During MOC, I usually don't click to view NEW POSTS until I've navigated to the Month of Challenges 10 Forum and gone into the MOC Layouts subforum. Once there, I click on MARK FORUMS READ. I then choose MOC Layouts and mark them as read. That way, it reduces the amount of new content that will come up when I chose NEW POSTS. Be careful not to click MARK ALL FORUMS READ. If you do that, it clears out ALL the new posts throughout the entire forum. This method works with any sub-forum here at TLP.
This tip was posted a few years ago as well and it was one of the most helpful tips for navigating the forums during MOC. Thanks for passing it onto anyone who doesn't already do this!
