what's your method?
« on: August 31, 2006, 12:11:52 PM »
i am interested in how various members scan the board of I².

this is how i do it:
i start at the top and click on a forum that is highlighted in blue.  and i stop and read, then i respond (usually).
afterwards i click on the intensity² button and start anew and stop at the next forum highlighted in blue.  working my way down the board.
i used to read everything, but now there are at leat two dozen threads that have a NEW flag next to it that i do not bother with.  i save them for rainy days.

also, i get pissed off when i respond to something and someone else responds to mine, but i forgot and left the thread alone.  only to find out (during the next rainy day) that i passed it up wrongfully.  and now its too late to respond.

thats how i do it: top to bottom, stopping at each step along the way.

I divine direction from the stars and from ancient pagan rituals involving incense and dressing like an idiot.

I kind of go around miscellaneously from forum to forum (as long as I see they have new replies.) I usually start with the ask away threads, as I am addicted to them.  ;D

At the moment I tend to flit aimlessly between the forums, I just don't seem to be in the right mood often just lately.

Usually though I start by looking for threads I've found interesting on a previous visit to see if there have been any new posts. Then I read other threads that seem like they might be interesting- I haven't read all unread posts for a long time.
