@bonnielu If you click on your notification it will take you to your post. Also, you can click on your name and it will show all of your posts. What I do when I start a post is after I've posted it I click on "topic options," then "float this topic for current user." It will put that post at the top of all of the posts under that forum and you can always find it.
When you no longer need to have it at the top of the forum, click on "topic options" again, then "unfloat this topic for current user."
