How do you PE?

[spacefreak]

New Posts mostly.

[Sturgeon's Lawyer]

Only on laptop.

1. Check the two active groups I belong to/post in.
2. Subscribed.
3. New posts, mostly looking to see if there's anything I might want to subscribe to.
Done!

Sometimes I google for info on a musical topic, and end up in PE, and it's not entirely unusual that I land on something I already posted about.
Why did I come in here?

'Go to 1st unread' is essential IMO. Anyone who hasn't discovered that will find that your life improves in so many ways once you use it. Food tastes better, the air seems fresher.

You can run faster and jump higher

New posts mainly - but I do search bands /artists I am interested in.

In my new Red Ball Jets or was that PF Flyers?

Ha, not only had that feature gone unnoticed by me for years, the corresponding functionality exists at the stevehoffman forums and I never noticed there, either.

At the top, next to 'What's New'.

Pretty much the same for me.

Laptop only. Check unread posts in the forums.

[Trane]

Both at work and at home, I enter via my settings page next to the Log Out in the top right corner

Gives all the threads I've participated in. I check them out and add my 0.02 w<hen I feel like it.

Sometimes (about once or twice a week, which means I often come late in the debate - like here, for ex) I check new posts or go the forum menu to check out the main forum, the Off Topic and once in a while, the Way-Off.

the easiest (IMHO) is to hit the Settings feature. Subscribed will give the same results, though.

1. Check the two active groups I belong to/post in.

surprised anyone is still using those groups actually - haven't checked things out in years in there

The three I was participating +/- died in 2015 - I figured other didn't last much longer.

Not "who" you PE with, but "how" Easy to see the mix-up.

[Rune Blackwings]

Just curious how you do PE? If you have a pattern of reading and responding what is it?

Mine goes like this -

New Posts - Hit this first to see latest on anything I'm active in.
Subscribed - Second step allows me to see posts in threads I am following but may have missed in New Posts

The only other thing I do is Search. Sometimes I forget a thread name or I want to search for a topic to read or post.

What's your method?

barely anymore. when i do, it depends on what is of interest-sometime new posts. sometimes to look for answers. i rarely expect answers anymore. I spend more times in oddities auctions anymore.

I'm not certain which of those two things is more disturbing.

You got a big laugh out of me today :-) But coincidentally, yesterday Apple announced the demise of the iPod. Wow, it was the first "i" device that hit the market when Steve Jobs made the announcement. How things have changed since then, now it's a world of streaming and downloading, even CDs are almost dead but vinyl is back (not to my amusement).

Sitting down

[hFx]

First I click "New posts", then the "Mark any thread not about King Crimson read" button which reduces the clutter by at least 30%

Three things. He moderates.

Using a palm pilot.

Well, his business yes......but his business is likely disturbing.


Anyway, I go to subscribed threads first, checking first unread, then to new posts. I sometimes use the Mark All function, but not always. And I usually am sitting down. Though I sometimes use Tapatalk, esp. if I am looking for responses to my own witticisms.

I don't use a palm pilot

Subscribed posts first then new posts.

...I get a lot of use out of the “go to 1st unread” little blue button on the left hand side of the thread name. That way if a thread from years ago suddenly reappears I can go to the new post instantly.

That button is a MUST-USE on any forum. They all have that functionality one way or another.

[Rarebird]

I’m the opposite - subscribed posts first then new posts.

The only problem with years old threads is that I probably don't now what they are about, though that can be solved by looking at te first post and what I have added before.
