My best tip is that I always use the "Last Day" button in the left frame. I like the view that I get of the board from here. It shows all of the subjects, the names of all of the most recent members posting under the subjects, & the first line of the text of their posts. Especially good if you're short on time. You can get a good idea of whether this is something you're interested in reading at the moment.

I am still having problems viewing the left side of the boards. Right now all I see is an entire screen for Misc. Questions. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
