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."
Yeah, that's what I do too.
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 but see, I never see anything I've actually ever posted or anything anyone's responded to me toQuote:

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.
when i go to the forums i look at the threads i want to look at? i'm not a crazy avid poster though so take my advice with a grain of salt
Yeah but that....augh well anyways i guess i'll just try and keep track

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 threadQuote:

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.
Proto is always helpful.

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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.Quote:

I just reply to every single post. Often to myself.
That's how we become spammers PG.
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 ;)
