How do people read this board?

Is there a way to get the board to show you just the messages you _haven't_ read?

I can mark everything read one day, but the next day, it'll show me topics with new posts, i guess, but then it shows the all the posts, making it hard to pick off where you left off.

I honestly can't stand web forums. Horrible usability.

Sorry for venting, it's just that there is really good info here.
