Title: How do you keep up with posts?
Post by: Master Moderator on September 25, 2010, 11:50:39 am

How do fellow members keep up with reading posts in this forum, outside this forum? I use Google reader. I just copy paste the URL of this forum into Google Reader.

Would be nice to know what other people do.,

Thanks

Admin

My google reader is so full from the blogs I follow I wouldn't dare add this forum  :o :o

I do use my iphone though when out and killing time to log in - still can't keep up to date. I have 52 pages of unread topics  :-)) on a brighter note - not being able to keep up is a WONDERFUL sign of growth which I love  :D :D

I don't have any other way than logging on and reading through the 'show unread posts' on a daily basis - suits me though.

Yes we are growing like crazy.

I suppose the "show unread posts......" is useful here.

I really like Google Reader as it gathers all subscribed information into one application. But as you say, it does become an information overhaul.

Thanks for your feedback

:-)

I use the "show unread posts" function.  When I first joined, I read everything.  I still try and keep up to date, but am using subjects more and more as a guide - they're useful to skip ones where the recipe is not something we'd be able to eat.

Google Reader is great for all the recipe blogs I follow.

I haven't tried Google Reader, must check it out. I use tabs (Mozilla) and have one on 'unread posts' and the other on 'new replies to your posts' in case someone has a question about something I've posted.

I really struggle sometimes, especially if, as recently, I have been away for a few days and it coincides with Thermomixer being very active....  ;D ;D

I always use Show Unread Posts and skip quite a few if I'm in a hurry.   It's a shame because I used to enjoy reading all of them.

But as others have said, it's a good sign of how big this community is growing.

I  try daily to read unread and skim.

I  try to read everyday as it is such a big job if I can't. Otherwise I tend to read all of the boards I moderate and with others skim and select the areas of interest.  What was so easy before is now not so easy. I love it though. The recipes and hints and tips we have here really keep the Thermomix rolling. As I have said many times before this forum is responsible for so many of the things I try.
I know of 2 people who have a TMX and hardly ever use them. They say they are too busy to use the site and to be honest I think it would help them so much. One person uses is to mix drinks and nothing else. :'( :'( :'(

WITH GREAT BLOODY DIFFICULTY  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I tried google reader but it only seemed to have the first few lines and so it annoyed me.  Maybe I just don't know how to set it up properly.

Also, some people make heaps of comments  :-)) :-)) :-)) :-)) and you can't do that from Google reader  ;)

OMG - just noticed it's over 8000 now  :o :o :o :o

I don't know what half of you are talking about with "google reader"  ??? I am fairly ignorant when it comes to all things technical. I'm proud as punch that I've managed to find my way in here!!  ;D

Anyway, as for keeping up with posts.. I'd be lost without the "show unread posts" / "show new replies" function!

I scroll right to the bottom of the home page to Info Center - Forum Stats and click on "View the most recent posts on the forum". This gives me 10 pages which usually means that if I check it once a day (or twice on a busy day) that I can keep up with everything that is going on. If something takes my fancy or I think there is a photo involved, I right click on the link and open in a new tab so I always have my original list to go back to. Works well for me.

 :D :D :D I'm with you salval - have no idea what google reader is and for a computer illiterate person think I am doing well to do what I do do on here.  Hope you are not intending to change things Mr Moderator  :-* :-*
