How Many Unread Posts Do You Have?

Just a general question as the title suggests. I'm curious to know how all the ladies and fellas handle the massive history presented on the forum whether you be rookie or veteran.

When I started in February I had well over 6000 unread posts and have since made my way down to 1843. My technique is to always stay ahead of the 50 most recent posts. General browsing and other specific searches account for about 50 - 100 extra unread posts covered a day.

I may be odd for trying to read them all. What do you think? Do you read every post, or only the applicable ones?

I hate to see a number next to New Posts. So tonight when I loged on after not being on the forum for the whole day I had 487 New Posts.

Now I have "0"

Went throw all of them and read most of them. It takes time but I stay on top of whats news, and whats going on.

I put 2000 or less, since I broke 2000 for the first time earlier today, but I see it has gone slightly over again. Was on 6800 iirc when I started, which was about a month ago.

It is still possible to keep up if you are not away for extended periods. As we grow it will become more and more difficult. If I were away I would read all the posts that I think might be of interest, then mark all the others as read in one go. It would help tremendously @Gizmo if, in the window listing new posts one could select individually to be mark as read (as @Tom has remarked some time ago).

i have been away during the week, and still read some posts every night.....and I am sitting at 7439 unread posts.

Ow my goodness!! I would start to cry, get a panic attack and overload my internet connection opening as many treads at once to screen throw them till there are non left

Im at 7292 new posts

Mostly have kept it to zero

But the last few weeks it has crept up.
Now on 1,000

I read most posts, some I just scan if it's not something that interests me

PS - interesting thread @Reinvanhardt

I usually scan through the non vape related stuff like cats and such lol

I am the same. If I see a number next to unread posts my ocd kicks in and drives me nuts...have to read everything if I am I mostly skim over them to get the basics then go back and read properly later
