Finding topics on AB

[Coldicote]

Sometimes topics on AB attract many answers in a fairly short space of time. As a matter of interest where do you find those posts to reply to, if not on the Latest Posts list, which changes very quickly? Surely prople don't sit in front of their computers all day!

I'd like to know the answer to this too.

I look in latest posts, but I also check for questions in genealogy a couple of times a day.

[dotty.]

I check genealogy first when i sign in (though I am always signed in) and apart from the recent posts I might dip into some other topics, but not many,

[chrissa1]

So do people usually check their favourite topics for questions? That's what I do and check Latest Posts too.

I have certain topics that I look at each time I log on (in my case mainly Business, Music, Law, Q&P, Science and Jobs. I look at the latest posts under each section). I raely look unde rsome topics such as Home & Garden and Weather.
I would find it useful though if the latest posts box had 10-12 items rather than just 6

[Coldicote]

Thanks for your answers. At a risk of sounding inorant where do I check genealogy?

[factor-fiction]

HISTORY section.
If you click on the word TOPICS in the section at the left of the screen this will reveal all the subtopics

[Coldicote]

Thank you factor, that's interesting and I hadn't previously discovered it, though it does seem you need to have specific interests to follow.

I look to the right to see what other people are doing and if I see something I like I click on to that.

I just look at the latest posts and see if something catches my eye.

[chrissa1]

If I've asked a question I click on My Profile, Questions I've Asked and Questions I've Answered at the top of the page.

I usually check the forums which interest me first when I sign on. Then have a look in Chatterbank, but while looking in those forums / threads I periodically glance at the grey box to see if there's anything to peek my interest.

Other than that ^^^ I gaze at Answerbank all day and night.

LOL society, I knew we have something is common, square eyes.... :-)

I just look at Latest Posts mostly, but also check ones I've subscribed if something is particularly interesting.

:-) @ ^^^

[chrissa1]

What does ^^^ mean?

[boxtops]

chrissa - ^^^ means "re that earlier post"

[society]

Means I'm pointing to Boxtop who is above me.

[chrissa1]

I never Knew that. Thanks.
