Are you aware that there are choices available for how you read the forum?
I was about to post an update on red light hats on one of the original posts and realised I wouldn't see it because I use the default way of browsing the forum, which lists posts in the order created.
So I was about to do another post to forum admin suggesting they adopt the normal (in my experience) alternative of listing posts in the order of the most recent contributions.
And then I thought to check whether that option exists, and it does
From the menu on the front page select "posts" then "recently active."
Unfortunately it seems to flip back to the default sort, but the facility to scan recent contributions exists
