Do you look at discussions that aren't on the first page?

I think if I'm not mistaken, the more popular discussions always go back to the top although new discussions may appear to be there for a while? Especially if there are responses even though the discussion may be old already, they'll normally go back up to the top. I'll normally go through pages if I need to but normally the discussions from my friends alone are sometimes too overwhelming as they flood my inbox? Haha!~

I usually dont go further than the first page. once in a while I will go to the second page but not often and never any further. I used to when I was new and accidentally commented on discussions from like 2 years ago. I assumed that the newest discussions are all on the first page.

i look at the first page and if there is not anything i am interested in responding to then i go to the next page and so on. i tend to stay away from controversial subjects or subjects that are not worded in correct english as i do not have alot of time to figure out what someone is trying to say. i have about 15 minutes tops to spend here each day so i pick subjects that i have something to add to and many times where i feel i can help the person who wrote the discussion if they are asking for advice.

I check out many pages. I look through the top discussions. I look through the new discussions. I also look at my frinds discussions. Then I respond to the conversations I am interested in or know something about. I think it is fun to respond and meet different people even if you have different oppinions.

I seem to have to trawl through three or four pages alot of the time to find something worth replying to. There are alot of repeated topics and topics that really seem of no use on here at the moment. I found this on page four by the way! Haha!

Quote: I have noticed that most of the activity that takes place in discussions that I create takes place in a short period of time after the discussion. Well, I think it's because it's on the front page at the time, people post and go post on others and don't spend commitment to a post.

i usually go to about page 3 when i am looking for discussions to answer, unless i am really bored and have a lot of time on my hands. i think they do already. its called today's top discussions.

I check the discussion until the fourth page. Usually at the fourth page, I will find the discussion that I already read it. But it's only I do in my fav interest. usually I did it at mylot.com, gamer, life, people and question & answer. Every second there are new discussions been made by other myLotters. So I think I will find a discussion that interest me in the second, third and so on page. Keep post...

I actually found this discussion on page 4, so that tells you that I most definately look from page to page. I usually start with today's top, and I will start with page one, but on average I find maybe 1-3 discussions per page that catch my interest enough for me to want to respond. Then I'll go through the pages until I start to see discussions from a previous session. Next i'll go to the my interests and friends started and work in the same fashion. Because of the volumn of discussions and members on this site, I don't know if there is a better way up ranking the discussions. If it's a last post to the top, you'll have people bumping their discussions, which would be annoying. And to be honest, some of the most popular discussions are kind of silly. So, I think that I'd just vote to keep things the way they are.

I have my notifications on so I not only see which friends have started discussions in my email box, I also see them on the front page, and under friend's tab. I also then know who has responded to my reponses on threads I've commented on. I sometimes will start with the home page, after the other tabs just to see what grabs my attention. I also make sure to hit the "No Responses" tab once a day to give those writers a chance to be seen by people on my friends list. I think the tab feature is really nice in that you can virtually get lost in answering all of the threads within each one. Then of course there is your own personal interests. Some of my interests don't list as much as the others so I will go through my interests to find new posts, or even create new threads in order to generate discussions in areas of interest for me. I have noticed that lists tend to shift depending up activity, unlike other forums where they remain static and in the same place. I'm not sure what's more helpful to be honest. I personally like a particular forum I run in that I can always find the article/discussion in the same place I left it. However, on something as busy as Mylot I can see how it is helpful in having move towards the top and making them even more active. In terms of the interests themselves I typically, if it's a new one I've not yet looked through will go through the entire list to see what's been posted so I don't duplicate questions.

Well i think most discussed should alway be on top and if a discussion isn't respond to it moves down.

I'm looking to the discussions that aren't on the first page if there's no interesting discussions in the first page for me. Well Sometimes I can't answer to these discussions that I'm not interested LOL. Well, I'm happy with this model. Maybe because I'm just new here ~_~

i search through for topics that actually interest me. It doesn't matter if it's on the first page or the last. I responded to one yesterday that was a year old

I always go to "TODAY'S TOP", then i see my the top discussions. But i can't where is my neweset discussion, it's strange. I still don't know why. But as long as l can see other people's post, i am happy!

i scroll through and find sum thing that interets me..
