I now just use the Watchlist link. Easiest workaround.

Just quoting this:

This is really all there is to it:

I don't understand why anyone would not use the watchlist. You can configure the watchlist to be exactly the same as "show new replies to your posts" by configuring your posts to be auto-watched and adding your posted-in topics to your watchlist. After this is done, you can unwatch topics that you don't want to see.

Since I found this post from theymos, I stopped using "Show new replies to your posts.".
