Read the title and if it doesn't interest you then don't click on it. Problem solved.
not from my view. so hypothetically you have one useless thread in every section of the forum when you log in. You would have to open up each section just to see if there is anything else in there besides that useless unread post.
I generally like to check the forums for new posts and open and/or read all of them so next time i see whats new.
an easy example is that post of be the last poster to win..... tell me that's something worth your time reading? but if you don't click on that damn thing that section of forums will ALWAYS show an unread post that may also be hiding a really good gem to read.
