Do you glance on latest posts and open up most posts to see what has been posted ; or do you see some posts headings and don't even bother to open them up ?
I have a routine, I open Animals and Nature first, then Media & TV, then News and then Chatterbank. If I see anything interesting in Latest Posts, I will click on to it.
I usually only click on things that interest me in latest posts since I'm sometimes on a lot and can keep up with it between doing other things on my laptop. When I've been away however, either for work or personal reasons, I open Chatterbank, Body and Soul, News and Society and Culture or whatever it's called to see if I've missed anything juicy, but usually it's Latest Posts.
I tend to be selective about which posts I click on but I occasionally don my moderator's hat to check up on threads which seem to be generating an unusually large number of posts.
