Hi everyone! I wanted to say that I really like these boards and enjoy reading all your posts! I find this place a lot of fun, and since I haven't gotten to come here often, I would like to be able to. Any suggestions on how to view and post on these boards that would make things easier for me? How do you keep up with the posts here and what would be the best way to start and get into the swing of things?
I welcome and thank you in advance for any feedback.
Consider me a newbie at these new boards, because I have only made a few posts since the new boards have been in effect

:wave

Heya, Welocme to the boards...or should I say "WELCOME BACK!"

Anyway, there's not much difference between the new boards and the old ones, pretty much the same except for the fact that you can send Private Messages, avators, and um other features...

I wasn't much help, but it's the thought that counts, right? ;)

I spend my mornings, afternoons, and nights on here

:D

My advice would be to stick to topics that interest you, it would be impossible to keep up with everything. If you visit daily, then use the 'View Today's Threads' link at the top of the page. Use the 'down arrow keys' - they will take you to your latest unread posts.. a definite time saver.

Wren, do you really have over 3000 posts on the GSN boards? Wow! and in less then 2 months? You would be the #1 poster here with those kind of numbers. Look out Sean Feeney Snow! I don't think there are any posters here that average 80 posts per day. :)

I'm not sure if that question can be easily answered. The files on the side of each thread indicate whether there has been any new posts since you last checked it. When the files are red, that means it has a new post.


Other than that, I can't help.

Thanks everyone, especially TJ and Max, as you have given me some great tips! T.J., yes I do have over 3,000 posts at the GSN boards, and many of the posts were at the tech support, (granted, not hundreds, but many,) as I was attempting to help people familiarize themselves with the new boards, customized avatars and private messaging. Then, of course, the games. What can I say? They're fun. LOL I guess it is like a family over there to me, as I am certain it will be here, too, once I figure things out.
However, I don't think Sean Feeney Snow needs to worry, as I don't imagine myself hitting 3,000 here in such a short period of time as I did at the GSN boards. :)
Again, thanks a lot for your help, TJ. By the way, I love your avatar! :D
