I use the "view new topics" button to go over new stuff. I'll occasionally also use the "view your posts" button to go over things I've posted in to see if I didn't notice a new post. This saves much browsing through the various boards.

Problem is, the board insists on a wait period before the other search. I can only assume this is to stop bots or trolls or something, but is it really necessary?

I agree its a bit annoying but not a big deal. Mostly when I forget to tick Posts rather than Topics, but I just count to five and its fine to resubmit. About half its current time setting might be sufficient to make it unnoticeable.
