Forum tips?

Hi, it's Mary again!
I'm still muddling around the forum and I'm wondering of any of you have any tips?

How do you all use the forum? Is there any button that gets you to all the new threads? How do you go through the threads? Are there certain 'dead' folders that if you post something in, people might not notice it?
Thanks so much for your help, once I get up to speed, you better watch out - I'll be a posting machine
Thanks,

Hey Mary! Here is what I do...but BEWARE, it becomes addicting!

When I first log on I click on the "quick links" button and then from the menu I select "new posts". Every new post since you last logged on will be there. Most of us do this, so we see every post. Unless you really want to, it isn't that neccessary to post in more than one forum. Does that even make sense to you? Try it out and let me know!
Amy

Amy, you are correct with ROFL. I know it's hard to figure out the acronyms, isn't it?

But check the acronyms button when you are confused.

For the longest time, I was on a different forum and everyone kept talking about "bding" and I had no clue as to what it meant.

It meant SEX. Bding or bd is "babydance." Duh on my part.
