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 ?

Erm watching lol...they are threads your interested in and posted on it saves trolling through everything...theres a watch button you click on each thread you want to watch then when you log in click on the watch button and the threads your watching all come up...

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.

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

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!

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

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.

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!

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

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

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

It's a mini search. I guess.

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.

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 10:19:41

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

NanKate Tue 04-Mar-14 11:44:27

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

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

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

grin that made me laugh out loud!

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

I bags first in line! grin

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

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

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

No! Please!

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

Better than walking sticks, though!

Ana Tue 04-Mar-14 12:00:01

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

jinglbellsfrocks Tue 04-Mar-14 12:03:49

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

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

That's more like it! grin
