Where is the list of threads that I have started or responded to? In the old forums these use to be listed on the home page (IIRC) so I could very quickly get to these. Surely we don't have to set each of the threads as a favorite?
Please change this back.
So currently (August 2010), this here seems to work for me to globally see all threads where I was active, no matter which forum/product. I have this as a favorite.

Yes, it does not cover wiki articles and the likes, but for people who mainly hang around in forums that could be a nice shortcut. How about putting a prominent button into the start page that performs this search?
While this helps keeping track of my discussions, still there's no easy way to visually navigate through the areas in the community. After all the changes in recent 2-3 months, which in my eyes replaced complex appearance by just another complex looking appearance, I'm sitting here and loosing motivation to deal with the community.
What's good now is the "search by terms" to find information, and somehow the product centric structures. Everything else ("community", Solutions, programs, members, activity lists, ...) has no appeal to me, it's too much of a multi-structured, multidimensional puzzle.

Well, funny that I have that sort of "my discussions" overview right after sign in. While I'm missing a link go go back there after I read a topic, I simply use my Browser Link pointing to
communities.bentley.com/.../default.aspx
that here also works:
communities.bentley.com/f
Just to be clear: There I have an overview over all my "opened or replied to" thread, no matter which product forum it took place!
I'm I the lucky one having found this or does that help everyone?
EDIT 25-Aug-2010: After the numerous changes in this community the above doesn't apply anymore. See next post for new solution

Yes, it is... that is something that is a "known issue" right now and is being looked into.
What is the purpose of the "SITE ACTIVITY" widget? It seems as though it should also perform some of this functionality.
The "MY STUFF" widget (available on a customized Home Page) offers some of that functionality. If the "MY STUFF" widget had a "Show pager" (like "Conversation List") it would provide a lot of that functionality. It would also need to resort and have an icon change to indicate new replies.
