Two different things:

If someone resurrects a 2 year old thread, it goes to the top.
If no one posts to a NEW thread, it drops down the list, so you may never see it.
It includes ALL the forums, even those of no interest to you, and
it also includes the threads with recent posts that you've already decided you weren't interested in,
but you still have to wade through all that as well.
So, really kind of useless.
Totally different from using the Archives (link included in my post upthread).
By viewing the new threads only and your subscribed threads, you never have to look at anything you've already decided to pass over.
Way more time efficient.

Click on your username at top of page.
On the right you can choose All threads you've started. If there are new posts to the thread since your last visit they will have a green arrow on the left.
Directions on how to set this up - so it's only
ONE click away with
just the newly posted-to subscribed threads - were also provided upthread.
