Working intermittently for me now. Although I'm not entirely sure what @Aerovette's issue was.
My issue is that the link for "My recent topics" disappears. When I'm in a discussion thread, when it first loads, there's a "My recent topics" link at the top, in the gray menu bar. If I scroll down, that bar scrolls off the top. When I scroll back a little bit, there's a slightly different rendering of the same menu bar, and the "My recent topics" link is missing on that. If I scroll all the way back to the top, I get the same appearance as when the thread first loads, but again, the "My recent topics" link has disappeared.

No, not the same issue. Occasionally the My Recent Topics may not function if the search engine is stuck. It generally fixes itself in short time.
Your issue is different it may depend on your browser or perhaps a specific thread. As you can see from my screen capture, the link is not gone:
I'd suggest copy/paste a link to a specific thread you're viewing when you don't see the My Recent topics menu so that we can test.
Initial load of page After scrolling down, hit the down arrow key 3 times. Then hit page down, scroll up to bring menu into view. After all that, hit the "home" key to get back to the top.
This looks to me to likely be due to running low screen resolution. Many sites are designed to work best with X configuration and anything else may not be optimal. You appear to be running low screen resolution. Note you're actually missing more than just the My Recent topics link due to space issues with your setup.
That's probably true. However, it used to work differently. When I scrolled down and back up, I got the exact same menu bar that was present as I scrolled down. Now it changes. That's different now.
In simple terms, no matter how many times I scrolled down and back up, I got what is shown in the second image of my previous post. Now, once that one disappears, it never comes back and I get the other, more limited version when I scroll back up.
It worked fine before the latest "improvements."
Oh, and I typically have the windows about 900 pixels wide here because I like the way the text wraps on that size. Wider and the text lines get a little long for me.

OK, there's been another change, and it's improving, but getting wierder at the same time.
Now, if I hit the end key (scroll to the bottom) and hit the home key (scroll back to the top), it "toggles" the "My Recent Topics" link. I can sort of live with this, but it's definitely weird. If "My recent topics" isn't there when I hit home, hitting end, then home will bring it back. Doing that again makes it disappear.
