I think what bugs me even more than the various forums issues are the people who keep claiming that something has been fixed when it obviously hasn't been fixed at all.

Yeah. The my content page hasn't changed at all since I first found it, and at this point it's gone from "new forum, give it time" to "why has this not been fixed?" At this point, it's nearly as bad as having NO feature to find threads I've posted in, and it feels like it's been as long as I had to go without "view my posts".
I use My Content as is and it hasn't bothered me any.
Really? Huh. I just can't stand it, 'cause I hate having to go through tons of pages (many of which seem to have been reset, so it shows new posts when I know for a fact there are none) to find threads I've posted on, especially when threads are added in nonsensical spots and never move from them.

The fact that everything is marked as unread was a side effect of the move. If you just mark everything as read, your problems will go away.
Also, you can go to any specific subforum and, at the bottom, select to filter to only topics you've posted in.
The issue isn't the fact that everything is marked as unread. The issue is that nothing in the "my content" section is organized by the date of the last post, and that no threads that you've posted in since the move show up in it either.I've posted in at least a dozen new threads since the move to the new forums and not a single one has shown up in "my content" section.
Not to mention that at this point, marking everything as unread is going to do me no good as there are already plenty of threads that have gotten new replies, but I have no way of knowing that they did.

I don't know why that's happening for you, but all of my new posts appear.

You should be able to recognize a thread that you want to read by its title, and if you can't, you can always look at the date of the last post. And once you do mark all as read, if the thread is good, someone will post in it again, and it will stand out as unread. If the thread dies, it's no great loss.

I have 25 pages in my content. Going through that looking for a thread to see if it has new posts would be slower than manually checking the 3 forum sections I am normally in, because that would be around 10-15 pages. My content should make finding things easier, if it doesn't, it isn't working right.
It should be sorted by last post, so that I don't have to manually go through each forum to find new posts.

I've found that all of my new posts have only been in the first and last 3 or 4 pages. Everything in between is just stuff from months ago.

I've completely lost multiple threads looking in the My Content, and can only assume they are somewhere in the middle. If recent posts are landing on the first and last few pages, it is fairly safe to assume that they are also landing somewhere in the middle as well.

About half of my new threads are towards the back, the roughly other half are towards the front, and there are a bunch scattered in the middle areas. It's just not feasible for me to go through 18+ pages to find the threads I've posted in when the feature should work right. Right now, I don't care if there's a workaround; I want it fixed.
Ack, I just marked the whole forum as read while trying to figure out how to mark "my content" as read. How do I do it?
I don't like how when you look at your profile and only a few of the posts you post show up. The reason the "view your posts" feature is gone is because it is a phpbb forum feature, for whatever stupid reason the server was transfered over to and IPB board, which does not have said feature. There are many reasons that IPB is inferior to phpbb and this is just a smaller one.

WUT.
It makes what was once an easy way to keep track of one's threads, a cumbersome and frustrating task.
I'll say thank you when things work properly. Right now the state of things is just shameful, and I don't really feel inclined to be thanking people.
