Title: How do you read the forum? Post by verslagen1 on 11/01/16 at 11:23:16 There have been a number of people posting the same thing in several sections (i.e., RSD, Cafe, Marketplace, Technical, etc.) to make sure their message is read. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Rodger on 11/01/16 at 11:54:15 COMMENT: I go to RSD and Café daily, checking the new posts there. For specific information on a "burning question" in my mind, I'll access the Tech forum or the tech links on the Home page. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by stewmills on 11/01/16 at 12:23:14 I check RSD and Cafe routinely for stuff to read and/or support with my feedback or replies on stuff I have been involved in. I occasionally check the scavenger hunt to see if there is anything fun going on I can partake in. I don't use any of the shortcuts to "top lists" or "most recent posts" etc. I go where I want to go. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by gizzo on 11/01/16 at 15:58:17 I only check RSD and the Cafe. I'm not interested in guns, religion or politics so no need to look in TT. Marketplace is not much use too me being so far away. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Tocsik on 11/01/16 at 16:25:40 I hit the top 10 recent posts first then maybe go to either RSD or Cafe. REALLY sick of all the other BS on our motorcycle forum, especially the politics and Windows vs. Android threads. No offense to you that are so passionate about such things, I would just prefer it wasn't cluttering up the top 10 recent posts. There are countless other forums for those topics. I come here for community, information and diversion but really prefer it centered more around motorcycles. Lately, you really have to dig to keep away from the noise. |

I have not spotted that. How I read the forum. Navigation changed, and going Back to Top Got to be a bit more trouble than just switching sections. I hit RSD, Tall Table, Cafe, and go back and forth. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Oldfeller on 11/01/16 at 19:03:29 Tocsik is actually using a YaBB function that this site was not really structured to use, remember all of our informational organization is grouped around common theme areas and if you use the site that way you have no trash to deal with, ever. This site has more RANGE than most, we even have an area where you can be an arse to a degree and other areas where you are expected to be a gentleman sitting at a Cafe with linen table cloths and nice silverware. Taking it all as it comes "Most Recent" means always seeing stuff you don't have any interest in seeing, while if you view it by theme/area you can scan for your interests and simply ignore the items you don't want to look at. "Top 10" by hit count is very very deceptive, as what gets looked at most often by hit count likely is something of interest to a larger, web crawled, re-posted, much much broader audience. I have posted things that got picked up by the bots and I actually got multiple thousands of hits on the stuff -- when we really only have a site with only hundreds of members. Using "Most Recent" or "Top 10" means you get to see me a lot, so I would suggest you try viewing by Theme or Area to cut down on the fugly factor. ;) |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Art Webb on 11/01/16 at 19:21:51 Generally RSD and cafe, I don't do TT anymore, and I'm posting less and less |

Well I misspoke errr typed. It's the '10 most recent' not the 'top 10' so while a google search may put you on top, the ss.com 10 most recent is just that, the 10 most recent. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by youzguyz on 11/02/16 at 03:27:07 I mark all as read when I leave the site. When I come back, I go to <Home> and look for any blinky dots. If blinky dots, check that board to see if there are any posts I am interested in reading. Oh.. except TT.. I NEVER go there.. unless I am really really really.. bored. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by RaleighGuy on 11/02/16 at 06:49:08 RSD and Café every weekday. Occasionally, I go through Marketplace and barely ever look at TT. Basically, I try to remember threads that are interesting to me, and I scan for when the last posts were made on the right side of each section's page...... and if the most recent comment has been more than two days ago, I know I'm up-to-date on that thread. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by SALB on 11/02/16 at 10:36:54 SuzukiSavage.com › General Category › The Cafe › How do you read the forum? Having a duplicate link at the bottom of the page would save a lot of time scrolling. I don't know if it's a doable change? |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Oldfeller on 11/02/16 at 15:00:21 Justin, It is at the very bottom of the blue frame looking thing, left hand side. It does not show when typing text, but it does show when looking at lists of replies or posts. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by verslagen1 on 11/02/16 at 15:14:24 OF, he's using his Ken doll to read the forum. only his dog knows what OS it uses. But, yes in firefox, chrome, and the hated IE, Home and Board are on the bottom left. And we have no "back to top" We also have a "jump to forum" dropdown to switch between forum sections. |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by Tocsik on 11/02/16 at 16:14:05 Methinks perhaps it's buried under the "enter" or "return" key on his Ken doll as that's what seems to get pressed repeatedly. ;D |

Title: Re: How do you read the forum? Post by justin_o_guy2 on 11/02/16 at 18:18:49 You can just leave my Ken doll the hekk out of it! I used to be able to poke a button on the bottom of the page and Bingo Back to the top and ready to scroll to the next topic. I whined about it when it happened.. And me and Mr. Wizzard, my Ken doll, Used to navigate Jest Phine... but something changed,, and I amm okay with it now.. |
