What you might want to try is rather than navagating the site via the Forums list to use two things...
1. Your control panel. This will show you threads you subscribed to that have new messages. I have my options set to auto-subscribe to any thread that I post in. I have email notifications turned off.
2. The "New Posts" link. This will show you any new posts. Go into your control panel options and at the bottom you can ignore the forums you are not interested in. No new messages will show that are in forums that you ignore in your CP. Also, as you are browsing threads with new messages you can ignore any threads you just don't care about. After that you won't see these threads any more.
3. If you are out of new messages to read in the forums you don't ignore you can then go browse any forums to see what your new posts link might have missed.
The above is how I consume MR and I barely ever visit the forum list other than to possible see how busy various forums are.
