Like, I'm trying to keep up and maybe I would participate more on the forums but I just can't keep track, how do you do it? I guess this is a general advice thread?

A lovely button called "New Posts."

Thanks, let's keep it moving.

How many forums are active in as much as EoFF? Are there any? If so tell us about them one!!!one!!one

A long time ago I was a member of the PA forum but I quit posting when the forum software turned to smurf.


Yeah, that's what I do too.

Yeah but see, I never see anything I've actually ever posted or anything anyone's responded to me to

Once I'm done with EoFF for a while I mark all the forums as read, so that when I come back all the new posts can be seen! It's like a more complex way to click "New Posts".

I'm old fashioned. I just click on each forum I want to see and then on each thread with new posts that I want to read.

This.

And then I see all the unread threads and I get discouraged and rarely ever post.

This, or I use the most recently posted thread next to the forum to decide whether I want to check the forum which is ridiculous becuase its entirely possible someone made an incredible post in another thread and I shouldnt let that stop me just because someone recently posted in the quina is awesome lulz thread

I scroll down and open every thread with unread posts one at a time :|

Refresh.

Or I simply register the thread so I can know if a new post has been made. Otherwise, I just hope there are new posts the next time I visit a thread.

I don't understand what the problem is.

I search new posts, look for threads I've been active in, and click them little arrow thing. That brings me to the first unread post of that thread.

This, but I just read any thread that catches my eye.

The problem is I'm old, and my sighting is getting bad sheesh.

You're not a lot older than I am. You just have bad eyes in general, I guess. Or bad brain, who knows?!

You should probably increase the GUI scaling, or lower the screen resolution.

So do I, but to keep track of my own posts, that's how things happen.

I open every thread with new posts and post in it if it is interesting.

I personally click on settings if i'm more concerned with threads I'm already participating in.
Clicking on settings shows me all of the threads I've posted on with new comments. Easy as pie.
If not... I just click on the forum that correlates with what I'm looking for conversation wise.

Same. I always thought it was just the given way really.

Yeah, I do this. I'm a fan of "New Posts" on smaller forums (not that I post on those anymore haha) but on a busier forum like EoFF I find it easier to go through the subforums individually.

If a thread disappears, other people did not want to talk about it. Let it sink, let it sleep.

I just reply to every single post. Often to myself.

Lately I been slacking a bit here, but I have a good enough memory to keep track of what I posted in and what I have not. Ugh, work and other real life obligations have been taking its toll, but it's all good.

When that fails, the icons beside threads will tell you if you've posted or not ;)
