I usually don't. I instead prefer sucking up the bandwidth by constantly renewing the forums section, especially now since Volt's Sidebar doesn't work anymore. (-__-)\

No. I just check my favorite forums.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.

Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.

But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

I use the "View New Posts" link on the front page when I first get on to catch up, then use the "Latest Threads" or just wander after that.

I use it almost exclusively. Opening the threads in new windows minimizes the number of pages that need to load and prevents any from slipping past. Very convenient tool.

I use it after I check responses to my posts to see new stuff via my profile. SOmetimes I forget to check the dates on posts when I search categories, so going with Get New is a good way to accidentally avoid grave digging

Piloswine: I never use the "get new"

Chorus of sailors: what never?

Piloswine: No never!

Chorus of sailors: what never?

Piloswine: well... Hardly ever!

Chorous of Sailors: hardly ever uses the "get new"! So give three cheers and one cheer more for that guy who doesn't use "get new" no more! So give three cheers and one cheer more fooooor, he doesn't use "get new" no more!

Piloswine exits left while chorus of sailors dance off to the right.

Ummm... what exactly is/was Volt's sidebar? AAARGH! I stay in the Prayer Room far too much!

Anyway, I generally stick to my favorite forums, although I really need to start moving around and looking at other stuff more.

*EDIT: Okay, I found out. Will that sidebar be usable again when the CAA gets back up and running in its original domain?

AnimeHeritic, I almost laughed when I saw that.

I use the get new a LOT. In firefox, I click get new, and then open each "page" on the get new in a new tab, then I start at the last tab and work my way forward, opening stuff in new tabs as I see fit. That keeps me from losing EVERYTHING when a DB error occures (though I haven't seen any of those recently).

Yep, I use it. It's a lot less confusing when looking for any new posts.

I still use Ie6, so I have to juggle the back buttons around during a db error, but I've gotten pretty good at it, and keeping a txt file on the desktop to save my writing in case it crashes.

I generally just brose the forums - which is why I miss a lot of topics. After reading the esponses here, perhaps I will give it a try.

Very funny, Heretic, by the way.

I use the "get new" feature every time I log in here. I also have separate tabs for updated subscribed threads, private messages, and results on other searches.
Find me on Steam, PlayStation Network (OmegaAmen), Backloggery, Twitter, and Twitch.tv

I am also in the Christian gaming group, Tribe of Judah in the Christian Gamers Alliance.
