How do people surf the boards? Open a 10000 browser windows? or keep clicking back?

I click back! :D I use one browser window, check new posts 3-4 times a day and respond when email notifications come flowing in.

Well, I open new windows, so I have like 100windows open at once. I dun like cookies for this very reason :) They can trigger of at anytime.

Ah. The email notifications, are a boon!!

Well I used to open a new window for every single message, now I just open one window for each forum I like to read then go to messages in that window.

I rotate 2-3 different browsers while checking back 8-10 times a day.

When online i check every 20 minutes .... First i check my emails and answer support questions .... Then go around the various forums .... So really by the time i finish on the last forum i'm back to answering emails ....

Depends where I am. If I'm at home (like now) I open a forum in a new window, then open new threads in a new window, then kill it once I'm finished with that thread.

Reasonably simple and effective. Though I must say I like eva2000.com's method far better :D

You mean you can open more than one browser window at one time?

Dang. I guess I didn't really need twelve PC's, then, did I...

Or a wingman..

Speaking of which, I'm rather partial to spicy chicken wings, mum's style :)

I prefer pork over chicken, but spicy chickens are good.....

Oh, yeah, I just click around.....
