I usually skip down 'Active' then do 'I'm on'. But I always seem to get to the interesting posts ages after everyone else. sad What do you do?

Thanx to this thread ...my day is now starting with 'Active'!! grin

I always go to "Watching" so that I can catch up with threads that I've been particularly interested in following. I prune the watching list every week or so to clear out older items. Then I go to "last day" and "last hour"

Go straight to active but usually don't get far, being a hands on gran I am more likely to switch the computer on for 10 mins of Jack and the Netherland Pirates to keep gd quiet while I to drink a cup of coffee. I look forward to the day when I do have time to read everything and respond to posts that interest me.

I go straight to last hour and then unanswered smile

"I'm on", then 'Active' then if there is time, 'Last Day'. If I pop back later I start with 'Last hour'. smile

I'm an active fan

soop Sat 28-Apr-12 13:33:46

Depends how trigger happy I am. grin
Golden Your posts are very much appreciated smile

Jacey Sat 28-Apr-12 13:08:32

Not that there is much difference between 'active' and 'last day' at the moment! grin

Woody Sat 28-Apr-12 13:06:47

Well I've learnt something else today! I didnt realise there was an "active" button only ever used "last hour and last day" that shows I should be a bit more observant! Thanks for that tip.

Jacey Sat 28-Apr-12 13:06:26

Last hour, last day ...hadn't realised about 'active' or 'I'm on' ...have usually done the later via 'search' (which isn't as clear!) Thanx for kittyleester sunshine

MaggieP Sat 28-Apr-12 12:47:32

Last hour, last day then active then check I'm on if I have written a thread lately to see if any responses!
It is certainly addictive , when I have time. DH now comments that I am on the Gransnet site again! smile

Faye Sat 28-Apr-12 12:18:52

I start with last hour, then last day, then back to last hour.

GoldenGran you have lots of interesting things to say. If we all listened to what we thought of ourselves none of us would post a comment! hmm

Nonu Sat 28-Apr-12 11:44:48

Last hour , then last day , then unanswered , then active

Ariadne Fri 27-Apr-12 20:40:28

Always start with Active.

glassortwo Fri 27-Apr-12 20:05:36

F5 all the time.

glassortwo Fri 27-Apr-12 20:04:40

I always start with Active, in fact I spend most days there grin

GoldenGran Fri 27-Apr-12 19:42:24

Istart with last hour, but I realise that why I'm always coming in to something half way through and so don't have anything more to add. I will do the active thing from now on and who knows, I may one day have something interesting to say!

shysal Fri 27-Apr-12 19:37:18

I always start with watched, then unanswered, last hour and last day depending on when I last looked. I only use active if I have missed more than 24 hours.

greenmossgiel Fri 27-Apr-12 19:17:59

I just go on Active all the time.

whenim64 Fri 27-Apr-12 19:14:35

Strain Jingle! grin

I refresh the page by pressing F5 at the top of my keyboard.

imjingl Fri 27-Apr-12 19:11:15

Oh you mean on the 'puter!

I was looking on the site.

I asked for one but Matron Geraldine said 'no! Said I might that syndrome from too much clicking! Repetitive something.

nanachrissy Fri 27-Apr-12 18:50:43

Jack It's a circular arrow at the end of the link bar at the top of my screen. If you click on it after reading the last posting, it will bring any new posts up, that have happened in the minute while you were reading!

jack Fri 27-Apr-12 18:47:00

I usually start with 'last hour' to see what's firing everyone up. Then I look at 'I'm on' in case there's been a response to a comment or a thought. I'll now try 'active' and 'watching' (as advised).

Where's the refresh icon nanachrissy? And what does it do?

jeni Fri 27-Apr-12 18:45:10

I go straight to last hour!

glammanana Fri 27-Apr-12 18:45:05

I always start on Active then browse Last Hour then last Day usually in that order unless I am caught by something really important,I try to pop back in after lunch to see if any drastic changes if not I try and catch up about this time whilst mr.glamma has the news on TV.
