    Default Can't catch up

    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.
    Bow before the mighty Javoo!

    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 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.
