    I still click on "New Posts". If I want to thank a post I'll just right click on that post's number and open it in a new tab.

    I click the SRP logo first and read all of those posts. Then I use the Quick Links drop down and select "subscribed threads" and check for updates to those posts. Finally, I click the new posts and see what else I may have missed.

    i go by the front page mostly. I also check out certain forums that I have an interest in at the moment. Customs & Restorations, the Workshop, Show and Tell are the most frequent

    Sometimes I'll go back to a post I've been keeping an eye on or I'll browse to find info I'm looking for if I have a question.

    Thats it for me. Sometimes I am busy and just browse the new posts for something interesting. Sometimes I am bored and I want to delve into the historic discussion on brushes.

    For the most part I stick to certain sections and don't read others unless I'm researching something. The exceptions are if something on the "main" forums page catches my eye or someone links to a thead (which hoggie did for this one).

    My usual order

    First: User control panel (also narcissistic)
    Second: New posts
    Third: Forum topics
    Fourth: Lurk on my friends' pages to see what interesting threads they've posted to that I've missed

    I go to specific forums of my choice but this thread has made me think that I should make more use of the new posts feature so, a few days from now, that may well have changed.
