      How do you use this forum? I scroll straight to the bottom and look  at “active topics” and ” new topics”. Do you do this too?

      #1526677

      That is exactly what I do.

      I do wish that when you were in a forum topic that there was the “active topics” and ” new topics” at the bottom of the page so that you didn’t have to hit the back button or scroll all the way to the top to get back to the main forum page though. Or maybe a “Back to Main Forum” button would be better.

      Yep! I scroll right down to the “active” topics section. Since I check the forum regularly, the new stuff is usually in the active section.

        Yep! Do the same and would also love to have back the feature we had in the other forum where you could click easily on ‘Active’ or ‘New’ topic links to go to another one, without having to click the breadcrumb “The Windstone Forum” link at the very top to get the topics list all over again.

          Interesting.  I do it differently, perhaps because I’m able to check the Forum more often than many people.  This is the sequence when I come to the Forum:

          1 – check Melody’s Blog

          2 – check the Classified Ads

          3 – go to the Forum and work my way down the page, checking to see whether topics/posts have been updated since the last time I looked.  If so, I read the new material before going on to the next item.

          4 – look at the topics at the bottom of the page in case I missed something

          As required, I look at my messages when I have notice of a new message.  End of the day – check my account for messages before logging off, just in case I overlooked a notification.

            I just go to “Windstone Discussions” and see when the last post was. If there is something recent, I check out that particular area.

                That’s exactly what I do. Then I open all the tabs for the topics I want to read, reply, then close. Very easy to use!

                  That’s funny I never thought about how people check things on here but I usually check messages first, then classifieds, then scroll to the bottom of the forum topics and check active topics and click on the most recently updated ones.  I was actually a little thrown off by the new topics section as I was confusing it with active topics on my phone and was wondering why nothing new was posted on some of them but then I realized active topics was below it.  I guess it’s good to have new topics too though in case people miss some new threads.

                  #1526688

                  I go thru my messages first, then Classifieds, then Forum top to bottom, clicking on most recent activities, then go back up to eBay auctions, then last but not least email or PM my friends on Forum !!

                  Luv,luv,luv it!!

                    I do exactly the same, though admittedly I have way less time to check the Forum these days so it’s the most convenient way for me to get an idea of what’s going on at a glance.

                      I do the same thing! Scroll straight to the bottom to see what’s been recently updated. 😀

                        I’m more like Etruscan, but in different order.

                        1 – Sign in. If not expecting any PMs (no sales or purchases in progress) go to the forums.

                        2- Scroll through the forum list to the General Windstone section.  Open it and look at ‘last reply’ times on threads; read interesting topics that have had replies since my last visit (usually it’s the Ebay Pictures Thread, and sometimes the Show Your Colllection, Conga Lines, and the latest Grab Bag Show Off threads) and then any smaller, more specific topics that have cropped up.

                        3- Scroll through the forum list to the Ask Melody section.  Read the latest ‘What’s Next On The Schedule’ replies (this seems to be only consistently updated thread) and any new threads.

                        4 – Scroll through the forum list and look at ‘last reply’ times for the other sections – are there new replies/topics in the Store Discussion or News or PYO?  (If it’s the end of the month, poke around for raffle details.)

                        5 – Assuming there aren’t any new-release announcements I need to run to the Store immediately for 🙂 ,  browse the Classifieds for ‘for sale’ items.

                        6- Got to my account and check PMs. Update any of my Classifieds that are expiring.

                        7- Not part of the regular schedule, but if at any point during the above something comes up that’s on the blog (grab bag class photos, new sculpt previews, raffle items), I either open it in a new tab or swing by quickly before resuming the usual process.

                        8- Wistfully sigh about all the beautiful things I can’t afford, and/or resolve yet again to take new pictures of my [conga line/kirin family/griffin flock/] or finish my [repair/PYO piece in progress] !   😛

                        Interested in buying or trading for: GB Pebble Sitting Red Fox in dark grey, Lap Dragon Test Paints (Water Sprite, Glacial Pearl, Opulence, Pastel Rainbow, and many others - see my Classifieds ad), Blue Morpho OW, GB Pebble Loaf dragons in blue/aqua/teal, and Griffin Test Paints (Black Rainbow or Frosted Jade).
