    Default What’s the best way to keep up to date on the forum?

    Hi, I’ve been a member for a while, and recently have become more active in the forum and browsing through it. My question is;How does everyone use the links? How do you keep up to date with the most recent threads? Like Facebook, which I’ve removed myself from, csn I select “most recent” or “ popular” ? Thanks.

    If you visit regularly going straight to the 'New Posts' link is probably the best and easiest way.

    Yep 'New Posts', lists all posts for the last few days and will also tell you what new posts have appeared since your last visit to the "new posts" page.

    I have the new posts page permanently open in a browser and every time I want to see "what's new" just refresh that page. Same for Metal workers forums.

    New Posts will show you everything, which means sorting through a lot of posts. You should alternatively be able to subscribe to particular sub-forums that are of most interest to you. Unfortunately that function doesn't work for some sub-forums - i am subscribed to five that don't send updates. But you can try.
    In any sub-forum if you look above the dark brown horizontal line at the top you will see a menu called "Forum Tools". in there you will see "subscribe to this forum".

    Yep. New Posts.

    Just be aware that if you reply to something in New Posts, then decide you want to go back and edit it for some reason, clicking 'New Posts' again will NOT include your reply.

    That thread won't be shown again and you'll have to manually locate it. (Mind you, 'back' buttons on browsers are good for that. )

    Well... not until someone else posts a reply to that thread.
    I may be weird, but I'm saving up to become eccentric.

    Hi,
    Clicking on "today's posts" in "quick links" brings up the ones you have read and/or answered.
    Regards
