How do you PT?

**Lobodeb** · 01-08-2007, 11:59 AM

I have just now (after being here for 2 + years) started seeing/using some of the cool tools of this forum. For example, I didn't know you could subscribe to a thread without replying. And I just learned about the User CP to catch up on the latest replies to my thread subscriptions. I'm thinking about taking off the e-mail notifications now because of this. And my spam protection is so high on my e-mail, that I often don't get notifications.

What are some cool tricks/tools you use to PT?

Absolutely agree!

I have turned off the E-mail notifications, only because i would get so many, and i am on here tons during the day anyways, so there wasnt much point!! Yes i know, i have no life!

I normally have the Dog and Pet Forums closed on the Index page, as I rarely go there. You do that by clicking on the two little arrows under the sections. However, I do see the titles once I go to Today's Posts. I normally start there.

I like the feauture where you can click on Replies, or Views in each of the Forums to see the most "replied to" threads. That can be useful when you're looking for one of them - instead of doing a Search.

Not as effectively as I might! Thank you for the lesson!

I like to see all the posts in all the sections so i usually use the new Posts button alot, i find it alot easier than just stayiong in on sectione versus the other. Since i like to see everything!

I would have NEVER noticed this! I rarely go to Cat Generl so I minimized that. Makes a lot less to scroll over! Love it.

Me too! It gives me a chance to explain something in more detail that fits a certain situation verses being read by someone that they think might apply to their situation ( like the raw diet issue..or behaviors and training issues, or even prayers for personal problems someone may have.) I got so many pm's recently when I was ill, and it sure did make me feel better thats for sure.
And let me say this- all the site options in the world is one thing- its the people that make a site, and I am so happy here! .. ( imo)..
