How do YOU use this board...

I shoulda just set up a poll, but, How do YOU use this board? Do you go straight to you truck year, or classifieds, subscriptions etc? Or, like ME, just hit "NEW POSTS" every time you com on.

wedgemon · 10-26-2006, 12:08 PM

OK, I did set up a poll...

woodridge · 10-26-2006, 12:13 PM

I voted! After I check out the 67-72 places I will usually look at some of the other areas.

jsbgump · 10-26-2006, 12:31 PM

I scroll through the new post and then i check out the rest of the good stuff on here

Aarons72s · 10-26-2006, 12:34 PM

I usually go to year of truck first. But last couple of days it has been general threads for the million post thread.

phlegm · 10-26-2006, 12:39 PM

COOL a new post button. my new favorite.

boraxman · 10-26-2006, 12:59 PM

Straight to the General forum.

67ChevyRedneck · 10-26-2006, 01:01 PM

I use it to fortify my post whore status. Plus, I like to pretend I know what I'm talking about.

1LoC10 · 10-26-2006, 01:31 PM

go straight to the "todays post section"

shifty · 10-26-2006, 02:40 PM

Poll is missing options.

I always go to one of three places first:
Computer help forum
General Discussion
67-72 truck forum (not classifieds)

Unless you were here every 5 minutes, you would hafta be masochistic (or bored) to hit "New posts". So many posts for so many forums it's crazy!

barn9 · 10-26-2006, 03:21 PM

I'm kinda like shifty, always start at Gen. Discussion page.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-26-2006, 04:20 PM

^Yeah, I start at the general discussion forum too.

***Liz*** · 10-26-2006, 04:23 PM

I always scan the main index page quick, then click new posts. If the new posts decides to time out and be a butt, I use the "todays posts" feature under quick links.
I also watch threads of interest via instant email subscription.

I added a few options as well to the poll

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-26-2006, 04:29 PM

LOL, liz your so thoughtful. Thanx for fixing it.

**Palf70Step** · 10-26-2006, 05:46 PM

I* normally go to my Setup user page, look at the subscribed posts, then hit the section/year areas and GD I want to look at.

LUV2XCLR8 · 10-26-2006, 06:41 PM

E-mail subscriptions 1st, then I prowl the rest of it

I am a post whore in training

1969C/10 · 10-26-2006, 07:58 PM

New posts every time! I've been going there about 3 times a day for 30-45 minutes each time. When I wake up (6:10 am) when I get home from school (3:45 pm) and after dinner (7:30 pm). I read a ton, and post rarely because I'm just learning about these trucks.

corn · 10-26-2006, 08:03 PM

Lets see, subscribed threads first, then 67-72, then GD, then classifieds, then everywhere else. Then repeat over & over everynight & on weekends too. Im hooked pretty bad & should really seek help. Ya know, now that I think about it, if I didnt spend ALL my time here, my truck would probably be done. Hmmmmm, naaaa...

krue · 10-27-2006, 05:47 AM

I think I'm the only "Official" post whore here and I use the "new posts" function.

JoetheMobster · 10-27-2006, 10:40 AM

right to general discussions for me as I no longer have a truck of any year.

I do however check out the 67-72 area every once in a while.

Rollie396 · 10-29-2006, 10:02 PM

I start in general discussion,then 67-72,then general truck forums.I like to keep an eye on all the forums though and stop in at all of them from time to time.

**Canadian694x4** · 10-30-2006, 01:50 AM

Usually start at the home page (sometimes subscription first tho) from there Gen. discussion/shop talk, 67-72 truck board, 67-72 burb board, 69-72 blazer/jimmy board, 4x4, then usually the NEW classifieds truck for sale section...then on to evilbay...lol.
