Do you read the MESSAGE BOARD first or go directly to RECENT TOPICS? How do YOU manage your time on this time-consuming wonderful board???? Just curious!

I usally check my topics first, move onto watched topics then go to the quilting forum to find out whats new that everyone is talking about or posting pictures of. If i'm not careful I get lost in reading through post and get nothing done around the house.

I start with watched topics then move on to unread topics.

I have my profile filter the categories I want to view then I come to the board and click on "unread topics: I view: Main, Intro, photos, Tutorials and general. If I want to see other posts I go to Home and view. This works well for me.

I check my PMs then go to unread topics. For watched topics, I depend on the email prompt when there's a new post.

I go to unread topics first. Unless I am closely following a thread or two and then I go to them first.

I go directly to "Unread Topics". If the posts have good key word topic indicators, I see which ones I want to look at & which ones I can skip. For watched topics, I depend on the email prompt when there's a new post.

I go to main, then pics.....then here & there.

me too..

plus i try to seach out new members..to make them feel welcome

Hi there - I usually go to Unread topics first :)
