This question was asked once before about 2 years ago but I would like to hear every ones response now. How do you browse CodeCall? How do you find the threads that you post in?

For me it is a combination of using the how page and scanning the forum home.

I generally browse directly to forum.codecall.net, and I do my best to read all posts. Each forum has a precedence (admin, mod, php, html, C++, java, lounge, intros, ect...). Each time I load CodeCall, I will check each forum for new posts (in order of precedence); If there is a new post I will read it/reply. At the end of the day, if I didn't read all the new posts/replys, I will mark all the forums as read and start the cycle again when I get up.

The first thing I do is to check the tab "New Threads" on the frontpage. I pick all the threads I'm finding interesting, and open them all in new tabs in Firefox. Then I'm going to the forum and check my "User CP", where I open all threads which recently have received new replies. And then I'm checking "New Posts", where I simply pick all the threads I'm finding interesting.
When I've done all this I start going through the threads I've opened in all the tabs, to see if I can contribute in some of them. The amount of tabs can be really high, if I haven't checked the forum for a while.

I go directly to forum.codecall.net (I rarely visit the homepage) then I press CTRL+the forums I'm interested in, so they all open in new tabs, then i go tab by tab and press CTRL+all the new threads.. so all the threads open in a new tab. And then When I have a few tabs open I start reading.

Interesting. I may start opening additional tabs. I also forgot to mention the emails. I generally check my email first and read every new post that I am subscribed to (which is every thread I've ever replied in).

The emails? I actually like them - it is how I knew you replied to this thread just now.

Well I find them quite annoying... I do subscribe to threads.. but I turn off email notification. Even the emails that I receive about the infractions etc... they quite annoy me.

I generally go directly to forum.codecall.net. If I have messages, I deal with those first. Then I hit New Posts and open in tabs those that either look suspicious or relevant to my areas of knowledge/responsibility. Once I've gone through the 2-3 pages of new posts, I then deal with them, closing each tab as I finish reading/replying to it.

Depending on how much time is left in lunch, I'll usually then deal with User CP stuff and then move on to digg.com.

I just use the New Posts button, or the email ones. Considering I check every day, I rarely miss a post! :)
