Heh, we apologize.

Posts: 1382/2746		 I was curious as to who clicked the 'Other' button, and what they do instead of the above listed things.

Last posts is convenient, but simply refreshing the board and having a 'New' icon pop up is easier, in my opinion. Checking Last Posts is something I do when I'm not logged in, too. The New icons are a bot messed up until you log in. I think they display everything new if it posted in the last hour.

To keep my account in stable condition but no need to worry about it here.
Most likely the same with other boards.

Posts: 1324/2746		 I go through all of the forums the old fashioned way, and then usually mark that specific forum read and continue on through.

When I'm waiting impatiently for a response to a specific thread, I might refresh Last Posts about a hundred times until it posts.

Posts: 579/1586		 Hey that was me who inspired you!!! But clicking mark all forums read is just really easy then i leave for like an hour and when i come back there's a "NEW" next to the ones someone else responded to...like this one.

Posts: 6225/11918		 What the hell is up with the poll? I put like 5 options and when it posted it left one out. And now when I've come back to check it the first option just read "Check" as opposed to "Check Last Posts."

I think I was inspired to ask this when someone wrote something like, "I didn't even know there was a button for that" after I mentioned the Last Posts link at the top.

Well, I was also wondering why some threads would get passed up while others got a lot of traffic.

Then all the new ones have a NEW beside it. Simple!

Marking them as old is sometimes useful, but usually I'm too lazy, so I just check last posts.

This is basically what I do. Then I mark the forums read one by one as I read through them.

Posts: 574/1586		 I started by reading them all and then i just click mark all read and it shows up NEW so I just click the interesting ones.

Posts: 2749/2785		 I always check Last Posts. It's the only way I know if I'm answering something or not. Then I mark everything read, and I'm done until the next time.

Posts: 6224/11918		 Since it seems a few people don't look at Last Posts, I wondered how members were checking for new content.

Feel free to mark all that apply.
