Ok, so I've been sitting here lately wondering about the General board and how everyone uses it.

I typically only pay attention to page one. Sometimes, if there isn't anything there to pique my interest I'll go back a page or two but I see there are 60 some pages available.

How far back do you typically scroll? Or...are you a "front page" person as well?

I'm just curious.
:D

I'm a front page person unless I'm looking for a particular thread that interested me but I haven't had a chance to post to. There are just so many threads that go up in the run of a day that the front page gets to be enough to handle!

Exactally. I mean, when I first registered...I would ask for email notifications on my threads that I joined and even *that got to be a little much. So, page one is usually plenty for me. lol

I usually go to the first page or two...

I have anything I fear my slip to the back on my list of subscribed threads so I can find updates easily.

Back to the last time I was here, if I have time. That could be page 4 or 5 lately. I often find a thread from someone that is good but it died mid-morning on a weekday. I will pull it up later at night to give it new life. Sometimes they take off then with a different group of people posting, sometimes not.

and here I thought you could see past the cover this whole time! *grin*

*running for the door*
 
Depends on the thread


If I find it funny or interesting, I read all of the pages ( I think so far the most has been 7 pages), but if it's something light and silly, I'll only read the first page.

There are times that I'll have to go do something in real, so I'll *save my place* and come back to it later.

I guess another reason I try to read all of the posts is that I don't want to keep repeating other people. Although that does happen.

I've been known to see 'under the covers' occasionally....but past the cover is a whole new scenario for me. lol

hehe... I think he meant how many pages back in the list of threads do you go, not how many pages within a given thread. But your point is also a good one. I wonder how many people see a thread with 6 or 7 pages of posts and actually read all of them?

Correct, Cheyenne....

Out of a possible 65+ pages of General board threads...how many do you bother with?

Now..if a particular *thread is interesting, I'll read the 6 or 7 (or 30) pages of it just for kicks.

That being said....I'm off to take a shower. PB's made me feel all used and dirty. lol.....BBL.

Well that should teach me to post while cleaning .... :eek:

So to answer the actual question, I'll sometimes go back four pages .... the most has been six.
 
Three or four pages,....

...at least till I get back to "familiar ground". I want to see what the Europeans and ANZAC members are doing as well as catch up on the different "shifts" here in NA.

Rhumb:cool:
 
I usually don't have time to get past page 1, unless they are all really boring topics, then i go to page 2, 3 or sometimes more.

I usually try to read most of the posts before posting, and if I don't, I say so from the beginning. Sometimes I will get halfway through and just HAVE to comment on what someone said.
