How do you work this site when you log on.......

[mark]

............I'm curious as to how others works this site when you log in. I bring up this site from my favorites & usually head straight to "New Posts" at the top of the forum.

I can then comment on what you guys are posting about, regardless of what forum you are on. I also have my system set up so emails come on my email box of new posts.

I then go to favorites & bring up 2 of the forums I like the most to check out. ( Political & General discussion ) so I won't miss any interesting posts.

How do you work this site?? .............see ya Mark

I have a shortcut to this site on my desktop. I used to have it in my "games" folder shortcut but found that I was constantly going here first, so I gave it its own little shortcut. It is set to come up on games, but I always check out who's online and the new posts first, then off to the games. LOL, bet yahoo euchre is wondering where I went to!! I have not been to yahoo games since joining this board. :D

It's my home page, snowflakes and all.

Check the weather radar...the chat box (always 0)

then to the scrolling list of recent posts in the forums.

then off somewhere else (my "Links" bar is well populated.)

I have a little homepage I wrote myself that has a link to this site on it. However, I also have set up Mozilla to load up about 8 web sites at once, (which I call my morning paper.) It loads up this site, The ledger, my bank account, the cable's spam blocker (so I can clean it out), Live journal, and several news sites.

From there, I come directly to the list of new posts and read, (which I look at all, that's a job as moderator.) spend awile commenting, go around to the news sites, and copy news off them to here, if necessary, then finally I'm done. Every morning around 8am.

......WOW kcredden, that's a lot of surfing. When I was introduced to this site back in the summer, I gave up several other forums in favor of visiting this one.

I only have a couple of metal detecting / treasure hunting forums that I visit. Metal detecting is my real passion. I gave up the others when I started on this one. This one ( I only visit 2 others ) is one of my favorites because I enjoy talking about the issues that concern us HERE.

That's nice because other parts of the world don't even know where Maysville is, much less care about issues affecting us here. I see the day coming where I won't be able to keep up with this site when more gets on board.

That's a good problem to have................see ya Mark

[chuckle] Yes it is, Mark. But mainly the sites are computer tech ones, that I skim though, looking for security/program problems, and etc. Pretty much what I post here is usually what I read. I've got a couple of astronomy/space ones too, but since about all sites, I read aside from CNN, and Slashdot update only once a day, it's easy to keep up.

I also have slashdot, CNN, and Livejournal on my 'Headline news' update bookmarks that I can check real fast. Oh, I do have the Maysvilleky BBS on both bookmark folders too. :)

I know the problem you speak of:

I see the day coming where I won't be able to keep up with this site when more gets on board.

That's how it is on 'wet canvas' an art BBS. There is approximately 10,000+ members on it, and even with just 'drawing' and 'art history' I can't scan it more than once a week. It's a mad house there.

What a nice day an age we live in [hehe]
