How Do You Browse Intercot?

[Goofy4TheWorld]

I see posts (and hear Podcasts) where folks talk about not seeing some bit of information on the Boards because they "never look in that forum". This has always been odd to me because my daily/hourly/constant-refresh browsing of Intercot is done by clicking "New Posts" which allows me to browse across all forums and threads and read whatever interests me.

I am just curious...do more people browse by forum instead of just viewing all "new posts"?

(Of course the browse by forum folks may not see this thread since it is in The Water Cooler)

I always use new posts, unless I'm looking for something specific.

I typically go to "Today's Posts" and then if I feel like answering a thread or starting a new topic I login....

I am weird... I go from forum to forum, in the following order:

1.) Dining (my favorite area to read about)
2.) Accommodations
3.) Vacation Planning
4.) Theme Parks
5.) Water Cooler.

Except my order is usually:

1. Dining
2. Accommodations
3. Theme Parks
4. News, Rumors and Imagineering

Ooops, I forgot about "Today's Posts"

[DisneyMom12]

I've never seen Today's Post as a choice.

For years and years, I used to go to specific forums and had an order I did it in every day.

For whatever reason, a couple years ago I started using the "New Posts" function and that is now exclusively how I browse the boards.

I will usually check the Disneyland forums first, then click on new posts.

You have to first click "Quick Links" at the top of the window and then select "Today's Posts" from the drop-down menu.

I am pretty sure it shows all threads updated within the last 24 hours and is handy for finding a thread that you remember reading earlier in the day but one that hasn't been updated since your last visit IF your last visit was less the 24 hours ago.

For me "Today's Posts" is the way to go. I have always done it that way unless I am looking up something specific.

I always click User CP first. After I've checked out those, I click New Posts. Then, if I have time and a specific interest, I will go to different forums.

Now I'm going to learn something new. What exactly does User CP show?

[MNNHFLTX]

I always check certain forums first--Theme Parks and Accommodations, but that's because I moderate those. I would bet that a lot of moderators check by forum and not by new posts. But maybe that's just me.

Do you go there to check your subscribed threads? I can't think of another reason you would check there.

For me "Today's Posts" is the way to go. I have always done it that way unless I am looking up something specific.

I've never heard of this until today either. Learn something new every day.

By Forums...

There are a number of forums I couldn't care less about, so I don't need to know about any posts there. Normally, anything Disneyland, Trip Reports, The Locker Room, etc. I might get an bit curious based on a front page post and click through...

[SBETigg]

I do both, but most often I just check in New Posts.

Oh Goodgrief! Now I feel like a complete idiot. Over 7 years daily coming here to Intercot and I have never noticed the New Posts button.
