How Do You Read Forum Posts?

[MistaFreeze]

I always read from the bottom to top for some reason. Maybe because these topics take me to the last post when I click them. Just curious how you guys browse them.

top to bottom, how else would you know what's the thread is about?

As if that is the goal of reading threads.

Edit: I start at the end looking for any low hanging fruit that I can post a snarky reply to.

Top to bottom for new ones, begin at last for the older ones that I am subscribed to...

 

[blackdogdeek]

Chronologically, which with my setup here means Top to Bottom.

If I'm new to the thread, I'll often read the last post first. If it's interesting and the thread isn't 18 pages long, I go back and read from the top.

I'm a member of another forum where they use their own in-house forum software that links from the thread list to the first unread post in the thread, making it a pain to simply read the last post in the thread. Stupid.

reading threads is easy since there are only a handful of people not on my ignore list.

^^ is a big booby.

He can't see this anyway. :biggrin:

I just use the search function and see if the thread mentions my name. It I ain't in there, the thread is a bore, B O R E, bore.

If you set the display mode to linear - newest first and want to start at the beginning of the thread, you'd be reading bottom to top.

 

[rudeguy]

all this talk about tops and bottoms has me worked up

 

[Jaskalas]

Well... generally top to bottom, assuming skimming through or skipping multiple pages in the middle count.

 

[RossMAN]

Top to bottom

Long ass thread, bottom, skip a dozen, up, skip another dozen, make assumption.
