Could you make it so that you can take topics off your updated topics list? I'm really getting pissed at having posted in "what music are you listening to?"
Not really, no. ._.
Just skip them. I use the "Read recent topics" feature with a few modified settings. The link is: http://forum.chaos-project.com/index.php?action=unread;all;start=0;sort=last_post
This pretty much does it. I just look what's new everywhere and after there is nothing more interesting, I just hit the "Mark all messages as read" button.
