Best way to consume info from FT?
Forgive me if this is in the wrong forum (my only other thought was to put it in community)...
I'm curious how other folks choose to keep on top of the plethora of new info posted to FT, short of spending 24 hours reading every new post!
I've subscribed to certain forums of interest in my RSS reader so that I can glance through new threads and visit those that I'd like to read in more detail....often following that up with a subscription to these interesting threads so that I can receive emails with the subsequent posts (which I often find to be not ideal, since I only see the new posts in the emails and have to go back to the full site to re-read previous posts for context). There's always going to my subscribed threads on the website, seeing which have new content and clicking on First Unread.
Anybody have better methods or by chance are there any tools out there specifically tailored to read FT more efficiently? I'm thinking of creating one for myself, but don't want to re-invent the wheel if someone has already done so!
Thanks in advance...

Using the My FT to scan all sucribed threads and forums seems to be the best cockpit there is to keep track of FT.
RSS is an option but not really satisfying. Boardreader.com give you the option to track topics across a number of bbs (it scans FT/VFT/MP/etc). An example: http://boardreader.com/s/chase%20united.html
Understandbly not all forums allow unlimited access/download of content as they live from ad-revenue, hence FTs refusal to connect to tapatalk like apps.
