Mild Newbie Confusion, Herein

My apologies if this is in the wrong forum.

However, something seems to be amiss. I have posted a few times in this forum lately. However, when I log off, my posts seem to disappear.
Also, I've noticed a distinct lack of discussion in topics that I post on (making me the last poster). Normally I'd just attribute this to the topic being over, but since my own posts don't appear to myself unless I'm logged in, I am unsure.

Finally, it seems rather difficult to just see a list of all the "Active Messages" I have, like a list of topics that I have posted in. Is that the "Subscribed Threads" List option?

I'm going to log off after typing this, which leads me to wonder if it will even appear or be answered in. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Things you've posted in is the "Subscribed Threads" thing, and that shows up in the UserCP. As for your other question, I think Vexorian will be angry if I explain it, so let's just say that because I can see this post it's not going to be happening any more.

Ah! Thank you.

And if the "other question" you're speaking of is about how my posts disappear when I log out... Well, I'll just drop it and stay logged in. Thanks, though.

Dont worry, your posts probably wont disapeer now

Yes, that's what I was referring to, and no: they won't disappear at all anymore, in fact... so you don't have to worry about constantly be logging in.

Cool cool. Gratzi for explanative (sic) answers. Well, I guess this can be closed now... Or just wallow in obscurity until purging.
