Just wondering....

I'm just curious how all of you navigate around the Garden. Do you check out the individual forums that interest you first, do you check out the home page, do you use "Today's Posts" button, do you use the " buttons at the bottom of the page?

What's your favorite way to stay current in the Garden?

I use "Today's Posts", that way I can keep up with the most recent postings and keep track of when someone has replied in a thread I'm involved in.

I'm a very long way from Alice Springs - and have never been anywhere near it.. As fer Alice Cooper... Oh Man!! Maybe I should reform. Curb my more bloodthirsty tendencies!! We could dance naked round a peat fire instead to appease the gremlins, goblins, piskies, leprechauns etc .. somewhere on a Scottish hillside... pam is still swooning from another thread ... with the pipes skyirling, the mists swirling.. and the sporrans twirling...........

Ok Ill humor you. I follow you around and when I see something I can use I attack you like a stealth panther.

The first place I look is into the replies,too see if anyone commented on anything I might have wrote.Then I go too todays posts.But I am very carefull what I comment on and don't write much because I find that when I do, the subject seems too come a dead end after my post. strange but true.

Tater, I think all of us believe we are thread killers. I have had it happen so many times!! But then I see so many other people saying that their's is the last post in a thread, too, and well, I guess a thread has to end somewhere, we all just think it's ourselves killing the thread!

I hate that BR and STS... and have a very bad habit of going into those threads I've apparently killed and deleting my last post.. A girl hasta hang on to some dignity. Then I find another FGer was just posting a reply and I've gone and pulled the rug out from under their feet.. left them dangling in surreal randomness - hee hee... (Sorry Snooze!)

theia · Post by **theia** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:26 pm

Today's Posts...not surprisingly, I didn't know there were any other ways :-5

It's only in recent months that I realised that you could see who's online and even more recently, after Betty was here, that you could have different ways of organising the number of posts per page etc.

Yep, I'm a true...what do they call someone who's an expert in technology, computers etc?

AussiePam · Post by **AussiePam** » Thu Apr 20, 2006 11:53 pm

I think it's called an ornithologist, Theia... or is that a spider studying person... ooops sorry BR... Wonder what a person who studies tea is called. A teaologian?? .... Just went and googled it... tea expert (tsiologist). Ain't the internet grand.. Wonder what a coffee expert is??? Googled that and oooooook... found someone offering coffee enemas.

An ornithologist is a bird expert. The term Theia is looking for is a smart ass.

A smart ass... hey.. well now she's got two of us, OM.. GRIN.. I'm playing thread tag with you! How are you? What's the weather like over there?

Hahaha don't u just love how such a simple thread, can get so side tracked and end up going completely off the topic, ah brilliant. :wah:

Anyways if I have been gone for a few days, then I go Home, New posts, and work my way from the oldest to newest posts. Otherwise I just stick with going between Today's Posts and Who's online, as I like to be nosey.
