It's just come to my attention that this is not common knowledge, so I wanted to point it out to save y'all some time:

Easy and Fast Way to Find Responses to Your Posts:

When you see the forum title, there's an arrow on the right-hand side that shows you that there are responses. Click on the arrow to be taken directly to the post you need to see~! ^__^

Holy cow, I didn't even know that all this time, thanks!
I have no clue what you are talking about.

YOU PUSH LITTLE MOVING ARROW IN MAGIC WINDOW; CLICK BUTTON ON OTHER LITTLE ARROW; SEE PEOPLE TALK BACK AT YOU!

Clearer? =D

It also should probably be noted that this will generally take you to (if I remember right) the most recent unread response in a give thread. I know there were several times during the Double Insomnia sale that I missed replies in the sale tracker thread because one or more other people's replies came later on the same as-yet-unread-by-me page. Not a big problem in most normal threads, but still, something about this feature that people should be aware of.

I don't see any arrows anywhere.

You get a notification when you have forum replies (like this one!) There will be an arrow on the right side of this topic title showing that you have a reply in the topic. If you click on the ARROW instead of the topic title, you'll be taken directly to the response, instead of the last page of the thread. VERY handy for fast-moving topics!

It works! (I mean the arrow, not tinyE, not that tinyE doesn't work, because he does)

Thanks for pointing that out. :) +1

I honestly can't tell if you're trollin' or not here; if you're not, I apologize for my earlier post. I'll answer seriously this time:
You know the little "arrow in a star" icon that appears on the left side of any post someone's quoted you in? That same icon will appear on any General Discussion (or whatever other forum here) page containing a topic where you have one or more unread replies. Look for it on the right side of the thread title. As colleen said, clicking it will take you to an unread post in that thread (and as I pointed out above, not necessarily the ONLY unread post in the thread...but an unread post nonetheless =) ).

That's the first step. If you click on THAT arrow, you'll see a list of all of the unread replies you have. Click on the arrow on the right-hand side of the topic title instead of on the topic title itself, and you'll be taken to your reply. :)
Done, and here I am ^__^

just to be clear, are you saying you see a list of topics with unread replies? or a list of replies in a single thread?

I often click My Posts but if there are multiple replies in a single thread there is no way to determine which one to go to

Yes, from the My Posts section, if you see an arrow on the right-hand side of the topic title, click on the arrow instead of the topic title. As HutchBluntley said here, it will only take you to ONE of your replies in that thread. You'll just have to look around to see if there are more in that particular topic.

I see what you are talking about but I did't want to waste any more of the forums time with my lump of coal formerly known as a brain. :P Hand to god I had no idea there was an arrow there; I just thought it was a cute little cog or something.

Let this be a lesson to all of you kids out there! Stay in school, go to church, and don't dedicate your life to Diablo 2 or you'll end up like me!
for the sake of completeness then as people may be unaware: the cog icon with the exclamation mark shows all posts by blues (and only posts by blues) within the relevant thread
