    That's not a feature in vBulletin. Sorry.

    I know. But I still don't have any use of it, if I can't see what forums/topics has been updated. It's standard in SMF.

    When you click the Link for xx UnRead Posts in upper right corner, it will list all threads that have been updated. You can scan and then select what ones to read. Picking one thread, then gives a link upper left of the first post -- View Unread Post -- to take you to that one directly since your last read of the thread.

    For the threads that you do not want to see, but show up in the UnRead Posts Results, just ignore and do Mark All Forums Read when complete with the threads you did desire to view. It's a compromise, I know. ;)

    If you want to "watch" specific threads that you have posted in, then yes, it does allow you to do this. :)

    You can also subscribe to entire forums or sub-forums, which allows you to be made aware when they are updated.

    Not sure if you already have it but, LiveTopic?

    Instead of clicking refresh in a thread and hope to see a new post, Live Topic does it automatically if a new post occurs.

    I don't think you quite understand the feature I'm looking for.

    In every topic I have posted in in this forum, I have notification enabled. That means I get an email on new replies in the topics I am active in... or I manually enabled notifications on.

    So tomorrow when I return, I might have emails regarding replies in 5 topics I'm watching.
    I can choose to click those 5 email links and read them each one by one, but in SMF I can click on "Show new replies to your posts", which will give me the same list.
    If there are some that doesn't interest me anymore, I can mark them read by marking them, then clicking "Mark selected as read", then take time to read the others I have still interest in.
    It's a feature that no hardcore SMF user can live without.

    In SMF, I also have the similar feature to "You Have xx Unread Posts", but that's for topics I'm not having notifications enabled for. It just shows me what happened in the forum since last visit. Same options, just for the opposite posts.

    Please either fix the mobile theme so that it looks decent and I could switch to normal theme, or remove it altogether :)

    Alex@. Have you clicked on User CP? That brings up a drop down list, then click on User CP again. That should bring up just the threads you are subscribed to, which usually means you posted to them.

    Yeah, but that's the complete list of all subscribed topics, not a list of subscribed topics I didn't read.

    Those are the list of subscribed topics you didn't read, or they would not be showing up in there. There is a little button on the left of the thread title and when the mouse hovers over it, should say 'go to last unread post'. Click on that and you will be where the new posts start.

    ???

    Change your settings so it subscribes you to each thread you post in. Then when you visit your list of subscribed threads it will show you threads you have posted in that contain new posts.

    It sounds like that's what you want to do?

    And if you don't want to receive emails about new posts them change your subscription type to "No email notification". You wont receive emails but you'll still have your subscriptions.

    I don't understand the feature you are wanting. What you have asked for, is possible in vBulletin - but then you say it isn't what you asked for. :confused:

    All I would like to have is a "Unread replies" -list. It shows what happened in the forum since your last visit in the topics you have subscription on.
