Am I the only person that navigates the forum by clicking: "Show unread posts since last visit", ctrl+Click the link in each thread (starting from the last page up) and then scan the posts? It works great from home and the office...
I think I only really miss something when I visit the site from a new system.
Oh, my poor, poor friend. This is the way I do things as well, but let me tell you: I stopped complaining about the incomplete results that "Show unread posts" generates. Maybe it has improved since the recent upgrade (forum software), but I'd miss out on huge discussion because the "Show unread posts" function was woefully inadequate.
Now, I just accept fate. I have put my hands in the power of the forum software.
