I read or look at posts up to 2 pages. I find that after that it is too much repeated.... over and over. So if I see more pages than that, I don't bother looking at them. Personal preference with my time constraints.

I respond without reading pages of posts. I like to give a word or two about the quilts when persons have shared, yet if there are many pages of posts, I often do not. I access the board thru favorites, no problem.

I love looking at the pictures and since I have been on the posting side the comments encourage me to keep quilting. I don't read every post just those that catch my eye. I also like to browse for new ideas and tutorials to bookmark. My regular status never affects my browsing.

I read the messages on the board and not thru emails
as I can click on unread topics and look and see what I want to read, watched topics, recent topics and pictures
(and of course links)

If it is a topic I posted on early on I will often read most of the posts that come after if it is a topic that is technique related, not just a picture with pages and pages of ooohs and aaahs. There are also topics where I skim through and if a picture quilt posts that I feel is exceptional I don't care if it has 20 pages of posts I will post on it too!
I only access the board through the internet. I have all email capabilities disabled. I just find it easier to login and navigate the board that way.

When a beautiful quilt is posted, I will read EVERY post prior to asking for the pattern information to make sure it isn't already posted.
When a topic interests me, I will read every post
I do not post if there are already a ton of postings or if I am echoing another post without need to.
Recently, when I post a picture of a quilt, I try to include the quilt size and source of the pattern to avoid unnecessary posts...

Good question. I recently signed on and have tried to at least read the posted question and a few remarks--takes a lot of time out of my day when I should be quilting or being a housewife. Wondered how others read the "board".

Oh my no wonder I don't get anything done, I'm on here most of the day just reading and more reading. Watching to do topics and looking for stuff Craftybear sends out. I am having way to much fun. If I walk away I keep thing I'm missing something and have to go back to this site.

I find that I don't login when going thru the emails, so I don't reply to most posts because when I do login I am sent to the Home page, I then have to go back to the email to find the topic title that I wanted to reply to and search for it. Then I find out that there may be 7 pages of responses, and don't bother to post after all. Does anyone read all the pages of responses?
My point is... that just because I don't post frivolously I still consider myself a "regular".
