I know Hikari doesn't do this because he manually clears it with his uber reading, but do you guys use the "Mark Forums Read" link? I do or else I get drowned in unread threads...lol.
I check by forum. Start usually in the Mod area, then the Windows area, the go back from the top.
With my amount of posts and threads posted in, subscriptions had to be disabled. I had well over 4,00 PAGES at one point i think. I dont remember. It was a ton.
I'm gonna try what you guys do with the subscription method. This being my 4th forum I've been to over the past few years (second that is vbulletin, other site was bmx-forum.com) I've never used this feature.
