Hey, I just wanted to take a little time to give some advice on using this forum. Two big things to help make it more useful are:
1. "Show unread posts" - This feature lets you see all of the topics since your last visit with any new posts on them, all on one page. To use it, look in the top right, just above the Search Forum field. "Show unread posts since last visit." will take you to a page with the list of topics. From here, I often open each page in a new window.
2. "Mark Read" - You don't need to view every topic, and chances are that you didn't! If you've got red notification icons in the various subforums, you can regain the usability of that feature by clicking "MARK READ". This can be found in the top right of the white portion of the screen after clicking into a subforum.
Does anyone else have other usability advice? Things they do to make their visits useful and efficient that they've picked up over the years?
