Sorry for the long post... I could probably have done this much simpler... with visual help like screenshots and what not... but I ended up doing it this way... XD
I hope it is atleast understandable... XD

Not sure if someone made this suggestion before or if is technically possible, but due to the high volume of conversations it's impossible to keep track of the conversations we're in.
It would be great (not sure if possible) if when you enter into your "recent posts" section in your profile, the link to a conversation sent you to your last comment in this thread (I mean the page of the thread where your last post is), this way we could review everything from where we left it, instead of surfing through the pages trying to find what was the last thing I read about this thread last time I visited this forum.
Now someone smarter than me will tell me that this is currently possible and I'll look like an idiot haha
Just a suggestion
and thanks.
This actually already exist.... maybe not exactly as you want though, since it's not inside your "recent posts" section.
Although... you might already know what I am about to say below, and if so then sorry for repeating something you already know... but I will explain how it works anyway, just in case, and for others benefit as well.

First - When your on the main page of the forum (where your have the option for sub-forums, which currently are
"News",
"Cyberpunk 2077 Discussion",
"Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk®", and
"Fan Art") you can see if there are new posts in each of those main threads based on the small circle to the left of the main threads name.
There are two icons.
1st icon: A yellow ring which is empty inside = no unread posts in this thread.
2nd icon: A yellow ring which has a yellow lightning across it = there are unread posts inside it.
As a sidenote, just below the last main thread, in the middle, you can find the text "Mark Channels Read"... pressing that will do just that for everything (including inside the sub-forums).

Second - When you are inside one of the sub-forums (let's say it is the
"Cyberpunk 2077 Discussion" just for the sake of it, but it works the same in each sub-forum) there are some several ways the page shows you info about each individual thead.
One of these is that each threads name will be a different colour based on if there are undread posts or not. If the threads name is in yellow, then it is a new thread entirely, and/or there are new posts in the thread, which you have not read yet. If the text is light blue'ish, then you have already read all available new posts in said thread. Pressing the name, no matter the colour, will as we all know take you to the first post in the thread.
There are also 5 different icons (in 3 different locations), as far as I can tell as well.
Icon location 1: furthest to the left of each thread post.
1st icon: A yellow ring which is empty inside = no unread posts in this thread.
So exactly the same as the one for the main thread page, but on top of that it also means that you have not posted any posts in this thread. The threads name will also be in the blue'ish colour, which as mentioned indicated no new posts.
2nd icon: A yellow ring which has a yellow lightning across it = there are unread posts inside it.
So, again, exactly the same as the one for the main thread page, but on top of that it also means that you have not posted any posts inside this thread. The threads name will be yellow, which as mentions also indicated that there are new posts inside it.
3rd icon: A yellow ring which has a single yellow left pointing arrow inside it = you have posted messages inside this thread.
And if you place your mouse cursor on the icon it will tell you how many posts you have posted, and when the last one was. However... this icon does not take into account if there are new posts or not in the thread... so as long as you have posted something inside a thread this icon will always be shown no matter if there are new posts or not. At this point you have to look at the colour of the threads name to see if there are new posts or not (so as mentioned yellow text = yes, and blue'ish text = no)... but you can also look for the 4th icon that I will mention below.
Icon location 2: inbetween the threads name and the icon furthest to the left.
4th icon: a yellow circle with two downward pointing arrows inside it = if you press this you will be taken to the first of your unread posts inside this thread.
This icon will only ever apear if there are new posts which you have not read yet in the thread... so if you do not see this icon there are no new posts in the thread.
Icon location 3: furthest to the right where you see who the last person was to post inside each thread (after the date and time)
.
5th icon: a yellow rectangle with two right pointing arrows inside it = if you press this icon you will be taken to the last posts of the thread.
This icon will always be there no matter if there are new posts or not in the thread.
- - -
Something to keep in mind. No matter how you enter a thread (be it by pressing the threads name, or pressing the yellow cirle with the two downward arrows, or by pressing the yellow rectangle with the two right pointing arrows, or any other way from anywhere else)... and even if you went to a page where the new posts where not in, no matter if you actually read the lasts posts or not... the thread will automatically be considered to have been read (so the text will be blue, and either icon 1 or 3 will be shown (depending on if you have posted in it or not), and icon 4 will not be shown anymore either).
