Poll: How do you normally surf AAPK?

[Steve Warden]

Yup. Eyes first to notifications, then Unread Posts.
Going to New posts clutters up with posts that, while new, I may have already read.

That’s not a bad idea, Steve. I might have to give that a try.

And the latest unread posts always show up at the top of the list.
Best of both - the new unread at the top!

excellent point Steve, this may change my navigation habits, thank you!

[philco]

I've been clicking on "Unread Posts" since Hector was a pup.

[Dinadan]

I always start with New posts. After that it is a bit random.

[doglegg]

My eyes go immediately to my notifications to see if I have any. Then if I don’t, I go to New Posts.

That's it for me as well. (There Railsplitter you have a notification).

Interesting that nobody has said specific forum (knife brand, repair, etc) as was the case 22% of the time in the poll taken in 2017

[ThatWeirdKnifeGuy]

I do the usual new posts. Then I go to active topics.

New Posts for me, then Notifications. I did start using Unread Posts recently because New Posts were down.

Hard to believe this is the first I have seen this poll.

I usually start with new posts as well. I too have thought the new post count was down lately, but I figured it was just my imagination.

Tom, can you verify the post count now and if it has dropped from what it had been?
I see a lot of familiar faces on knife sites on facebook. I'm wondering if facebook hasn't siphoned off some of our members, or at least part of their social media time.

I'm liable to go down any rabbit hole but I l reckon I start at the FCD most mornings and go from there.

[glennbad]

I don't usually go to "new posts". I just go to General first, then Knife Q&A, than to the mechanics area...not necessarily in that order

[MissouriGuerrilla]

I start my day with the General Off Topic Discussion by going straight to First Cup Diner. Then I go back to the main page and noodle around. No order or specific subject.

[Mumbleypeg]

I still start with “New Posts”. From there who knows what rathole I’ll go down. I tried “Unread Posts” for a short while until I realized I was wasting time reviewing posts I didn’t read because I wasn’t interested the first time. I usually make a visit to several of the brand-specific forums - Case, Remington, Cattaraugus, Robeson, etc to see if I missed anything on those of particular interest to me. Every few days when I remember it I look at “Unanswered topics” just to see if anyone got accidentally ignored - especially new folks, and try to respond with something.

I check the notifications first, then usually go to General and see what's going on. After that, I wander around depending on how much time I have to browse. I like the Knife Lore section for reading/learning, but don't usually have a lot to contribute there.
