I've been a member here for years, but seldom visited the site. I found it too overwhelming with the high activity and some threads being hundreds of pages deep. But I'm leaving the more modest confines of CycloneReport where there was a single board with an activity level low enough you can read or at least scan every post. Not so on this site.
So how do folks deal with the mass of posts on this site? Do you say go to the specific board of interest and just dwell on topics there?
I've tried just checking out recent posts, but that is kind of all over the place. I'm looking for a plan of attack.
When done reading a thread, I'd also like to know the best way to jump back to the recent posts or the specific message board. On CycloneReport there is a Return to Message button, which take you back to the message list and mark the open thread as read. Using the back button doesn't mark the thread as read. I think that aspect is similar on this board, but there is no Return to Message List button. It seems it takes multiple clicks to get back to the list. So how do folks navigate such that threads are marked as read when you leave them?
