If ya'll could comment on what you have seen to be effective ways to use these forums. Big world, lots of time zones, and well shoot, I wanna play too.

So, when you come to the board, what do you do?, click on? and such.....

Gratzy eh!

when i come to the forum, i usually go right to the weight training forum, check the posts that are bold, as i havent read them, it does depend on the subject though. And i reply to theones where i feel i can help. Then i usually go to the off topic forum and do the same. Sometimes i post a question or two myself..
 
I usually go straight to members lounge. I like the young athletes section as well though. I used to jump straight to weight training, but I've learnt most the stuff on there, and don't post too often on there as there are countless other people who can do a better job of helping them out. :D Although I still like to add in my occasional comment, helpful or sarcastic ;)
 
I bookmarked the control panel where you can view your subscribed threads and rep, and PM's all that in one place. So when i come here i check all of my subscribed threads then i simply hit the "new post" button. I read each one then respond to it accordingly if, as karky said, If i can add something to it. When thats done i usually see who's on line. If anyone is actively making a post and i have nothing to do ill wait and see what it is and so on...
 
All new posts on subscribed threads get sent to my blackberry.

Otherwise, I read new posts, think of something useless to say to increase my total posts.
 
I like the Nutrition and Weight Loss forums, as well as Weight Training. I usually check those 3 in that order. Nutrition and WL are just very interesting topics, and ones that I feel like I have a good enough grasp on to help others. There are just so many members here that know so much more about Weight Lifting than I, that I usually am a little intimidated to post in that forum. I love all areas of fitness the same, so in the end, I make my way everywhere...
 
Usually I got straight to the weight training section, then to the journal section to post in mine or check out others. Then member's lounge and everything else. =]
 
Blackberry gets by on its name, thats why everyone that has one says "blackberry" instead of phone. I wish I had the new treo :mad:

The new ipod phone looked pretty cool too, I think it comes out next month.

That does look sweet. I can't get it though. I'll break it in a second. I have the yellow Nextell construction phone. I needed something I could bounce off the ground and have it still work.

As far as forum usage I almost exclusively use the New Posts button. I log in and check for anything that catches my eye. (I tend to read posts from certain people more now that I have been in the forum a little while too.)
 
I'm finding it pretty tough to find anything to post on right now, whenever I log on it's pretty rare that anyone else is even here! Do we have fewer users now than before?

Your in the UK, most of the users here are from the US. So different Timezone. As well if your looking at only specific sub forums instead of the entire forum it could seem like that.
 
thanks for replying,,, i see more stuff now, and i can use the subscribe to track certain threads and such. And the new posts button helps alot.

cool

thanks again

FF- thanks for sending me on the chase! Now I gotta see if I can find the "almost 40 and trying to regain lost youth" forum (post back surgery). :cool:

Catch up later-- hey y'all
