How Do You Use ScubaBoard?

[Rick Inman]

So, what is your own favorite method for reading posts on ScubaBoard?
Do you use the New Posts button?
Do you use a URL builder to custom cruse new posts?
Do you search your own name to followup threads you're posting in?
Maybe you just go to your favorite forums.
Search for subjects you care about?
Or, do you just randomly graze the board?

Tell us how you enjoy using ScubaBoard, or any tips you have for getting the most out of it.

I find the way for myself is to go to the new posts. After that I will check my Favorite forums just in case I missed any interesting or new.

I mostly look at Control Panel, to see threads I've subscribed to that have new posts. Sometimes I look at new posts (using my own link that excludes some forums.) If I've been away I do "last # days", excluding some forums.

Yeah generally just laze about and float from thread to thread. Especially after the weekend, then other days I use the new posts button!

I normally use New Posts.

I get e-mail alerts to subscribed threads.

Often I do Advanced Searches using my username, to make sure I catch everything.

I'll occasionally do a search when I'm researching a specific topic (though I haven't figured out yet how to do logical "and" searches).

I'll very seldom go to specific forums -- unless I'm starting a thread.

As I´ve got so much time on my hands and so little work to do, I slowly go through pretty much everything!! All the Instructors here at the Diving Center think I´m some kind of Scuba Genius, as I´m always coming out with new things I´ve learnt off here!!

i usually use the new posts link every few days.

i also check my mail for subscribed threads;

when i get time on my hands, i also browse from the forums start page, down some forums.

and i use RSS feed to check latest posts every once in a while. ( that's how i found this thread )

All of the above and subscibed threads of course...

I use the New Post button several times per day.

New posts button, unless I'm looking for something in particular.
