How Do You Read Posts Here At CPF?

PaulW · Jul 23, 2003

I generally read posts in the flat mode using the "Latest Threads" link. I keep a 4x6 card beside the computer to keep track of where I last left off. Sometimes I'll drag a shortcut from my browser to the desktop to keep track of threads that really interest me.

But from reading what others say, some people go to the Main Index and then to specific forums they're interested in.

How do you do it? Either of these two ways? Another way? Do you use flat or threaded mode?

I visit about three times a day, sometimes more. How often do you visit?

Re: How Do You Read Posts Here At CPF

Just started using "latest" in the past month. Before then, I always went to specific forums. Now I use a mixture - for routine checking I use "latest", then every other day or so, I'll go to specific forums, usually manage to find a thread or two that I overlooked when viewing "latest".

How often- varies - when work is slow, like today, at least once an hour, other times maybe once a day.

Of all the forums I visit, CPF is my favorite and is always the first one checked.

Was_jlh,

You bring up another interesting consideration. Where are you when you visit? At home or work, or elsewhere? I must conclude that a lot of people check in from their desks at work.

I almost always check in from home at my desk -- perhaps sometimes from a friend's house.

I usually look at CPF from my laptop in my room. I'm on CPF about 3 to 4 times a day. I use the main index, and go down the forums. If the light bulb is lit up, I'll check that forum.

I visit CPF everyday. whenever i am at my desktop, the CPF webpage always there. I used the last 20 threads to find what's new at CPF. Flat mode, blues /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif .

I probably visit CPF more at work, I spend a lot of time on the phone and many times I can browse while talking / waiting / listening.

I'm on CPF about 3 times, each for about 2 hours... I access at home.

ALWAYS use the Latest Threads unless its for searching for BST items, search for my last post and look up from there.

Flat mode, CPF Blues.

I'm a resident of CPF /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon6.gif , but recently been flubbering in and out. I usually go flat mode from the front page, show all forums, and just go into each individual forum to check out the new threads with new posts...
