I actually never have! I like to browse around anyways, so I will make it to what I missed! :D

Nope, I just look at the icons that tell me which topics are new or which topics have new posts.

Interesting. I really enjoy using the "View posts since last visit" link. It makes it much easier to navigate through all the posts I haven't gotten to and can see what I at least checked between visits, (if I am disconnected from the site).

Hopefully this thread will get even more interesting. :)

Thank you everyone! :D

Neither do I. Like most people, I browse to where I feel like browsing. ;)

I indeed browse where I feel like browsing, too. I use the "View posts since last visit" feature 75% to 100% of the time.

Ultimately, using this feature is browsing where you feel like it, as you are accessing all the different forums during the same period of time.

I hope this feature isn't removed, if it could be. There is a reason for it, or it would never have been considered to be part of the format.

I tried it once or twice but usually had a problem following the thread. I need to see the "other replies" to follow the conversation.

Using this feature doesn't change the flow of the threads. You are able to read through the posts in a thread the same way you do when you access each forum individually.

The only difference is the threads are in the order they are posted in.

You're right!, coldfront. I don't know what I was looking at before. Now I gotta try it all over again.
