Following Jeff Solenberg's thread Where do you POTN? I wondered HOW we all do it?

Do you go to a particular forum first, do you check your subscribed threads, do you go to new posts?

I get emails to subscribed threads, i check those first...

Then market watch, then possible for sale...

Then i hit general chat.... (where im at now in my routine)

Then i will check random things like lenses, bodies, maybe accessories, and critique corner depending on time.

When I open Firefox, it goes right to the forum index. Then I check the classifieds, check general chat, and then lenses. If I get bored, I check out the others.

I am all over the place. I keep a browser window open pretty much all the time. When at work and on a particularly boring meeting, POTN just seems to pop up. Working from home like today it's the same thing. All I have to say is thank goodness for net meetings else I would be stuck in some conference room full of the most humorless folks one could ever meet. :)

I usually go to general chat, unless I posted a picture before I got off last time, then I look for that and see what people had to say.

I used to go straight to the lens forum, then bodies, then people, then the market place. i don't subscribe to threads and I find the New Posts thing a bit awkward to find my way about.

General chat is a new place for me and I like it here, getting to know people a bit more personally. So now I come here first.

another vote for skyclad- when it is the right temp.
ROFL It might be more popular than you think.
My potn bookmark goes directly to subscribed threads. Then I browse from there. after subscribed threads I go to lenses, other gear, still life/experimental, or just random threads that have an interesting title showing -- no particular order.

Yeah. I'll bet it comes in handy as you switch between Photography-ON-The-Net and Porn on the Net.:lol: ;)

I feel dirty. From now on, I'm wearing a complete surgical outfit with sterilized gloves. :shock:


I tend to ramble. Feel free to put me on ignore.
