Seriously. If you reply on page five in one thread then post in 10 other threads, how in the hell do you know if someone quoted your post or even remember that you posted on page five of said thread? Great memories or what?

I chalk it up to a great memory. I'm just one of those superior kinda guys.

I use magnets.

Do you put the magnets on your screen? Do you ever have problems with the magnets scratching the whiteout?

Sticky notes. I've got sticky notes everywhere.

I print everything and tack it to the wall.

ETA: 10 seconds on the sticky notes................. I like a your style

if it is a thread I'm interested in, I'll check it again. I utilize my subscriptions and the green button regularly. this thread though, will be deleted from my subscriptions right away

No silly. I print it out and use the magnets on the frige.

How do you use your magnets?

Posted: 1/13/2012 10:36:48 AM EDT

[#18]

Well, it's the internet, so it's not that important. I generally don't worry about it. If there's something I want to check on, such as advice I've given, I do a search for threads I've replied to.

I get Ed to email me when some replies to a thread I posted to, he tags all my posts.

I have this thing called a "memory". You should try it out some time.

I have a separate window (746 right now) for every thread I've replied in, they get closed only when they hit the archive.

I'm very familiar with subscribed threads.

I'm "subscribed" to a 100 of them now but I've got no clue as to what page I posted on or where I was at when I left it.

You all are simply amazing!

I don't reply much on page 5...pretty much everything has already been said by then, and nobody is going to read it anyway.

Is this a stupid thread?

I really have sticky notes all over the place. Now the magnet idea is great for the older threads where the sticky note is losing it's sticky.

I take copious amounts of notes. In fact, I have at least two shelves full of composition books. Indexing them is a bitch, but somehow I manage.

The green icon beside the thread title in your "subrscribed threads" list automatically takes you to the last post that you read in that thread.

Ooohhhhh.... That little green button. I've always seen it but never clicked on it. That is exactly was I was looking for.

I wonder if all the arfommers that have note pads everywhere know of this neat little feature.

I don't keep up with it - One and done - I'm a "drive-by" poster, and don't expect me back here dammit.

Seriously though, I ususally start with the subscribed threads and the green button to pick up where I left off.
