i use opera, and i use tabbed windows exclusively. i goto one forum, middle click (open new window in backgrond) all the orange posts (new), hit back, then do the same on all the rest of the forums with new posts. then i minimize that window, and then i start reading one post, closing the window, next post automatically shows, til everything is parsed. i hate it when i don't have opera, but i do a similar thing in IE.
