How many new posts?

4,005

 

You better get busy.

 

Unfortunately, a great majority of the stuff here I have no interest in. But the stuff I AM interested in is wonderfully debated and beaten to death.

 

8,491.

Like others, I just click on the ones I'm interested in. But every couple days I open the political thread and it knocks a couple thousands off that number

 

6775. I had no idea what it even meant till now. I won't ever make it. There's too much shit I have absolutely no interest in reading.

 

I just reset it to 0

 

I was around 450, but cut that number by over half by hitting the most recent page of the politics thread and hitting "unread posts" again. It saves me a step when the mods close that thread.

 

What's the value of getting it to zero? Isn't it useful to know what you've read?

 

It's back to 117 in about 3 hours.

There is no value to clearing the number, it just gets a bunch of posts I was never going to read off the list.

2,661, but have never considering accessing posts that way. I click the New icon on threads to jump in where I leave off.
