Yep, also there is a timeout cut off (you might be able to adjust in settings) and when caught up and you click again on new posts, it shows you posts that were updated since the last time you clicked it.

I've never used it either. Just gave it a try but I don't think I like browsing TRF that way

It's so weird. I've always used it this way and can't imagine going sub forum by sub forum.

Then checking those for replies.

With new posts, just just click on it again and it refreshes al from last time you've clicked.

vBulletin of this generation used to have a portal extension that would pretty much show you the x number of most recent posts, along with some boxes with various Info, birthdays, calendar, etc.

And I'm so surprised that not everyone uses it this way.

Thanks a lot my friend. I found it yesterday but it's not for me. I'll keep visiting open discussion first, then any subforum where I'm having a conversation with someone or where I started a thread, like Watches (Non-Rolex) Forum this week.

Agree. You have sales ads mixed with posts from subforums I never visit like Breitling, AP, Patek etc so it's not a good option for me.

So I always, here and on other forums, go to

New posts link (or today's posts) and scroll over topics that don't get my attention and read those that do, regardless which subforum they belong to.

On Tapatalk, it's the timeline link.

What about you?
Do you do the same or do you read only specific topics?

Maybe I should make this a poll...
It’s exactly what I do as well ...
Great minds think alike ...

Very interesting!
Thought everybody surfed TRF that way. A great way to enjoy every aspect of the forum if you choose to.
