Topic Blocker?
 

Is there a way to block posts that I am not interested in, rather than having to plow through several pages of stuff which may be interesting to some, but not to me?

Thanks

Do you check the "New Posts" link? You can easily choose the threads with new entries based on your preferences.

If I understand your idea, won't that lead to a long list of unread posts?

The New Posts button prioritizes threads according to you. You can easily see only what's new separated from those threads you've visited before. You can easily just glance at them and visit only those of interest to you.

Under "Quick Links" there is a "Mark Forums Read" to all. You then can revisit those specific forums when needed

I'm not a knowledgeable Parker guy, but frequently find informative and occasionally important ;) tidbits in threads which, by the title alone, seem uninteresting. Certainly some posters are worth quickly checking, like Brian or Dave Noreen.
