How often do you read most (or all) of the posts in a thread......or
just click on the "Bottom of page" link ?

I READ THE POSTS WHERE THE SUBJECT LINE INTERESTS ME. I WILL SOMETIMES CHECK A THREAD IF THE SUBJECT DOESN'T INTEREST ME BUT THERE ARE A LARGE AMOUNT OF POSTS. IN A LOT OF CASES I'VE FOUND THOSE THREADS NOT SO FUN TO READ BECAUSE THOSE ARE CONTROVERSIAL THREADS WHERE PEOPLE SEEM TO GO OFF ON EACH OTHER.

How often do you scroll down the page to read prior threads ?

I SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE A LOT TO SEE IF A SUBJECT THAT MIGHT INTEREST ME HAS SLIPPED DOWN.

How often do you go back and scan past pages ?

EVERY SO OFTEN I'LL TRY TO FIND SOMETHING FROM THE PAST BUT NOT TOO OFTEN BECAUSE THE SEARCH FUNCTION IS RATHER POOR.

How often do you use the "Search" feature ?

I USUALLY AVOID THIS FEATURE BECAUSE IT REPEATS TOO MANY POSTS. IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE THE SEARCH FEATURE WOULD ALLOW THE USER TO ONLY SEARCH THROUGH THE SUBJECT LINES AS WELL AS ALL TEXT. HOPEFULLY, THIS WOULD ALLOW THE USER TO FIND THE SUBJECTS THEY ARE LOOKING FOR.
