i like it cause sometimes there are replies to posts that i missed or that one day i didn't feel like replying to that i now do feel like replying to and it's easier to find them that way than trying to go thru every forum and figure out which forum this or that post was in.

I just follow the orange dots. Gives some structure to my browsing--"posts since last visit" gives you everything from every forum, jumbled up together.

I'm with Murrin. Main index, follow the orange tabs. Check mod forums first, pantheon, the Close and the Loresraat, media (tv, films, and music in that order), GD, GF/SF, Donaldson forums, and maybe author forums if I have time. What screws me is if I have to log on to a different terminal. Screws my cookies up.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Me too. I usually go: Writers' Circle, Hall of Gifts, Flicks, Vespers, Gen Dis, Gap (if there's anything there), Q&A (if there's anything there), Summonsing. Sometimes I'll check Announcements, TV or Gen Fantasy if I'm really bored.

Orange dots?

Method?

Btw, I like your red and orange browser Essie. Very cool.

I'm also an orange dot girl.

Except for when the browser decides to not save the last time I visited, and none are marked orange.

I usually start from the top and work my way down, based off of the Oranges.

The orange dots refer to forums and threads that have been posted in since you last logged in - in other forums and threads the "dots" are white.
You do not hear, and so you cannot be redeemed.

In the name of their ancient pride and humiliation, they had made commitments with no possible outcome except bereavement.

I use View Posts Since Last Visit. I hardly ever traveled out of the Pantheon, but if I see an topic that raises some kind of interest in me (which isn't that hard to do) I will check it out.
