So whats your order?

Ditto.

Double Ditto.

I finally figured out the syntax for the "get daily" query, so I start with that, and then work from the oldest unread and work forward in time. This helps ensure that don't miss a post on topics that interest me.

I have never bothered with the 'New Posts' link. Instead I go to the main index and work my way down the highlighted thread subjects, ignoring those that I think hold little or no interest for me.

Very often, having reached the bottom of the index, I go back to the top and start again because that is when all you chaps in North America start posting. In fact, that is why I am so often very late in going off to bed - around 1.30/2.00am!!

Sorry Hamish, I'll start the crusade to get off work about noon so you don't have to stay up late (AZ=GMT -7 hours) On slow days I like to search for interesting threads that I missed in years past. Many questions have been answered before so a quick search yields a wealth of information that is usually very interesting to other newcomers (if you ressurect it with a new post). O'Neille

I also just hit the new posts unless I'm bored and then go through the entire site one section at a time. I tend to use the new posts button on all the message boards I'm on (about 8 that I check daily) and it saves me time.

I start at "General kilt talk", and go right down the line, checking out each topic, and finishing with "off topic". Then,on most days, I hit refresh and go back through all of them to check and edit my own posts and see if anything new has been added while I am online. Of course, I'm a charter member of ROFS (Retired Old Farts Society) and I have a lot more time than you youngsters who still have to work for a living.
