Need your input/vote on usage of discussion links

[Fishboy]

I'm fairly new here, but I tend to focus on Alerts and Recent Posts. Have not used any of the Discussion Links.

 

[Gnomey]

Occasionally use them but not often. Can take or leave them.

 

[gumbyk]

I generally don't use them, just go to 'recent posts'

 

[MiTasol]

I go there quite often as recent posts often scrolls through so fast that something I am interested ends up on page 8 or 9 and I seldom go that far.
I must admit alerts is my first stop though

 

[Wayne Little]

use them sometimes, but not really fussed either way...

Do you use these links? How important are they for you?
Please provide your feedback. Need to determine if this feature will stay with new forum update.

I have used such links where appropriate, at any forum I participate at.
Do I use them often? No, but when needed, they have proved valuable.

I agree - not used often at all but when needed they are very valuable

I use them frequently and only switch to "Recent Posts" if I need to find something further back (helps when activity is particularly high or I haven't logged in awhile). It also helps that there are multiple categories in the Discussion Links, which in particular keeps new requests for information from being buried under the more active threads.

 

[Thorlifter]

I've always just used the recent posts link, but I don't mind them being on the front page.

Help guys, I would like to start a new thread, but can not
figure out how to do it...?

Go to the forum you would like to create a thread in. At the top right, above the thread list, is a "Post New Thread" button. Click it:

Then enter a title for thread and the content you wish to post. Then click "Create Thread"

Beat me to it

 

[CORSNING]

Thank you horse. And thank you for being there also Geo. I will
give it a try tomorrow. The Mrs. says we are in to her time now.
I love her and she is right.

Goodnight guys, you're the best, Jeff

Yes, I do. How would I know what post would interest me without titles and section tabs?
I certainly hope it does stay. Would seem to be a rather confusing place, otherwise.

Note: it seems I've responded here once before, but
I swear the attachment was for something different the first time around.
Makes it look like I gave two different answers to the same question, but I'm certain the attachment was different the first time I answered.

...confused....have we moved onto another question about the forum upgrade? (actually, since the last time I was here, it does look different around here. Has the upgrade already happened?)


Elvis
P.S. - Nevermind, just saw the announcement about the thread upgrade.

 

[nuuumannn]

As with others, although if I see a topic of interest in that list I'll click on it.

 

[special ed]

Yes

 

[Ivan1GFP]

One feature I miss is "Your recent activity" under "Forums".
Sometimes the alerts do not appear to work and that is the only way to see what is happening on recent discussions.

- Ivan.

 

[VERSUCH]

I never use it, if I see something of interest I go straight to it.

Cheers Mike

 

[Bustedwing]

I can't really say I "USE" them but I definately check them out from time to time. Lots of interesting info.
