how do you do it? after you log in, how do you get around?



I do this: View posts since last visit


whats your method for the madness?

thats how i do it too.

then i go check the forums i mod to see if there's anything i missed.

then i also hit "view your posts" to see if there were replies to posts
i made that i missed.

I hate that view your posts thing! it brings up threads you posted in 3 months ago and crap, I'm going thru 8 pages tryin to find some stupid comment I made, heh.

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.

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.

Yeah, I'm an orange dot kinda gal!

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.

Orange Dot Tree!

Go Comp Sci!

I'm just plain mad..

as a hatter.

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

The Orange Dots let me see through my hand and gaze into the Untempered Schism without hearing the Sound of Drums.

view posts since last visit.
work my up from the bottom.
on occassion search for sarge & null to make sure i don't miss someone acting a direct question.

what is this orange dots thing?

Mainly posts since last visit

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.

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.
