What buttons do you use most?
I, for example, use the "View new posts" button a lot, and sometimes the "View your posts". Also the board index button get's some use from me.
How about you guys?

Re: How do you navigate the forums?
View New Posts, View Your Posts, Board Index, WIKI, Messages and User Control Panel get the most use from me. The logout button is useless. Why would I want to do that!

Re: How do you navigate the forums?
I'm a "View New Posts" addict. That's how I keep up with the latest posts.
"Board Index" is when I need to go to a specific forum, usually a RP-related one. I've got my guild forums bookmarked at the top of my browser for quick access.

View New Posts, and Board Index when I need something specific.

View new posts.
If I had a "view faction posts" button, I'd use that too.

View New, View Your, New Messages, User Control Panel. View submitted message cause I want it to go faster. Pretty much it I think.

Re: How do you navigate the forums?
Am I alone in my habits?
I go to board index, open every single subforum that has unread posts, and then read each post in the subforum individually.
"View New Posts" is just a crazy way to do it! Completely crazy!!
Although I suppose it might be because I have an eyeball on so many different forums that I become overwhelmed by that function?
My way also helps me keep my brain space in whatever "area" I'm investigating. "All the next four posts I'm reading are bug reports, now these posts are DM player requests, these are community posts ... maybe I should post another song here?" etc. And so lets me "get in the zone" as it were.

Re: How do you navigate the forums?
Nope. My engineering OCD commands me to inspect each form individually to ensure the supremely intelligent knowledge I gain from reading these lusciously literate forum posts is categorised in my mind according to forum topic category.Maecius wrote:Am I alone in my habits?

I then use the manual override archive function (aka "dump to file 13") in my brain from the *click rattle* of a bottle top hitting the floor.
But yeh, i go to index and click on relevant sections too.

Kidding, good suggestion! I'll see what can be done!
Also, thanks everybody for sharing. This gives me a good impression of what buttons to prioritize!

Re: How do you navigate the forums?
Any chance you could make a magic button : open every new message in a new tab ?
