Tracking my posts

Is it possible to track replies to a post that I raise. For example, I raised a post in another forum, people replied and then it went very quiet so my post was pushed down to page 3.

Is it possible -

To list the posts which i started / commoneted on (without using the find function each time)
Be notified when someone adds a new reply
