How Much Of This Forum Do You Read?

I read every post soon after it is written.

I often times go back and re-read threads which interest me.

The Search button is very useful to go back and see if your question has been answered.

Other than metal detecting I read all the active topics since my last visit.

I do the same as Bryan1315 - click on the "active topics" link

I read every post in the forums that interest me, I am not into grading coins or e-bay or metal detecting etc. so I don't bother with those. I usually start by clicking on my name and looking at the threads that I have posted in before. Then I go to active topics.

I also use the active topics button. I'm not interested in the grading threads or the error threads, even though I have a modest collection of errors. My errors are all Australian, so there is not much there for me.

I'm not into metal detecting, but I do read those threads, because I'm fascinated with what can be found. I suppose it's because I spend a lot of time noodling (looking at coins from slot machines and circulated rolls). I love the thrill of finding something out of the ordinary. I gave up long ago of then showing them to other members of the family. They're always polite, but I get the feeling that they think I'm slightly fruity

I peruse all the other threads. Sometimes the most unhelpful of thread titles, e.g., "Help needed", can lead to great insights.

Just wondering. I never go back and read post from the past. I try to read all the current ones regardless of the subject. I just like coins I guess. I usually print out educational subjects and started to put them into a large 3 ring binder with separators by subject. I hope to someday have enough time to go back and reread them all. Who knows, maybe publish it as a book on coins.
