Its a lifesaver! Go to My Profile, Edit Options. Then scroll all the way down to the bottom of the sceen, its the very last selection.

I forget whether you x the ones you want or dont want!

Then DONT FORGET TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PAGE.

Then, a beautiful list of new posts! Cuz you can always just go thru the forums one by one - but again, you will only see your selected forums.
