I was interested how you guys read the STM forum. Especially for all the heavy-responders (Zeno, Mr.Green, Stackman, Maynzie, cmdeal and others): all the threads you are following. How do you keep up or read them in some make-sense way?
So what's your best way to read STM forum and subscribed threads?
I've subscribed to several threads via instant email, but seems to flood my inbox too much.
Haven't found any place where I can see threads I've subscribed to.
Love to hear your approach too...
I use my mobile (the tapatalk app) a lot, there is a section called "participated" that shows all the threads you have participated in.
P.S. you can subscribe to threads at set it to email once a day, which makes things a lot more manageable.
Haha, have found a place where I can see all the subscribed threads together under Settings > Subscriptions.
http://stmforum.com/forum/subscription.php?folderid=0
Hope someone will find this useful too...
I have also bookmarked some of the members whose posts I really enjoy, and usually start off there to see what they've been talking about, and then I'll read the new posts section, then search the Traffic Sources -> Mobile section.
As an example of what I mean with bookmarks: http://stmforum.com/forum/member.php?150-Mr-Green <--- go there and you'll see Mr G's threads! #stalkingSTM
And you can also see started threads just from your favorite user:
Just like from Mr. Green. Fantastic!
I just open every thread that I haven't caught up with yet, using a couple of custom-setup CSS mods for the site done in Stylist, plus the Firefox MultiLinks extension.
Tends to mean I start out with 150 or so tabs open, but that way I catch up with everything.
I just use the Timeline section on the Tapatalk mobile app to catch up on recent posts.
I nearly always use it on desktop, so I first always go to Quick Links > Subscribed Threads, then I go to New Posts (it's in the top left). Otherwise browse each subforum separately.
I liked to click the "new posts" tab which is around the top left section under the "Forum" tab. It shows all the most recent activity that can be missed easily, but yeah I'm always hovering around each sub forum as well can't believe how many gems I've missed over the years that get dug up at a later date haha!
Great thread idea here mastering STM reading coverage is an art on its own haha
