Hello everyone. I am new to TFF and am trying to figure something out.
How and where can I see the threads that I have created? Is there a list in my profile somewhere. I have started 4 now and have been keeping multiple windows open with those threads in them so i don't have to go looking for them.

In the search function you can type your screen name in where it says username and click on the threads button. This should bring up all of them that you started.

All you need to do to see what threads you posted in, is to look for a Diamond shaped Icon on the right side of any post topic. If the Icon is there and has a Check Mark in it, you either started the post, or replied to the OP.

Either way, the Icon indicates your are involved in that particular post.

On the New Post page, to the right of the Threads Title ( internet gone? is one ), if you started it, or posted in it, the Icon will be on the same row next to where the name of the last person who posted is.

As you can see, the Icon is to the left of Bobitis, with a check mark. That means I have a post inside that thread.

By default you should receive an email listing updates on any thread you have posted to.

Click on User CP on the upper left of any page, and in the Messaging and Notification section you will see this:

Do not subscribe No email notification Instant email notification Daily email notification Weekly email notification Default Thread Subscription Mode:

with a drop-down box with options for thread update notifications. You automatically subscribe to a thread when you post to it.

You can also subscribe to a sub-forum and receive notification whenever new threads are added or old threads are added to in that topic. Click Thread Tools on the upper right of any page and select "Subscribe to this Forum". You should get update notifications for that topic or section in your email.

Lots of free Screen Capture programs out there. I use one called PicPick, free.
Sits in your Task Bar...tiny footprint. Lots of other tools come with it.

someplace on your keyboard there should be a key that says "print screen" or "prt sc" or something like that. Press that key, then...

Open microsoft Paint and click "paste", and an image of your screen should appear. You can select "crop" to select the part of the picture you want, cut it, and paste as new image. Save it as a .jpg.
