In Chrome or Firefox, you can inspect (Ctrl+Shift+I) a page. A console opens, then Ctrl+Shift+M to bring up a device toolbar where you can change the page's responsiveness to emulate mobiles and tablets.
Yeah, that function's not present currently. There are workarounds using browser extensions. You'd add a line in those for every threadId you want to ignore -- in one of those themes floating around (e.g., li#thread-1234567 { display: none; }) or your filters (e.g., hfboards.mandatory.com##li#thread-1234567). ThreadId's are found right in the URL, as you'll see in your address bar that this is thread 2391611 and you'd just replace the random 1234567 with that.
If you watch many threads that you don't reply to, then this workaround won't help much, but otherwise, go: Preferences > Options > Automatically watch threads that you create or when you reply... and then you'll see reading glasses where pins and locks appear normally, indicating your watched/reply threads.
Another tip, watch the News & Announcements forum and set it up for alerts on new messages. You won't miss any notes @Buffaloed posts there that way. I'd also recommend watching any forum via alerts where you'd be interested in new threads appearing. Maybe you like voting in every poll or waging small vCash on every event, that's an easy way to stay on top of that. I could've said Trade as an example, but I can see silly proposal and value alerts becoming a nuisance just to stay up to date on confirmations w/links, recognized source info, etc. If they were tied to the prefix, like maybe thread icons should be, then I'd definitely recommend those alerts, but to each their own.
