Not that I'm an idiot & don't know how it works, but I just clicked on it & there's 2 pages of new posts for me. Would you go to the bottom of page 2?

Once you read a thread, do you click back or go to the index & click the "View New Posts" link again?

That's almost exactly what I do... The first time I read the board each day there is usually 3 pages, sometimes 2. I go to page 3, scan the threads from the bottom up. If I see one that looks interesting I glance over at the author, and some times the number of posts. I seldom pay attention to which forum it's in.

Then I hit the back (thumb) button on my mouse, and do page 2, then page 1... then hit refresh to see if there are any new posts (I check the time of the last post first), then I 'mark all forums read'..... it's not as complicated as it sounds.... really
