A clever way to browse these forums

[casts_by_fly]

Hi All,

 

I know everyone has their own way to browse, whether just clicking through as is, using the 'new content' buttons, etc.  My routine was to open the browser on the main page, and then open new tabs for each of the forums I'm interested in.  Once they were open, I'd use the first main page and mark all as read.  That way I know if there is new stuff I want to read or haven't read yet.

 

I just found a speedier way to do this.  In your 'favorites' in your browser, create a new folder (mine is titled BR page opening).  Then inside that folder create a shortcut for each of the sub forums that you normally read.  Then the next time you are browsing the forums, just right click on the new folder and click 'open all'.  You'll now have all of the sub forums open and ready to browse.  I still then mark all as read on the main page which doesn't affect the other tabs.  

 

Hope this helps someone.

I just click 'Unread'.  The only time I even recognize there are sub-forums is when I am creating a new thread.

I just created a custom stream using the options

Items Only, Topics, Unread, Past 1 Week, Newest First.

Then bookmarked that....

I think I understand 'bookmark'.  I've done that before...(though I don't think I've ever gone to use one on my phone).  But the custom stream part...uh...no clue

Far as bookmarks - since I use Firefox on all my devices (desktop, netbook, phone, tablet) I have the bookmarks/logins synced so I when I add/delete/change something on one device, it propagates automatically to the others.
