Wow, iggMAN. That's a name that I haven't personally seen in a while.

Good to see ya.
As for your question...Are you subscribing to the RPs that you want to watch? At the bottom left of each thread, there is an option to subscribe to a thread. Once you subscribe to it, it's added to your subscriptions for easy access. To access your subscriptions, go to your User Control Panel. Once you are on the main screen of your UCP, click on "Manage Subscriptions" on the left from the menu. In that list should be all the threads that you subscribe to. When you subscribe to a thread, you get an email each time someone posts in it, helping you keep up with activity. I subscribe to every RP I'm in so that I will stay up to date on when people post in it, and so I don't forget about it.

I also use the "View Your Posts" button. I WORSHIP that button, and flipped out when Eric messed with it one time. The point of that button is to keep up with all the topics that you have actually posted in. When others post in them, they jump to the top, just like on the forum. There are a ton of threads that I only posted in once and I have no more interest in them. It annoys me when someone posts in them and they pop up to the top of my list since I no longer care about them. I don't want to see them, because I already said what I have to say. But, that is what that button is for. It keeps up with topics you've posted in, no matter how old. If you don't post in a lot of topics, then they will all be old ones. My suggestion is to stick with the subscriptions because you can add and remove the topics that you subscribe to.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other issues.
