How often do you go back to your posts to see if there is a reply?

[Locut0s]

When you post a new thread or even a reply how often do you go back to it, or check "Your Lastest Posts" to see if there's a reply?

 

[nageov3t]

whenever I go to AT, the "latest posts" thing is generally the first thing I check, though once a reply of mine slips beyond those posts, I usually stop looking at it unless I have reason to deliberately search for it.

 

[FoBoT]

as often as it takes
it really depends on the others, if enough people are doing their job, i can relax, but if you slackers slack off, then there are not enough active threads to reply to, then i have to go dig up some old ones

Usually once if I'm lucky, but it really depends on the thread and what I said in my reply. If I think I had a really good post due to my outstanding wit, I might check a few times.

Immediate EDIT: But in this thread? Probably not at all.

What I really mean is how often do you check "latest posts" per ATOT session. Let's say you are on the net and have the forums open in a tab for 1 hour. How often during that hour do you go back to see if there has been another reply?

if I'm actively neffing on AT, I only check at the beginning end end of my session.

though, for instance, when I'm at work, I almost always have forums.anandtech open in a firefox tab... I might refresh my latests post page once or twice an hour.

Depends, did I just blurt something in a thread and moved on or am I in the middle of an argument and waiting for a response from some schmuck

 

[Jeff7]

I usually only make posts when I have a specific question. I check when I either have time, or when I get an e-mail. If I'd like a reply quickly, I'll set Firefox's ReloadEvery extension to reload the page every 1-2 minutes.

 

[altonb1]

Crap...I lied.

I came back to check for replies.

 

[MotionMan]

Whenever I get a subscription e-mail that tells me I got a reply. Isn't that what it is for?

That option is not in your poll.

I agree with FoBoT.

What he said.

It depends on the topic and if it meets my "baller criteria"

 

[Ika]

I usually only check on my own threads.

 

[sandorski]

Back in the Good Old Days when AT's Search function worked, I did it once an hour or so.

Frequently enough to know you've got 18 replies to your stylish clock thread. You've left us all hanging. We're saddened that our suggestions were not worthy.

Never, 99% of the people here can suck it. The only reason I post is to get Mosh's attention.

lolol

 

[Kelemvor]

Every time I get the email telling me someone has replied... WHy check it manually?

 

[ATLien247]

If it's something I need a response to quickly, then I'll subscribe to my own thread. Otherwise, I'll check "Your Latest Posts" maybe once or twice a day.
