Mr. Kung had a good idea to change the title of the "Participated" button (they call it a button) in the upper right to "Latest Posts." That place isn't really a list of the latest posts, but more of a list of new things in threads you've posted in...or something like that. I don't think anyone really knows. But it's certainly useful for finding new posts.
Whatever the case may be, I haven't found a way to change the name of that button. I suspect that is hard-wired. But in searching for a way, I ran into other info.
For instance, down in the "Board Information & Statistics" section at the bottom of the page (when viewing it from the home page) there is a link for "Recent Threads" and "Recent Posts."
With the Recent Posts list, you receive not a summation but an actual list of the full recent posts. You can even reply to them by hitting the "Quote" button and you'll be conveniently dumped right into that thread. And I found that I could put a link to this in the menubar titled just "Recent."
There's also a Recent Threads link that gives you more of a summation. That could be put in the menubar as well. I just need people to try both and see what they find most useful. I think probably just having the Recent Post menu item (named "Recent") will suffice.
We could have both there for convenience if we wanted.

I just checked out Recent Threads and Recent Posts, and they could be handy. The Recent Threads lists a series of recent posting, and the Recent Posts actually includes them. To respond you have to go to the thread, but at least you can read them all in one place and decide which ones you want to respond to.

The Recent Posts and Threads lists are useful. I will just have to remember they are under the "Site News" heading.

As noted in my post, Mr. Kung, the "Recent Post" listing can be obtained by clicking the "Recent" menu item at the top. That should make it much more convenient. If, after further experience, anyone thinks it is desirous to have the "Recent Threads" inserted as a menu item as well, I can do so.

This is true in regards to "Recent Threads." For "Recent Posts" — as I already noted above — you can click the "Quote" button in the "Recent Posts" list, post your reply, and it will land you right in that thread.

The nearby Participated item also works well. It lists items instead of including them, much like the difference between Recent Threads and Recent Posts.
