What????????

[tcav88]

I agree with jaws. I hardly ever search old threads if I have a question or need info about something specific. I just start a new thread.

I pick threads mostly on fish that interest me, ones I've owned, or ones I'd like to get in the future.
When I'm bored I'll look at a bit of everything. I like seeing fish I've never heard of before and seeing everyone's tank scapes.
There isn't anything specific that draws me to a topic as far as views/likes/ or comments.

I pick threads that the topic interests me. I also try to look at threads with little or no replies to see if I maybe able to help. Sometimes I can sometimes I can't.

I also try to look at threads from new members and at the very least greet them even if I can't help with their question. I feel that if it's a first time poster and they get zero response they will never return to MFK.

agreed! Nice to see everyones response.... I feel sometimes more replies will have more good info......

What makes you click on a thread basically is what im saying i guess just wondering. Do threads that have more replies draw you in? How about having a lot of views? Etc

If I searching then I would look for the thread with more replies because it's common sense that you will get or find the answer you looking, it's sometime not entirely true since some threads got derailed by MILES compare to original topic

I do search for old threads. I sometimes even post on them, hoping to reopen a dead discussion, some of them are really good and could use more attention. I usually pick threads with topics that I either know about or want to know about. I also avoid threads with a lot of replies, as i don't like reading through a meandering conversation trying to keep track of whatis going on. I also don't like the long threads because at some point, they usually start to be about more than one thing, and really should be two or more threads. In short, I try to stick t shorter threads as they are easier to deal with.

I usually click on threads that are titled as a question, the more opaque the more likely I'll click on it. I'm a sucker, I know. Threads like "What?????????" and "Why?" etc.

Other than that I generally just click whatever sparks my interest in the moment.

My preference is interesting threads or ones I can help on. As a result, 90% most of the time, I'm reading through threads just to learn. Probably half of my posts I delete before I hit 'post reply' because I've lost interest in posting by then. Go figure!

Threads that I've already posted in are ones I try to avoid posting in again.

Old threads, I read, but don't post in, since imo, old means people lost interest in continuing them or said all that needed to be said, so I read it and move on. (I really don't care for it when someone bumps an old thread for no apparent reason.) This doesn't mean that many old threads aren't great. They're great! Just done.

It matters what the thread is about.

I have to read as many posts as possible for obvious reasons...

I never look at replies or views. Only if the subject interests me or i can help the poster in some way

Pretty much hit it on the head for me.
