatically be on MyFlyertalk. When I've read it, it will be unbolded from MyFlyertalk. The next time I log in to MyFlyertalk or click on the MyFlyertalk button, a new list pops up with all the threads that have I have replied to that have replies.
