    Hey Hubberville,

    Just curious- How do you surf the forums? Do you have multiple windows or tabs open at once? Or do you use feed to scope comments made?

    The main reason I ask is so to understand better about what's going on in the forums, as a whole.

    I'm working on a side project and could use some help.

    The project consists of a two main points. (1) Basis- there are 100,000+ members. (2) There are a handful, that are on constantly, some sporadically, some only for hours and some don't get on for days.

    I would like to get a gist of how many people are actually in the forums? Ones that post almost regularly, so as to assess the value of the forum.

    I would rather not say why I'm doing this project, but please note that it is rather important, so I can streamline my use of the forums.

    As you already know, I am all over the forums, and I'm always watching something or another. With almost 13000 posts in under 4 months, I would definitely say I'm an active user.

    For those who are new Welcome and to the Veterans' Hello. I spend all day working on hubs, creating new ideas and building more information on society. I appreciate all feedback.

    Thank you for your time.

      Hi Cags, I simply check out the feed and see what's happening in the forums and if it is interesting enough to comment on. If I am really struggling to fill my time I will check out the forums section directly and see if a subject matter jumps out and I want to comment on it.

      I use the forums quite a lot, I tend to comment then later just browse the 'posts by me' and look for any response or other interesting issues raised. I usually just use one window and flick around though. I'm less active right now because of a work overload mind, it'll be until early to mid February before I'm fully active.

      Edit: Off to bed, be back to check up tomorrow evening!

    I got most of my posts before the sandpit etc. Long old time ago I was trying to keep up with Misha...

    I just look at the first page of forums, click what I like. If im looking for a topic I might go into hubber hangout or something.

    an easy way is to just check out the number of posts next to the avatar. i'm continually opening and closing tabs and multitasking while at the forums. Some news .. some to just validate others comments by checking other sites.Tabbed browsings awesome!

    1. Cagsil profile image71
      Cagsilposted 14 years agoin reply to this

      Yes, this would be an easy way, providing I had an entire list of all the hubbers, but I don't. And, I'm not going to ask HubPages for it, because that's their business. So, I am left to find other ways of doing it. Hence, this thread, which DREW you out. Which was my point.

      Thank you very much for responding. smile

      I would be considered an occasional hubber, by the relatively low number of forum posts I’ve made.

      I tend to look at the forum posts from the new style homepage, I’ve not used the new feed feature to a great extent until now but I'm still getting used to the look and feel of it.

      I guess if you were looking to gauge people forum involvement, you could also look at your fans, sorry followers, hubtivity and look at their forum activity from there.

      Would the new hub feed be able to help you out? From a quick browse at the filters, and a fair bit of effort it could be customised to give a broad view of forum activity.

      I became a Cagsil follower after seeing your comments in the forums.

      Best of luck with your project.

    Do you post for love or money? I didn't think you would get paid for posting - do you post in the forums as well as comments on hubs?

    Personally, I check out the forums on a daily basis, but only comment occasionally if something relates. I'd rather be writing a hub or creating some art.

    Well, I tried using the Customizable Home Page so I could easily monitor the forums I'm interested in, but that didn't work because I have to do too much scrolling down.

    I alternate between clicking on the forums I like one by one(Need Help, Knowledge Exchange, Report a Problem, Hangout and Makeover), and scrolling down the "latest posts" - but that gets painful when the religious forums are humming.

    I only ever have one window open.  I'm usually on the forums while at work, so I have multiple work-related windows open at the same time.

    answer:   carefully

    1. Cagsil profile image71

      Carefully is really a method, for how you surf? What decisions you come to about joining a forum thread or how you view the threads?, such as feed or from the forum thread main page?

      I have a general love for humanity. Why do you ask?

      I find it interesting that you've made this statement and I've not one clue on makes you think that you're irritating me in any manner?

      Well, we could start with you, but it's easier with women. A lot of men are witless to begin with. lol

        sexism personified - in a very charming way, of course.  And whatever you're saying with that statement it does not sound flattering to anybody . . . detracting from original question here - 40 strokes at the whipping post (too harsh?  ok, 60, then)

    I wasn't guessing. I just had to ask one question, so I could eliminate the number of option, for which, could occupy the chair. And, since you were so nice to provide any answer to my question, then it leaves me with only one guess. That would be YOU are the one who occupies it most often. lol

    But, thank you. smile

    I haven't really had much time to check out the forums and I'm not quite sure how they work, so I tend to click on the main forums link and have a scan down the 'latest activity' list to see if anything catches my eye.

    I hadn't even clicked on the new 'Feed' link until reading this thread, but now I think I may do so more often, probably have a couple of tabs open and go back and forth...

    My main problem is that I tend to come on here last thing at night, or in the early hours - when I really should be getting to bed, as I just don't have time in the day, or even in the evening - despite being on my computer all day long!

    One last point - I see the same people commenting on the forums (fora?!) all the time and you all seem to belong to an elite group so, as a newbie, it can feel a bit daunting and slightly scary trying to join in.

    I feel like an intruder lol

        Thanks for the encouragement smile

        The time zone factor is a bit of an issue too, as I am in the UK, it's 1:40am here!

        I'm off to bed now, but will make the effort to join in more... tomorrow tongue

        Sweet dreams everyone!
