once you login (if you do), how do you go about searching the forum?
my standard practice is first to check my notifications for new messages or friend requests and handle those. if someone new has sent me a friend request, especially without an intro pm, i pm them and ask what prompted them to add me, since i like to know why folks are on my friends list. i'm not a collector.
then i usually go into my profile statistics and look to see if others have responded to threads i've recently responded to, so i can follow the discussions. depending on the activity, i might respond again or not.
finally, i go to "new posts" and try to get through them.
sometimes i find something i definitely want to respond to and open it in a new tab -- e.g. often the case with TMI Tuesday-- so i can go back to it and it won't be forgotten.
if i see a new clip that looks interesting, i'll stop and watch the clip.
then i finally log off. sometimes i can do this in a short period of time. other times it can take a couple of hours. if i haven't been on very long or want to kill more time, i'll go to the main forum page and start looking at particular forums.
so, do you have a standard process when you visit tmf? do you visit multiple times a day? do you try to stay up-to-date on what's going on via "new posts?"
i rarely start threads, but i am today 🙂 are you a thread-starter? or how about a thread hijacker?
