These days all it takes is a look at the Topic Titles, swiftly followed by clicking the red X in the top right hand corner of the screen.

I look for my big green signature, which means I've written someting before. If I don't find it...... i don't read.

I look at the topics and see if any of them look interesting... would've thought that was what most people did!

Things very rarely stay on topic though anyway, so the title can be misleading.

I look at pretty much everything that has had movement since I was last on - I don't read it all though, skip through most of it. Topic titles are useless, they mean nothing in this place.

well, that depends on who created the thread.

if you look at my "hayfever - the bane of my life" thread, for example, you can be pretty sure it'll be about hayfever and how it is the bane of my life, and you would be correct.

Viv's thread entitled "swing back", on the other hand...well, your guess would be as good as mine. It could be about the tricky process of garden toy home assembly. but it's not.

I click on the orange markers, always choosing the last page, sometimes I'll look back through the previous pages if it looks interesting, or doesn't make any sense at that point, or if I've posted before on that topic.

If there are a lot of orange markers, I click on the last ones first, then click the back button, and do this until I get to the latest posts.

Trouble is quite often I'm doing other stuff, so I may clear quite a few, but go back and theyve re-appeared, then I'll have a look because its so active, but often I find some discussion or squabble going on that I haven't a clue about.

Thanks Gaspode :roll: .... I want a creme egg now! "How do you eat yours"

True - but even the topics with sensible titles tend to wander, and after a page or two bear no resemblance to what they started out as. Which I like, by the way.

You to be different here where there was a wide range of topics you could pick and post loads on... Like Dickie says, all it takes it a look at the title...

:lol: "swing back" was meant to mean - would there be a swing back to people watching old style dramas, etc., rather than reality trash.

I tend now to only look at threads that I have looked at previously, I think that way at least there are some safe heavens from the tediousness that is me

I log on and look for orange squares - I'd like to see different colours for different sections. Then I'll look for new threads, and if there are any, I'll think "yahoo! new threads!" If there aren't, well, I'll create some.

The moral of this story is: someone create threads quick, before Viv decides she has to. They might be complete sh*te, but they must be better than hers.
