You can search for latest post in topics you have posted in with this URL:
http://raspberrypi.org/forums/search.ph ... =egosearch
These may not be replies to you, but seems to be the best way to catch up with discussions in which you are participating.

Or you can click on your username at the top of every forum page. Towards the bottom of that page is "Your activity" and a link "Show your posts". That literally shows your own posts, not latest posts from others who may have replied to you.

AFAIK there is no option to view a list of posts that are direct replies (user clicked "Reply" button on your post.

Not sure if this works for non-mods, but click on your username, and there might be a search for users posts option somewhere.

Yes, that works, either on a post (for a list of the post author's posts), or on your username at the top of the page, as I described earlier.

Don't know if others would find it useful, but I've got a link on my desktop to
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/searc ... 4&sr=posts

For the OP it would be
search.php?author_id=225873&sr=posts

I like the "egosearch" best because it shows me the latest post from any member, in each topic I have posted in. "Your posts" shows all my posts, whether there are any new posts after it or not.

True but it also highlights any that have had new posts since you last visited.

I use that too, but, if you're not using the prosilver "skin" you need to bookmark an equivalent link (there's no link provided for you in the "raspite" skin).
Unlike @Burngate's example it appears not to require an "author_id":
search.php?search_id=egosearch

Is that a moderator only feature? I don't see any such indication.
I see a reply count, but that seems to be a total, not since last visit.

It's a feechur of the "prosilver" theme that isn't in the default "Raspite" theme.

Go here: ucp.php?i=174 to change the board theme/style.

Possibly (more likely?) "prosilver" cf. "raspite". (I don't see any such highlighting using "show your posts" or egosearch with raspite, but egosearch does list "newest first" w.r.t. to latest post, whether it's mine or not, for each thread)

Edit. Dougie has confirmed that 'tis prosilver as I wrote the above :)
