Danita, I think you should edit how your home page is set up. I am able to show 'Updated Threads' I have either marked to watch or have responded to; 'Watched Forums' for the relatively few I do want to watch; and 'Recent Threads' which lists anything that has been posted in any forum. As noted above, that box initially shows about 10 recent threads, but if I want to I can scroll down and see more. It took me a couple stabs of trial/error to get my home page set to my liking, but now it works well for my needs.
