New Posts within subscribed threads.
When you select the "New Posts" link , you are shown new posts from all of the Flyertalk Forums. At times it can be a quite interesting as well as intertaining to read random threads.
But I really miss a "New Posts" that is limited to your subscribed threads ! I subscribe to around ten forums , some busy and some not so busy, and it would be great to be able to check up on them in one go,instead of having to open the forums one by one.

I concur. I would particularly like to have a "New Posts" option within a forum. That would be a lot easier way to see what was going on without opening a bunch of threads.

That should do what you're asking for--if you meant "limited to your subscribed threads."
If you meant "limited to your subscribed forums," then no, there isn't a way (AFAIK) to do that short of opening all of the forums you subscribe to. But control-clicking each subscribed forum from your MyFlyerTalk page and opening them all into new tabs behind your current tab is a pretty quick way to skim through your subscribed forums for new posts.

Are you familiar with MyFlyerTalk?

1. Start at MyFlyerTalk
2. Control-click (or command-click on a Mac) the little "Go To First Unread Post" triangle on all of my "New Subscribed Threads," thus opening them into new tabs
3. Click to the next tab and read. Keep my left hand resting on control-W (command-W on my Mac) to efficiently close the thread when I'm done reading it (most threads only have a couple new posts, which I can skim quickly)
4. When I'm done with that, which can take awhile if I haven't been on FT all day, refresh MyFlyerTalk (control-R or the F5 key) and repeat steps 2-3
5. Control-click all of the "Subscribed Forums" that I want to read from my MyFlyerTalk page
6. Click to the next tab and then control-click on the "Go To First Unread Post" triangle next to any threads that sound interesting and then close the forum tab
7. Repeat steps 2-3 and 6 until I've made my way through all of my forums
8. Do one last refresh of the MyFlyerTalk page to see if there are any new responses to posts I'm interested in
And then, of course:
9. Repeat step 8 out of boredom until I have to go somewhere or find something better to do

I like to think my methods are pretty efficient!
