How does the "my activity" tab work? Specifically: when is it updated; and in what order are threads presented?
Ideally, it is updated whenever anyone posts a response to a thread that I have participated in, not necessarily initiated.
And ideally, that causes the updated thread to move to the beginning of the "my activity" list.
(I understand that I have to refresh the page to see the update.)
But I wonder: is it updated in that manner only when I post a response to such a thread?
I do not subscribe to threads that I participate in or initiated. Instead, I prefer to rely on seeing updates to the "my activity" tab.
But recently, I discovered I missed a number of follow-up questions in such threads.
The mistake might have been mine; that is, I might have simply overlooked the updates. I cannot say one way or the other.
But I want to be sure that my expectation is correct -- or not.
PS.... I do see "my activity" updates for threads that I initiate. And at least one thread reference is moved the beginning of the "my activity" list. But I'm not sure that is the case for threads that I merely participate in, but did not initiate. Should it be?
