    I have bookmarked BoM in the toolbar folder (Mozilla) where you can have about 10 links just without writting or looking for it, so, is from top to down, but almost everytime, since I'm just online few minutes, can't read everything so I pass untill I found Whatnots (miscellaneas forums) and that's all. When I know I will be online for some time, I read everything, from top to down, and get to post here, like right now ;)

    I check for Pms first of which there never are any, then check Sorcerous Sundries, Whatnots and the AoDA. Then I go up to the member directory and check if any of my favourite posters have posted

    I check PMs first, then go to Sorcerous Sundries (hope I spelt that right), then the BG2 thread, then Whatnots then I check the Active Topics.

    [​IMG] You don't have to check PMs specifically to see if there are any new ones... whenever you get a new one, an envelope icon will be flashing on top of all the forum pages letting you know about it.

    Or you can turn the e-mail notification on and use a communicator plugin to alert you when new mail comes. This way, if SP server isn't overloaded, you can know of a PM coming within a minute after it's sent.

    I look at the Colloseum first, then at Whatnots to see if there's anything funny, then AoDA to see if there's anything interesting, then that's usually it. If I have the time I click the New Posts button and see if any of the thread titles catch my eye.

    I start by catching up on RBP, add my two cents and then go top to bottom. Then if I am hanging around the computer for a while I keep it on the home page and refresh to keep current while I play whatever on my other PC.

    When I'm at work I just keep reviewing top to bottom as I get a chance.

    Hmmm...

    I have the main BoM page set as one of my favorites, so that's where I end up every time I come to the BoM. From there, I glance at the top 5 news topics while I'm scrolling down to the SS, and SPS Account forum. From there, I either hit the 'End' button to take me down to the Techno Magic Forum, and scroll up to Whatnots and finally up to the BG2 forums. After I've posted a bunch, I'll start at the top and scroll all the way down to scan for new posts.

    *whew* :p :rolling:
