How do you navigate these fora?
November 21, 2020 at 3:50 pm
Since I am new here I am unfamiliar with all the different fora here—plus I see many fora with latest posts older than a day etc. So I usually click on “Today’s posts” and see new threads there and add comments.
How do others navigate this site? Any good tips or tricks?

When you log in, there’s a list of fora and sub-fora to choose from.

I almost always go for the "today's posts" at the top of the screen.

Since I land here nearly every day at least once, "Todays posts" suits me fine. If you are not a daily visitor, "new posts" might be more appropriate. "my posts" gets you the threads you are actually participating in.
I have no idea why this is difficult.
I don't think asking for pointers from the usual suspects based on their experience means that difficulty is involved.

I cycle through several forums through the day. Atheist, wood working, truck, metal working and shooting. I use the "New Posts" or its equivalent at all of them. That gets you to what has happened since your last visit, pretty much. If you want to start a new thread, you'll have to drill down to the appropriate forum.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
