Linda,
There are a couple of other ways to return to a forum you like besides those you mentioned.
You can click the 'email me' box to get notices of replies to threads you want to track. Once you are in a thread, you can back up in the Categories box above the posts by clicking on each word to the left of the thread title. This is how I usually do it. I always check that box if I reply to a thread, because sometimes people write me back and I don't want to be rude by never showing up again. If the thread keeps going beyond your interest point, you can always un-check it later.
Also, if you click on Forums in the left-hand menu, you will get a screen with two tabs, Admin and My Forums. The latter is a bit misleading, because it doesn't refer to forums you own, but forums in which you are a member. The list is organized by category, and can be long. This is probably the least efficient way to find them if you belong to very many.
It helps if you go through occasionally and remove yourself from forums that are no longer active or that you aren't interested in any more. Be careful...some people get upset if you remove yourself from their forum. You might want to send a diplomatic personal message letting them know why before you do it.
Hope this helps, too.
Cheri
