Do you read All Forums Topics

[ Edited ]

Just curious.  Do you read All Forum Topics or do you just go to the Topics you are interested in such as Beauty?  I select View All Forum Topics and run thru them picking and choosing the ones that interest me.   I have found threads of interest that way in topics I would not normally hand select; for instance in Garden or Sports, but I at least see them in View All and may find something interesting.  Also see what others are interested in.

Usually I use my view that lists the threads by when they are entered, so all categories are mixed.  Occasionally, I will look by topic.

I usually just go to forums that interest me.  I try not to be baited by some topics such as Susan Graver since they mostly turn out to be Susan bashing, and other topics as well.

Re: Do you read All Forums Topics

There not enough hours in the day to read every topic.  Generally, I read Community Chat, Among Friends and cruise around Fashion and TV.  I don't read every single post in those tbings.  Not hours in the day to do that either,  I don't respond to every post either.  Some people take boards like this very seriously,  I don't even though I spend a lot of time here.  I just wander around, especially when I'm watching TV.

I read the most current and then if I have time or interest I look at TV or Community Chat.  And if I have an interest in some item category I then search or post there as in Recipes or Electronices or whatever I need or want to share.

I first look at All Forum Topics then I will go to some of the individual categories I’m interested in to look at any new posts on old threads that I want to read.

Re: Do you read All Forums Topics

I don’t routinely seek out a list of all the most recent threads in every area. Sometimes I see it (list) almost accidentally and might be prompted to click on something I normally wouldn’t see, but normally I stick to a variety of several forums I find the most interesting most of the time. There are quite a few forums I rarely or never venture into simply because I have no interest at all in those areas.

Re: Do you read All Forums Topics

I have never clicked on well over half of the topics listed.  There are maybe 4 that I always read, and a couple others that I sometimes read.

I lurk and sometimes post on many of the Q forums.

I avoid the sports, book club, and usually my favorite brands forums.
