I skim rather than reading every topic. Basically I click the "posts since last visit" link and only read topics that ring a bell or sound interesting rather than read everything. Then periodically I look at the list of my posts to pick up stuff I've commented on but haven't been back to so I see what others have added.

Take a scalpel.
Find a position where you are sitting both in front of a mirror and behind a mirror.
Use scalpel to remove a small chunk of flesh from the back of your head.
Scratch at the bone of your skull for a few hours (or just remove that section with a small saw) leaving part of your brain exposed.
Grab a USB adapter and ram it into your skull.
Take a USB cable and connect yourself to the computer.
Create drivers for yourself that integrates you directly to the website's RSS feed.

You might want a friend to help you out with this procedure.

WARNING: I, nor the forum, take any responsibility for what you may or may not do in regards to anything as stupid as the idea I mentioned above. If you truly go ahead with this idea, you've seen even more movies than I have and you're trying to get around such a simple solution as choosing the posts which interest you most.

This growth IMO highlights the importance of having appropriate and concise subject titles.

I personally tend not to look at any thread which hints of DPReview-esque subjects, ie. ones like advertising teasers which makes you want to click on it. I am against the grain and go out of my way NOT to look at those threads.... Your criterion of selective reading may differ. :)

I pretty much look at everything.

But then again I probably have to.

Especially while Dad's away.
