Hi,
Your threads still exist, but there is no longer a comprehensive list available to you. This is by design.
If you want this feature to return, post in this thread and we'll see if the forums team will actually listen to their users for once:
I wish I had better news for you.

I think you can still get them by another method.

As mentioned here http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/3ec86626-af64-4c04-b3e9-87fd2fcc420c/how-can-i-see-all-the-threads-i-have-an-alert-to?forum=transactsql you can view older threads via the My Alerts option. That will show you all threads which you've posted, replied to or simply marked to receive alerts from (assuming you haven't removed alerting from them obviously). Checking my profile I can see threads I've interacted with going back to July 2010.

An interesting idea, but this doesn't solve the problem if you haven't set alerts for all of your threads. I only see a single page worth of threads in My Alerts.
You can acutually do a seach using you user name on bing. If you are looking for a particular posting you the topic and/or title of the posting.
Yes, but can you remember the title or descriptive words from a post you made a year ago? I know I sure can't.

Yeah.. and a POOR design, IMNSHO.
What is the point of having a "My Threads" view if I can't look at ALL of My Threads!

Mike, agreed it's far from perfect but I use a google search with my name in quotes along with some text I'm looking for at site:social.technet.microsoft.com quite a bit.

If you perform a Search on your username that should show you everything. Thats what I am doing anyway to find my past posts.
Using what engine? I've yet to find anything that will return every thread I've posted in.Don't retire TechNet! - (Don't give up yet - 12,575+ strong and growing)

Instead of limiting threads to 60 days the better idea will be to have a forum's filter for the threads. So, we would be able to retrieve threads of the particular forum.
And another useful filter will be to get threads where your post is marked as a solution.
