I was wondering how gransnetters navigate around the forums site, how do you choose where to go? Do you have favourite places? I often come upon really interesting posts by chance long after they were active and find I've missed out! I would love to hear about others 'log in' routines.
I go to active like most others. Then find a title thread that sounds interesting; though sometimes they turn out to be not so interesting, and the ones that sound boring are better and have more responses. I once started a thread about...... cheese on toast [don't laugh.]It had loads of enthusiastic responses, so there are many melted cheese fans out there.After active threads, I may look for the book club, or tv or the food thread.
The trouble with only looking at active is that threads can disappear quite quickly, especially if the spammers have been out in force.
Nina how do you pin active to your smartphone? I have GN open in my browser, but annoyingly of late, GN keeps asking g me to log in, even though I have clicked the keep me logged in button
I have the 'active' page pinned to start on my smart phone. Then scroll and pick out what interests me. I've never used any of the other options at the top.
I usually just go to Active, but will now try and remember to look up Last Hour - but as I am often browsing late at night, there may not be much there!
I go to forums, then work my way down the threads, just reading the ones I`m usually interested in, a few I never bother with at all, and some only occasionally, and some I just can`t keep away from!
I love seeing all the familiar names of other gransnetters and I like the threads that pose a 'lively' debate. It's fascinating to see the range of personalities, preferences and styles of humour, the forums are great company and good entertainment!
I go to 'Last Day' two or three times a day, run down the list, read any that interest me, respond to some. Then I go to 'I'm on' and run down any I have contributed to see what else has been posted and contribute again if appropriate
I often go to Last day or Last hour to see what is happening but don't often post messages, I'm very erratic and don't have a regular time slot for visiting Gransnet but I like to check in every day if I can.
