Exploring MyLot - Have you ever seen.....?

I do stop at red lights, but I am not always that observant on line.

I must admit that on sites I enjoy, I quickly learn to do what I have to and do not spend a lot of time learning the ropes. When I was young I learned to drive and wanted to jump right on the open road immediately. So with MyLot I still have a thing or two to learn. I finally figured out the "Explore" button. In typical fashion though, I looked at the top top menu items and off I went. Tonight I finally read the whole list (which is as follows): Interesting Discussions Top Rated Discussions Most Recent Discussions Most Recent Activity Hot Discussions New User Discussions AND.....(drumroll please) Discussions w/ No Response I may have glanced down the list, but tonight my eyes stalled on "Discussions w/ No Response". So I clicked and "I'll be...." there were discussions with no responses. It made me think is this a distinction and an honor or is it a not so good thing to make this list. In the last couple days though I started going through the "Interesting" and "Top Rated" discussions and was surprised to find some of my own in the former category. Secretly I want to make the "Top Rated" but that is getting off topic. So now I am thinking about whether I made the "w/ No Response" ever. Rather than dwell on this conundrum, I decided that my goal is to read some of the "w/ No Response" posts. It may be a great way to find some untracked gems and new territory. Am I the only one who sometimes skips through a bit too fast? Either way, I am off to the land of no responses. [The irony would be if no one responds to this post and it ends up....]

I seldom go there. I always stay with Recent Discussions. I think I like Recent Discussions because these people who have just start a discussion are still online.

@sheng1 Well guess what. As soon as I posted this article, I went to the "No Response" and there it was. So maybe I figured out a thing or two about that tab. Thanks for being the first response and now I have to go check if I left that category.

@desertdawg haha, guess you will help all those discussion threads move from No Response to Most Recent Activity.

@scheng1 Guess you are right. I have already found some interesting things to read there. It's like an adventure and if I knock them off that page...I bet they will not mind at all. Have a great day.

My routine is to clear my notifications first, then go to "Their Discussion" under Follows. After making responses to the posts of those I follow I will then go to "Most Recent Discussions". After that if I still have some time I check the "Discussions with no Responses". That's how I do it.

@desertdawg Yeah, good sorting techniques. I had to prioritize those who follows me since they are the ones interacting most in my discussions.

i dont go to Top Rated or Interesting discussions, i just stay on Most recent discussions cause its where you see everything -- no response topics, interesting topics and others.

Sometimes I go through the discussions with no responses. I still have to understand after how many minutes (or hours) from posting they land there.

I oftentimes go to recent discussion, then the top rated and interesting. I'm sorry I seldom go to discussion with no response.

@Macarrosel I think I figured out that all posts must go there till someone responds, then off they go somewhere else. I just got back from reading quite a few and commenting...found some really interesting stuff. Most of them were pretty "fresh" it seems.

I try to combine all together, but like to go Discussions w/ no response, most recent discussions, most recent activities, interesting discussions, and so forth. I get antsy staring at the same page for too long

I go through the list all the time from top (Interesting) to bottom (With No Response). I like to be the first responder on discussions I'm interested with. I know I can catch those in 'Most Recent' category, but sometimes I'd still find a few of them that have been buried in the 'No Response' for many hours.

You're certainly exploring and navigating around the site. That's good. That's great to take some time out to check posts that were deserted. Greatly appreciated.
