I just skim through from the beginning and read the ones for each day that I am interested in. If it's one I've read before and want to read the newest posts I go to the end and page backward til I find the ones I've read before and go on from there. I'm pretty new and I'm sure there are more efficient methods but this works for me. Hope you are able to work things out so you aren't feeling so frustrated with the forum and can begin to enjoy it once again.
