How Do You Read eplaya?

theCryptofishist · Post by **theCryptofishist** » Tue Jun 30, 2009 8:54 pm

I tend to work my way through the fora, ending with "Open Discussion." Anything lower than that doesn't exist to me, nor does the Regionals forum. I check into the tickets forum but only read that if there's a "miracle" thread. Then I press the button to clear all the others. I skip a lot of threads in this forum, some are too silly or too depressing to read. I skip "My Favorite Movie on YouTube Today" when I'm at work, or at home if I'm listening to music. I like to see no yellow folders in the fora I read when I log out again. Tribe.net is now the one I keep open by default.

I am almost with you on that one... Tribe has been getting better lately.

It's still slow, but technically it's less buggy these days.

Tonight, I'm read the Eplaya while sitting in Lamont Ca. in a Howard Johnson room. In my tighty whities, with the laptop on my lap. That's how I roll....

then, it's time for lunch..........

On and off again, depending upon my mood. And haphazardly choosing which threads to read, unless I am currently following some. Generally I read it on my desktop at home, but sometimes I read it on my notebook computer, if I am somewhere with access.

Right now I am scaling back again on reading eplaya (and other sites.) I've got some other stuff I should/need to get done.

I always use the Post Since Last Visit and that's it. I don't thinnk I ever viewed the forum lists.

I either start from the bottom and work up, or start at the top and work down. If I start in the middle I forget where I was, like walking into a room and forgetting why I was in there .

For me it's almost always the "View Posts Since Last Visit" button. I was very happy when I found that!

Sigh. First, I glance up at messages... I cringe when I have personal messages, they most often aren't happy things. If I see a post in feedback, I go there first. Then I begin from the top down, unless I have problem threads which I check first. I don't always get to read everything, because there's a buttload of nonsense and topics I find terminally dull. Sometimes I miss entire bitch sessions because a sleepy thread blows up in the middle of the night and I don't hit it until later that day.

Fishy, you missed some good shit in regionals and feedback last week.

If someone tipped me off, I'd have a look.

Sorry it's so hard on you, AntiM.

I just like to whine.

I find my retention is notably better when I read it from left to right.

I too use the View Posts Since Last Visit feature. A 2nd login can come in handy if you go a week without checking. If you don't get through all 5 pages or so before you have to log off, you can then login with the 2nd one and get the last bit of it.

I always avoid the politics ones and YouTube stuff. The PC I use is in a public space so I rarely watch videos and if I do so, I do it silently.

* The Bar first.
* Then the Fuck thread.
* Then the Don't Post thread.....just to annoy mdmf007. xoxoxo
* I like to check out the Rest In Peace thread on occasion.
* I used to visit the Red Tent years ago but now I'm post-menopausal and no longer have periods. YAY!!! HAPPY DANCE!!! And you can't imagine how happy I am saving money on tampons. Sometimes I miss my bleeding. It was soooo cleansing.

favorite threads, sometimes i just look to see if favorite posters have done anything lately .... so i miss a lot, but don't want to spend all day here ...

I use - View posts since last visit. Top down, bottom up or cherry pick. I view ePlaya just enough to have about 4 to 6 topics on the second page.

I'm no 'hard hitter' on here, I just look for a certain type of soul on here so as to connect, I try to 'display' myself honestly. I am relatively new to computers and internet communications, though have to admit I have met some people both physically and just via typeing that I truly adore, - this site and others!!!!. I've opened up to it a bit in all honestly- seemed foolish not to! My wavelength is 'particular' without being 'snobby' - Life is, after all, short! My friends are amazing but I'm stunned that I've 'met' people via internet that are equally as admirable. I like to admire and to compliment. I've never been truly offended by anyone on eplaya, I am extremely intelligent, though very poorly educated! and I have found some of the wisdom, integrity, kindness and intellect on eplaya quite refreshing. Not all people to be honest! But I fuck up too!!!!!
In a nutshell, there are a lot of good characters here in a relatively small space. I was surprised by this and pleased by that.

Other than that I usually cover up one of my eyes so that I can see straight.

Left to right, top to bottom... (Ha! I'm sofa king funny!)

I use the View Posts Since Last Visit option. Much easier than perusing each forum individually for me.
