What post's do you look at? - Page 2

I try to look at most new ones, and the oldies but goodies, like vent and rant and picture battle. If I've been away for few days though I usually don't try to catch up completely on some of the more popular ones. I'll just read the last couple of pages.

All of them except "No threads (I don't ever like to be seen)" as I'm not sure what it is. I think it's difficult to tie it down - it would be any I'm subscribed to, any new posts that take my interest, any started or posted to by people I know.

I like new threads and those with zero posts or that have been there for several days without any reply.

I like to help people (if I know and I can) so I try to focus on those 1st.

On all forums I visit I use the same pattern.

I subscribe to subforums I like for a daily newsletter. It shows all the new topics in the subscribed subforums. If I am interested, I click on the link and have a look. If I like the thread, I either reply if I have anything to contribute and it automatically subscribes me to the thread or manually subscribe to the thread in both cases with delayed email notification.
