How you browse forums

Daniel Malone · 07-04-2006, 01:38 PM

Not that it matters

, I was just wondering how everybody else browses forums! What I always do is click on "New Posts" near the top of the page, then from the pulldown menu click "Latest Posts". When I find an interesting title, I'll click it, read it, post in it, and click on "New Posts" and repeat this all over again. (silly?)
I have never gone in to every forum and looked at all the thread in them. Anyway, if you want to post here you can!

Silly? No! That's what New Posts is there for!

I usually just read the latest post thing on the board index next to each of the boards... when I'm not doing moderator duty.

When I'm doing moderator duty, I check each board, new members, their posts, check for spam, look up IP address, yada yada yada...

I do the same, but I read usually read all the new posts. Also, if I get bored, I'll look at the posts that still haven't had replies yet.

Sometimes I just scan thru the first page looking at the most recent posts.

Forum Software is getting better day to day.
I am looking at rooms, which I am interested in this very moment.
If I surf, I use the new posts.
What I am missing is still a multi-language forum, where people across all nations can post and messages will be automatically translated in a common language. ***Maybe in 2024 we have this software availble

I scan the main page, click on the forums that interest me, and then scan the posts in that forum. If I receive notice of a reply or am tracking certain threads, I'll just go directly to those threads.

I tend to look at the Website Reviews first and try to at least make sure there are none with no reviews and I look at new stuff .

but my visits come in starts and stops I may not visit for weeks depends what I'm up to.

Hi there,

I usually come on iWebTool and look at whatever I am interested in at the time, I enjoy reviewing sites, so I generally look in there all the time.

I don't really use the new posts option unless the subject catches my attention. I look for posts with no replies and things that I enjoy researching/reading/writing/etc.

Lots of people have different preference on these things, although the above is my opinion.

Some people simply spam forums, and luckily I haven't seen much of it in here.

Regards,
Kieran Taylor.
