how does everyone search the forums

I'm probably weird,but the first thing I do Is just hit the NEW POSTS button and go from there.I might scan through 3-4 pages of those and then maybe just hit my profile to see all posts from myself to see if anyone else has replied to other threads that I have posted on as well.Then I might hit the NEW POSTS button again to see If there are any more new posts and go through all the pages of new posts.
I've pretty much done It that way for 3 1/2 years now.

How do you search the forums?

I do it the same way unless I am looking for something specific that I have seen before, then I search for the subject.

New posts, about 5 pages full. Then I check the coupon forum to see if there is anyone I can help. Then I bug some of the mods...hehehehe

Pretty Simple!!!

I click new posts too. I find it easiest that way because I can see what is new right off the bat to make sure I am not missing anything- then I may hit CVS to see if there is anythingk I have missed- ex. new coupons on the generator- or whatever!

I check control panel/control panel to see the posts I have opted to subscribe to. This way I can see if anyone has made a response that I need/want to read to one of these.

Next, I check new posts button at top of page to see what is going on at AFC.

If I am about to go out on a run to CVS, I check that thread for latest news and coupons.

Before I head out for my grocery and/or CVS shopping expedition, I sit down the night before or that morning and print all the coupons. Basically when it is time to print, I simply find the ones I want and they open in a new "page." I keep doing this until I have all open that I desire. Then I start printing. This seems to be more efficient for me. When I am doing this, I try to remember the different posts for specific couons that are available.

Lots of ways to get the drift of what is going on here at AFC. If you have a favorite member who you like to read their posts, you can find them in the list of names at the bottom of the forum page, click their name, click "find all posts by member," and there they are. You can see what your friend is up to and saying. Neat deal.

I haven't figured out the "Buddy" deal, yet. Someday soon, perhaps.

I check New Posts but I am one of those that starts about Page 5 and work forward! Then I go check on the Auctions, Trains.......then I go to work merging, moving, cleaning up forums, PM'ing folks to update their posts, etc. Sorry, just had to get that "Update Your Post" plug in. Late night I go to the very back of new posts and go forward and try to Welcome all the new folks that come in under the Welcome Mat. I think it is very important to do that! Everyday I have to clear my mailbox out tho. I don't have time to do the Subscription thing....there is just too many things I might miss and I'm not hung up on one thing that much that I want to subscribe to it. It's just as easy for me to click around to where I want to go!

A slight variation on this - I subscribe to the threads that I am interested on reading other's response to, but opt for "instant email notification" so that Yahoo Messenger notifies me immediately when someone has posted something
