Poll question: How many pages of DU forums do you usually peruse?
If I'm online for a long time, several pages' worth of posts may go by while I'm skimming, replying, multi-tasking, etc. But I rarely actively look back more than 2-3 pages in any given forum.

How 'bout you? How many pages do you look at regularly?

3. Wow!
Do you just leave them open in Opera or Firefox (or tabbed browser of your choosing!) Multi-task posting... I think I'd screw up and end up posting things in the wrong places, LOL.

7. I use maxthon and often (gulp) I have 250 tabs open with threads!!!!!!
And don't even ask me how many maxthons I have open sometimes!

Thank goodness for some awesome plugins its got that let me AUTOSAVE all the tabs to individual .mht (single page html, graphics and all) files! I like to keep local copies of the ebb and flow of DU.

And now I find I "re-sync" with DU when I get back to the computer by looking back usually only 3 or 4 pages to find the latest non-kicked thread I recall ... while going back I open all the threads I'm interested into new tabs with a flick of the wrist with maxthon's super-drag-and-drop.

So I don't want to vote 3 or 4 and 15-20 to me seems like you don't visit frequently enough; if DU was a drug I guess I'd be a little junky -- remind's me of something a friend said last night about some junkie's choice of heroin or cocaine: "what do you mean OR!!?? lol

I've got a nice post on maxthon's features I can dig up if anyone is interested :)

All the best,
FULL_METAL_HAT

2. I voted 4-6.....
that's when I'm bored and find nothing worthwhile to reply to.

Tonight I've only been to the 1st page of several forums. Nice evening!!!!
