Just a quick question to get some info on how people access and use this forum.

Do you come to the Forum home page:
http://www.metamatic.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi

or do you have a favourite category/section that you always go to first?

Do you use 'Today's Active Topics':
http://www.metamatic.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_daily

Do you get notification of responses to a particular topic that interests you?

And how about the search facility...?

I'm calculating everything
Looking at it every way...


Thanks - look forward to your feedback

Hi Martin,

I use the check for latest updates link.

I use the search when i'm looking for old threads i need to add something to.

I dont have email updates turned on since they fill up my inbox.

Occasionally goto forum home but only when i've lost the check for updates link which i have saved.

Martin,
- Mostly through notifications of subscribed topics.
Otherwise it's the "today's active topics" link that does the trick.
"Search" usually to look for a topic/artist you know has been discussed in the past but can't remember quite when or where...
confused

Hi Martin, I used to slavishly look under the main headings of John Foxx, Green Room, etc, until one day last year you mentioned on here about the 'todays active topics' link. That was a bit of a revelation as I'd never noticed it perched up there on the right, I use it now, but if I've been away for more than a day then I always resort to the main headings first.

Also, I don't always find that the 'search' easily finds what I want, I usually have to plow through a list first.

I don't get email notifications because I don't want a clogged inbox, and since I don't check the forum regularly, I just turn to the brightly lit bulbs unless I have deleted cookies since my last visit, in which case I try to estimate when I last looked at certain topics and wade through those.

I have used the search function on occasion but don't really recall for what purpose.
