I don't use filters. don't know how to even set them up. But I'm am incredibly fast reader (well past a page a minute) and I'm a great skimmer. Fic posts in fandoms other than BtVS/AtS I normally skip. Posts that are long paragraphs and poorly formatted I tend to skip because it's just too hard to read.

I normally don't have too much trouble keeping up. My biggest problem is reading long fanifc and/or leaving fb. I don't always have the time.

I don't like rich text. I can't figure out the coding so I'd rather do it myself.

Have fun in Austin!
