Reading The Forums

General Questions and Comments
Is there software out there that makes reading the forum threads easier? I find the forums very useful and valuable. However, as I dig in more and more, I find it onerous to discover threads that are 8 pages long. Does anyone use special software to view contents of the forum? There does not seem to be an RSS feed for it. thanks

Jael,

What RSS Feed Reader do you use?
I currently use Google Reader since it has a Mobile version.

An option I am seeking is the ability to see an entire thread on one page view.

I'm using Thunderbird for my RSS feeds. When you sort on subject (click on the header like Outlook) it makes it easy to follow a thread.

HI Chuck,

Do you use Thunderbird as your Email Software as well?

fchalif,

I only use Thunderbird as my RSS reader. For mail I use Outlook at work and the Gmail web interface for everything else. I'm a keyboard shortcut junkie.

Chuck,

I did try Thunderbird for a few days. I see the advantage of seeing the post directly in the reading pane.
However, I have settled on Outlook for now.
I have added the Forums as an RSS feed into Microsoft Outlook. I like it since I get to see the threads I am interested in and then go to the Forums when I want to read a complete thread.

I'll keep you posted if\when I find an alternative.
