milovany Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Just curious. :D I usually only go back two pages, sometimes up to four. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanaryMelody Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 2-3 pages of (usually) 3 boards. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathymuggle Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 About 3 of this board, about one of the high school board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clementine Posted November 16, 2011 Author Share Posted November 16, 2011 I was feeling bad stopping at page 2.....page 3 isn't even old yet. I hate to think that posts get ignored after an hour or so. Man, why I feel guilty about this is beyond me. Carry on. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myeightkiddies Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 In a normal sitting I just check the first page on three forums. When I get time, usually first thing in the morning or late at night (especially if I am unable to sleep which is often), I will go back about three or four pages. My normal sitting may be just a few minutes. I check frequently as I have to sit often due to my condition (RA). Sometimes I search for something and find myself checking through pages; usually there will be posts that I read that have nothing to do with what I was searching.

Sasharowan Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 WOW, so going through ten pages at a time is a bit unusual then!! I usually go back until either the kids interrupt me or I run out of unread posts (seldom happens). I have gone back 20 pages before when I couldn't sleep.

EmilyinND Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I usually check my cp then hit new posts & skim thru the 10 pgs. of those if I have time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danybug Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I usually only check the first page. On occasion, I will go back to page 2 or 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayne J Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Usually I keep going 'til I recognize a post that is "old" (ie from this morning...:D) or my kids interrupt. Who knows what nugget of wisdom may lie buried on page 4??? I usually just check the General and K-8 boards, but occasionally I peek at the Logic stage and High School boards.

AHASRADA Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I am usually aiming for 10, but sometimes I get called away and only read 5 or 8 pages at a sitting. I actually never read a specific board. I just log on, hit "New Posts", and click on anything that looks interesting. Only 10 pages of new posts are listed, so once I have gone through them all, I'm done (for a few hours, anyway). ;) Of course, I don't actually read through every post on those 10 pages, but I like to watch out for thread titles that interest me, and read as far as my interest is held within each one. Sometimes I enjoy a particular thread, and will go back to it the next time I log on to see what new posts have been added to it. I log on at least 3 times a day, but usually more like 5, so I am skimming through at least 30 pages a day :tongue_smilie:. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lauracolumbus Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I try to limit myself to no more than 2 pages on no more than 3 boards. Sometimes I get carried away. Laura Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

momofmiracles Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 If I haven't been on in a couple of days or more I will skim through five to six pages on a couple of the boards. Otherwise, two or three. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kareni Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Random question - how many pages of the forum do you read at a sitting? Usually, way TOO many! I tend to start with the College and High school boards then branch out to the General board if time permits. Regards, Kareni Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tap Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 I have mine set to show 50 posts per page/ linear mode, so I go back a page or two depending on how much time I have. I will go back further on a slow board day, it just depends. I also use the search feature to go back to threads that I have posted on before to update or answer questions. I do not read every post in a thread, or even open 1/2 of them. I skim a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuirkyKapers Posted November 17, 2011 Share Posted November 17, 2011 Usually stick to the first, sometimes look back to the second. Sometimes keeping up with everything on the first keeps me so busy I can't keep up.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I usually check every morning. I try so hard to check only after my morning workout and prayers. I'm not always as disciplined. When I check, I guess I'm a bit weird, I copy and paste all the thread links that interest me from the past 24 hours. I have all the threads saved in a word document and I try to read and/or reply to them in order. Yes, I'm rather an*l retentive. ;) This board is usually 11 pages long and I start from the very last thread in the past 24 hours. Now and again, I will visit these forums at other times of the day, but I prefer early morning, since no one is around to talk to me or ask questions. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Florida. Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Usually 2-3. I don't read every post on every page I visit though, I just look for titles that might interest me. I'll go back further if I'm looking for a post I was reading or participating in but didn't subscribe to, but if I can't find it by page 5, I just do a search. I only read this board and the Logic Stage board, with occasional sneak peeks at the High School Board. Once or twice a year I check the sale boards - found our math program for a decent price here. My participation is mostly on the General Board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I look at "New Posts" (which combines all of the boards) -- about a page's worth. I skim the Thread Titles, maybe hover my cursor over them to see what they're about since people tend to be cryptic. I have my membership set to automatically subscribe me to all posts I participate in, so I don't have to go back and look for them. Very rarely I go to a specific board, like High School, and cruise through it for a page or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 If I haven't been on in a couple of days or more I will skim through five to six pages on a couple of the boards. Otherwise, two or three. ;) Me, too, but I'm on a lot. (Most of the time, the computer is on and I just leave the forums open, checking in from time to time.)
