Best Technique for reading Sonar X Forum

Like most people, I can't keep up with all the threads. I like the idea of Sub topics, but I'll probably want to review them anyway so I'm not convinced that will help. Not faster but better organized.
 
I'm trying to find the quickest way to scroll through the threads and reading the ones that interest me. The problem I find is that if I find an interesting (to me) post halfway down, and read it, go back to the top, then I have to scroll down again, find that post to get my place and then scroll for the next post I'm interested in. Yes you can click on the "next thread", but that is still slow compared to scrolling quickly down the forum.
 
Am I missing an easier way!

    I actually never have thought about it before your post. But what I do is scroll down the list, opening each topic I find interesting in a new tab.
    Until I'm sure I've scanned over all topics with new info since my last visit.
     
    Then i just read the tabs one by one. (refreshing before reading to catch any late posts)
     
    Works for me...

    Your better off staying away form the forum after a new release as there is so much nonsense going on.

    I usually just "Subscribe" to threads (top right corner of the thread) and set it up to get a notification in my inbox if someone replies. Additionally, if you click the [POSTS] menu button in the navigation bar at the top, there is a section for "Subscribed Posts", so you can return the topics you subscribed to more easily.
     
    Even still I have a hard time keeping up, but it definitely helps me to return to the topics I knew I was participating in at one point at least.

    To add I guess, if you set "Subscribe to this Thread" as "Bookmark Only", it will just show up under that POSTS menu and not spam your inbox.

    Thanks Ryan for the tip. I'll try that too.
