I've noted comments from a number of people that seem to indicate different styles of reading and posting on the boards. I'd like to hear how each of you currently navigate as I believe some of you do it entirely different than I. The reason I ask this is because the board is largely setup with my method of navigation in mind which may be highly inefficient for the way some of you navigate. We'd like to fix that if possible since the easier a board is to use the more it will be used.

The way I navigate the boards revolves around the 'New Posts' link at the top of the navbar. These vBulletin boards actually track exactly what threads you have read and the last time you read them. The 'New post' search only will show posts that have been put in a thread since the last time you read the thread. In addition the black graphic of an arrow pointing down in a circle to the left of a thread title in the 'New Post' search will take you directly to the first post you havent read in the thread. So generally my process for reading the boards is to click the 'New Post' link at the top of the boards, then click the graphic next to a title and read the posts I havent seen yet. I then am at the bottom of the thread which makes the mini navigation bar just above the quick reply box visible. On that bar is a link to the 'New Post' search so I click that and repeat the process until I've read everything.

So now I've explained how I navigate, how do you navigate?
