    Default How do you browse DF?

    Marcode brought it to my attention that people usually just stick to the New Posts tab at the top of the page. I usually just keep the Index (Home Page) open and hit refresh every few minutes. Thats why I found the 5 latest posts box at the bottom of the page handy before it got removed.

    Same as Marcode, just use the New Posts button, used to refresh the index page of forums when I first started using them years ago but once I got used to using New Posts there's no way back imho

    Used to miss too many posts when I was trawling individual subforums manually, used to take me ages on dialup!

    Just pick the sub forums I am interested in today and delve in.

    A lot of the new posts are not really of any interest to me, so too much to take in.

    New posts for me, its easier to recognise new posts and easier to read through. I sometimes do the index so I can have a look at sections that haven't been posted in for a while.

    "New Posts" and then if there is only one or two new since my previous 30 second refresh, i punch my monitor and go "fucking tossers POST SOMETHING DECENT FFS!!"

    I then press F5 again to be presented with a "This forum requires that you wait 30 seconds between searches. Please try again in 4 seconds."

    I then refresh a final time to find a thread presenting me with something worthwhile reading and the world is a happy place once again.
