@IBobi, I've read through things again and can't see anywhere that anyone agreed it had gone back to what they wanted during the various changes to My Threads, or explicitly asking for anything else. There is a bit of chatter around where Posts / Threads was swapped that may look like acceptance, but I'm not sure that poster had long enough to spot what had really landed when hinting they were happy.

Unfortunately I have found that flyertalk has the most content-heavy ads which really slow down the page.
I would love to remove my adblocker for flyertalk, but not till the ads are just image-based ads instead of all the videos and gifs which make page loading slower.

Using Chrome on iPhone and the mobile skin every time I type a reply the text editor jumps to being scrolled so that I can’t see what I’m typing.
Please see screenshot.

An excellent example came up today where by using the top-right Profile-drop / My Recent Posts an old thread that someone has just posted to but I haven't for a while didn't appear. Luckily, I have that above URL bookmarked so that I can use it periodically to see what the "official" links are now missing.
That aren't included here because I haven't posted for 90 or more days (new My Recent Posts link):

EsherFlyer, regarding the labels, you just tell me how you'd like them and what the exact text should be and we can change that quickly.
On the screenshot you provided, you said something about 90 days - which is now more confusing and concerning, are you saying that the label takes you to the correct screen but you think older 90+ day threads are not displaying even though you posted in them 90+ days ago?

On the 90 day thing, what I mean is that the new "My Recent Posts" link gives a desirable threads (rather than posts) view but has a filter on it, so that it won't show a thread where another user has just posted unless you've participated in the last 90 days. The old "My Threads" did not have that filter, and hence was more useful.
