Thanks for the user CP. It's indispensable, that and 'forum spy' really help me navigate the site with great ease. I know its an old feature but I just really wanted to thank you guys for it.
Got a tip for us?

I <3 User CP as well. 
However, the one thing I would still like to see is a "refresh" option for threads. Ok, I realize that makes no sense, so let me explain:
Sometimes when I view my subscriptions, I don't have the time to see all of them, and when I log out, User CP assumes I viewed all of them and considers them "read" even if I haven't. Thus, I'm unable to view the last post I read and have to go back and find my way through the thread the old fashioned way.
This one addition would really make User CP awesome.
BTW, I like 'New Posts' better than Forum Spy now. It's easier to see more threads that way.

If you're not on a public computer and you can maintain your internet connection, you can open the buddy list window from Quick Links. It auto-refreshes and will keep you from being logged out after the usual 15-minute limit from last activity.
Not perfect, but it is a little tip that took me a long time to figure out...helps let me pop in for just a few minutes to check on things and then be able to come back later to catch up on everything else I've missed since the previous day.

forum spy is usually the first mr page i'll visit, then user cp and finally the front page. i sometimes miss some big events that way.
Tells you which of your "buddies" are on. The Forum Spy will also have a yellow highlight if a buddy made a post, and I'm sure there are other things.
never knew that...
Fine Mr. Rolly-eyes
p), how about this: The Buddy List also allows you to send PMs to multiple users easier.
There's a feature if your buddy list is open, to send out a PM to the people you've selected (there's a checkbox IIRC).
The buddy list is also a good way of ensuring only a select group of people can contact you via PM.
Yeah, but it's mean spirited to do that. I prefer to get PMs from anyone and everyone.
