Sorting "My threads" correctly
Not sure if this is a well known problem and known workaround (too generic an issue for a search to get relevant hits) but I have bookmarked the "My threads" link in my profile so I could quickly see all threads I had replied to and monitor new posts. Unfortunately it doesn't sort properly if you want new posts to bubble up, so I added &sortby=lastpost to the end of the search link. Unfortunately this doesn't fix the problem.

Unless there is a way to retroactively subscribe to all threads I've posted in, that workaround isn't going to help (not to mention it may not sort properly either). It should be an easy fix to sort search results correctly if the folks behind the scenes know how to fix what is likely a bug in this inistall of vBulletin.
Edit: this thread isn't bubbling up either. Here's is a screen print demonstrating the issue.

As you can see it is not sorting by last post (and this thread is sorting too low to be captured in the screen print).

You're right that it won't help you with the 83 threads you've already posted in...but now's the time to make the change when you only have 83 threads you need to subscribe to! Changing later when you have thousands is going to be a pain.
And yes, MyFlyerTalk does sort threads properly. At least try MyFlyerTalk out and see if it works for you. Seriously, it's the only way a user who is active at all around here can keep up.
I wish "Subscribe" with "No Email Notification" were the default. That would make things like this so much easier.

Nope, as you can see in the screen print I posted the sorting is still out of order for the 2 threads I posted last. Also, I have noticed that if I go to the main page and tell it to mark all posts as read that it seems to improve the sorting, but not entirely.

Maybe it's sorting by your first post in those threads? Which one was earlier?
