Order of browsing Gransnet

When I log on each day (yes I am addicted) I immediately go onto 'Good morning day of week' and see if Mick has told us the weather in Brackley. Then I go through 'I'm on' and reply to any posts. Next it is 'Last hour'.

I still haven't worked out what 'Watching' means.

Are there so other parts of Gransnet that would be good to browse ?

Last hour, then last day. Not a lot else.

(The woman was actually browsing Gransnet of course)

Ana Tue 04-Mar-14 12:09:50

That's more like it! grin

They could embroider that picture Phoenix put up for the tea towel. Woman sitting with feet up while husband does the work.

No, it would have to be something a bit more 'techy' than knitting needles! (and not all of us knit)

janerowena Tue 04-Mar-14 11:59:58

Better than walking sticks, though!

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 11:57:24

No! Please!

kittylester Tue 04-Mar-14 11:52:48

Wonder what the Insignia would look like? Crossed knitting needles?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 11:52:22

I bags first in line! grin

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 11:51:36

grin that made me laugh out loud!

I thought pdrhaps this was a new "gong" in the Queen's birthday honours - The Order of Browsing Gransnet grin

If threads are not replied to for a few months are they automatically dropped the system do you think ?

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 10:19:41

That's what I said. Only you explained it better. grin

Lona Tue 04-Mar-14 10:17:11

A thread may have dropped off the bottom of 'Active' in the last hour, so you can find it quickly.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 10:17:06

I go straight to Actives. Then skim through "I'm on" in case I've missed replying to anyone.

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 10:15:08

It's a mini search. I guess.

kittylester Tue 04-Mar-14 09:24:55

Can someone explain to me the benefit of 'Last hour' over 'Active'? I realise that one can see bits of the latest posts but on Active the most recently used threads appear at the top.

What am I missing confused

Iam64 Tue 04-Mar-14 09:03:01

Oh, thanks for that Kitty, I didn't know I could bookmark.

shysal Tue 04-Mar-14 08:30:45

I go straight to 'Watching' from my favourites list on BT home page. Then 'Last Hour', 'Unanswered', and 'Last Day'
I also can't cope without bookmarks, saved on last post of every thread visited.
I wish I had time to always read the 'Good Morning', 'Soop's Kitchen', and 'Today I' etc. threads, to keep up with what is happening in the lives of regulars. However, if I did, nothing else would ever get done!

DebnCreme Tue 04-Mar-14 08:24:24

I rarely get beyond 'last hour' which is a shame because I must miss a lot. Will look at the 'I'm on' thread more regularly.

annodomini Tue 04-Mar-14 08:20:52

I have a look at Last Hour first, to see what's going on and back-track if I want to know more.

Agus Tue 04-Mar-14 08:06:49

Another one who just goes to 'Active'. I probably should use bookmarks instead of all the scrolling!

Lona Tue 04-Mar-14 07:53:58

I do the same*kitty*, can't cope without my bookmarks! grin

kittylester Tue 04-Mar-14 07:50:27

I always just go to 'Active' and then, very occasionally, 'I'm on' and I bookmark threads so I know where I got to last time.
