How do you navigate PC Mech?

[Panama Red]

Just curious. Which is your typical way of viewing The Mech?

I was tempted to say that I was on it all the time, and no link was needed, but I didn't.

"View new posts" where do you see that?? I have the forum as my home page.

I link to the foums and browse my favorite areas.

thure :p sorry for the bmp image but it seems that Paint on win98se doesnt offer jpg .:(

[bigandy]

I first check out the main PCMech page for any news articles and new threads. Then I open the main forums page and open a forum from each section (Hardware, Software, General) and browse to see if anything catches my eye.

I do new posts.... somewhat hard to sift through the 140 some topics when I get home from school, or the 1k when I got back from my trip, but I only end up reading a handfull of them.

Funny thing about this poll, PR, is that the bottom two options in theory will get no votes... because those people don't come to a General Discussion forum

I go to the main page and click on "View new posts"

I go to the main page and go through forum by forum.

Ditto. I view each individual form with new posts from the main forum page.

just like the above two, although I spend quite a bit more time in the hardware forum than software, I only venture over there occassionaly, especially when I have a software quirk that's buggin me!

[ghost2003]

oh, never saw that button, thanks propain ( nice smilie ;) )

[kstatefan40]

I always go to the home page first. Read the news, look at the new posts. I click any that I think I can help with or contribute to, so that people get responses fast. Then, when they are slow, I check out GD and Programming/web developement, then if i have time still, i just read posts to increase my computing knowledge. This place is like the M$ Knowledge Base, exept for the fact that its not m$ thank god. :)

[Hi Ho]

I have My IE2 set up to open both my Hotmail inbox and the PCMech forums when I press the internet button on my keyboard. From there I simply look at the subjects of the email notifications from PCMech and go to that thread in the other tab. After I have read all the replys I read new threads and reply if I want to. It is very efficient. The nice thing about Hotmail is that it's tied in with MSN Messenger and whenever someone replys it pops up and tells me. That's why I reply so quickly.

[lil Jimmie]

[Tin]

[TimPoet]

I go to New Posts

[TwoRails]

Before the revamp and new Forums, I went to my favs, but now I mostly do the New Posts things.

[Kov-Ice]

I browse similar to Hi Ho's method... I rely upon email notifications alot, and then usually I'll View New or browse a few forums.

[Panama Red]

Just dawned on me that no one has posted to the last two categories cuz those types won't even read this! doh!:D

[Werewolfdaddy]

I come into the forums, then check the user cp to see if anyone has replied to the threads I'm subrscribed to. After I check that I randomly go through each section.
