  • How do YOU Select which posts you read each day?

    Where do you go to read posts on the ADBB?

    Do you go to where it says “New Posts”? Do you scan the forums for only topics or categories that you are interested in?
    Do you just hit the journals…or just read posts from your “friends”? Do you newbies know that you can be informed of new posts to threads you have posted in? You can be emailed when a new post is made. (You go to the Quick Links drop down box and select “Edit Options”. Go to Messaging & Notification. Go to Default Thread Subscription Mode. Choose “Instant Email Notification”. Then an email will be sent to you when a thread you have posted to is replied to.

    Re: How do YOU Select which posts you read each day?

    I start by checking my User CP, to see if any threads I've posted in have new replies. Then I go to New Posts and scan through those. I'm not sure really what criteria I used to decide which threads to read. I guess just something about the title that catches my eye, or sometimes just who posted it or who made the last response.

    Occassionaly I'll go to a specific forum for some inspiration or just to feel good, usually the before and after pics or the celebration forum.

        Well that usually shows up in my User CP since it always has new responses. =)

          Hey you guys should post in that thread. I want to make a new word ...
          I also check the CP first and then I usually look through some of the forums. Sometimes I also use the new post thing.

            Re: How do YOU Select which posts you read each day?

            In the morning, I go to the forums I usually read and open all the threads that have posts made after I logged out.

            During the day, I just use "New Posts".

              Actually... I rarely log out. I just become idle.

                  You are NEVER "idle". I have a feeling you are always a very busy lady.

                      I usually log on and go straight to the main forum to read new threads. I might check user CP as well. I... didn't know there were games LOL

                        I usually start in New Posts, then UserCP, sometimes I check the Century Club and I go to the 6WEC everyday.

                          I bounce back and forth between New Posts and Blogs, selecting what to read based upon the preview that pops up when my cursor touches a link. Unless [name redacted] is listed as the last poster - then I immediately pop some virtual popcorn and head over to watch the fun!

                            I just browse through forums. Then repeatedly bang my head into a wall when I see questions that have been asked and answered 10,000,000 times.

                            I don't envy you moderators who take the time to answer these questions over and over. My canned response would be "Use the search function."

                              I didn't get to see the name before it was redacted. Darn it, I have a curiosity streak and when something catches my attention it's hard for me to let it go. I have a guess who it was.....
