OK. Maybe if you see a thread, you can hit a marker.... Bare with me on this one. And you can mark the thread as "Watch". Remeber that usenet reader.... Forte Agent I think??? Where you can mark a thread as watch. You might not participate in this thread, but you've flagged it.

And then when you enter the forum, you click MY Watchlist or something, and up comes a list of your interesting threads that you have marked to keep an eye on.
