I just got back from my trip (much fun) and I can't even make it through my subscribed threads let alone catch up with the rest of the forum.

What do you do when you've been gone for a while? Do you try to catch up or do you just let it go? What are some of the things that help you catch up if you do?

I have this problem nearly every weekend. xD I tend to do most of my browsing during weekdays while I play XIV on weekends, and this means that I pop in on Monday and go "Oh boy, lots to check."

I start with my subscribed threads, picking out threads that I want to read most or want to stay on top of. Then I check the staff forum, and the XIV forum, and then just use New Posts after that as I browse what people are talking about right now.

I just don't bother.

Likewise. I have a ton of subscribed threads I haven't looked at in a while. I just browse through the new posts search for threads now.

I read Shorty's marvellous community update threads and failing that I just mark forums read and forget about it

I never have this problem because I am here constantly.

I have been posting for a little over two years constantly now, which is a record for me. Whenever I came back beforehand, I didn't worry about catching up. Just joined in the fray wherever and went from there.

This is why I don't subscribe to active threads.

Are you kidding me? I can't even catch up on a day to day basis.

I suck.

Search my name to find threads where I was quoted so I can respond if I want, then just go to new posts and see what's happenin'

As I quote it a few days late. I'm usually mobile lurking at work so I never post then I forget to later.
