How do you browse GeekHack?

[njbair]

How do you keep up with GH? Desktop or mobile? Watch or notify? Do you browse the Unread or Spy tabs? Do you try to read everything new or just focus on a set of forums that interest you? I'm asking because sometimes I find a thread that's a few days old and think, "how on earth did I miss this one?"

I'll start. I usually check Watched first, as that's an automatic list of every thread I've posted to (and sometimes which I've manually clicked the watch button). If I get through that and I'm still looking for something to read, I'll check the Unread tab. But I don't bother marking anything read unless I've actually read it, so sometimes Unread becomes very cluttered.

Every once in a while I'll start at the Home tab and browse through the individual forums of interest for new stuff.

So how about you? How do you keep up with everything?

[Air tree]

I just check all the forums, and if anything interests me in a certain section, I'll check what is new in this section when it pops up, I use spy a bit, probably should more, it's such a useful tool. I use the spy feature on DT almost all the time. I don't know why I don't on Geekhack..

I mostly try to browse everything, and then give some useless comment/snark in reply, trying my best to go off topic.

What's the difference between Spy, and just reloading Unread?

[inanis]

I use Spy, mainly.  I read pretty much everything. From 9-5 on weekdays I browse from my laptop, all other times are my mobile.

I believe spy updates with all new created threads on geekhack and ones that you haven't clicked already.

Or I'm not understanding fully how the unread feature works. I honestly haven't even noticed it was there, until now.

I think both tabs show every thread with unread posts, new or old. But Spy just reloads automatically so it's always up to date. At least that's my understanding.

[raymogi]

I just use Unread everytime I visit GH.

Oh and btw, is there a way to turn off watching topic by default?

Go to your profile area, and there is a drop down menu that has says "modify profile then go to "notifications" and then you'll have an option on that screen.

[jbondeson]

I mostly use Spy switching between my phone and computer.

Rarely use subscribe or unread on anything but the marketplace subforums.

[fknraiden]

I almost exclusively use spy along with bookmarked threads.

[njbair]

So far, Spy seems to be a lot more popular than I realized.

[Puddsy]

i don't like spy

I don't use tapatalk, spy, or even mobile 90% of the time.

Ohhhh. I was thinking you were able to hide just one subforum in a list, rather than the whole category.

[Evo_Spec]

I use my desktop PC and go through unread. I like the button on the spy page where i can click to see the last post that i saw but i don't like how spy refreshes and moves stuff.
I use mobile to check notifications of people quoting me or PM'ing me, most of i time i then go to the PC to reply

Nothing is turned on there though.

It's not the 'notify' part that I have a problem with, it's the 'watch' button on the top of every thread. It's always watching topics by default, so I have to 'unwatch' manually.

I believe what hwood was trying to say is circlejerking and bantering is fine, but if you guys, beehatch, demik and the rest of the gang could not use every single Thread for it, that would be great, get yourself an irc/skype. Or even make your own thread for that purpose.

Yeah to be completely honest, I have noticed this myself. I feel that a lot of lurkers and newbies are probably put off, when they see irrelevant posts and circle jerking between a small group of people. Personally, I feel it derail threads, and never really feel like posting after reading it, cause I'd feel rude interrupting the circle jerk

Maybe blocking would solve things, but it really wouldn't, cause all the lurkers and newbies will still be affected by all the rampant, irrelevant, thread-crapping circle jerking.

I sometimes use Spy, but I feel that I get the best GH experience by browsing "Watched" to see if there are any updates to the threads that interest me, and "Unread" if I've got time to check out some new stuff.

I sometimes use Spy, but I feel that I get the best GH experience by browsing "Watched" to see if there are any updates to the threads that interest me, and "Unread" if I've got time to check out some new stuff.

so report it. mods are good with deleting irrelevant posts. we have these tools for a reason.  it's not that hard. and it's easier than complaining.

just don't do it too much, you'll get muted/post reporting time out/banned. i'd say ask kmiller8 but he's still banned.

I believe what hwood was trying to say is circlejerking and bantering is fine, but if you guys, beehatch, demik and the rest of the gang could not use every single Thread for it, that would be great, get yourself an irc/skype. Or even make your own thread for that purpose.
Thanks.


Regarding the thread, I browse using Watched, I tag the thread I'm interested in with Watch to follow them, rest is done through unread. Very rarely spy or per subforum.

block me

I have yet to block anyone on GH, and if I had to you'll not be on top of the list, sorry to disappoint you again, but I don't hate you.

Am I on the top?

Please stop trying so hard to be interesting, you just end up being pathetic.

I use unread or participated on tapatalk.
Spy on desktop.

No comment on what I wear.

[baldgye]

i don't like spy

then i wait like 30 secs and do it again

[whentheclouds]

i don't really care what the kool kids are up to, but Ignore needs to be a fleshed out feature and not a half ass implemented function like it currently is

am I on the top?

you're definitely on top of my comedian list with all these faannny jokes you made in this here thread

Yeah to be completely honest, I have noticed this myself. I feel that a lot of lurkers and newbies are probably put off, when they see irrelevant posts and circle jerking between a small group of people. Personally, I feel it derail threads, and never really feel like posting after reading it, cause I'd feel rude interrupting the circle jerk

Maybe blocking would solve things, but it really wouldn't, cause all the lurkers and newbies will still be affected by all the rampant, irrelevant, thread-crapping circle jerking.

See I call bull**** on that and I've seen it on other forums.
Banter is what makes a forum, without banter and ****-talking a forum is just a series of Q and A's with people you don't know.

You two pretty much use GH the same way I do. Do you ever find that you're late to the party on some things though? It's happened to me a few times which is why I was wondering how other people do it.

Am I on here often enough not to miss a lot.

One other thing I do, is after I have read my watched, I go to classifieds and new members and mark both of them as read as it's thread I don't want to see in my unread.

Hit spy. Read.

Sometimes hit read posts. Sometimes hit Making Stuff Together. 90% spy though. If I miss it? Oh well. Maybe I'll hit Unread but not often.

These days I only Spy, as well. And mainly on mobile. Sucks.

May dig into OT.

I'll have a ton more time coming up to get back into the forum again.

For a while I tried the reverse of this by subscribing to notifications on all the forums I wanted to follow. I disabled email notifications. Then I could just go to the Notifications tab and see all the forums with unread posts. The problem was, the notification went away as soon as I viewed the forum list page, even if I hadn't read anything yet. So that was kind of a bust. Your solution seems like it might work better.

Austere theme

I browse the forum almost exclusively using Spy+Watched. The first thing I do is empty my Watched queue and then I hog the Spy tab for interesting threads I can mark for watching.

I mainly use it for notifications. I hate that it tracks every external link, uploads images on their servers, and inserts it's own crappy smilies.

I got tired of Tapatalk for a while and was browsing GH on my PC exclusively. Then after about a week, Tapatalk sent an Android notification reminding me to use their app. Sorry, but for me that kind of junk is an instant uninstall. So I guess I'm done with Tapatalk.
