Do you ever use this or do you only go to your favourite boards to check them out?

I forget it's even there.
I look at the main page and click on boards that have the blue dot showing. I always click on the board section & not the most recent post column, so I can see everything that got posted in that board, not just one thread.

I know that some people love it, but I forget it exists for weeks sometimes.

I never look at 80 Posts. I look at the 2 general branches (grinding my teeth every time that they are not amalgamated) and the food branch.

I forget to look at it.
I am happy to have Free Trade Zone and Waterfront Park separated.

I forget to look at it. I am happy to have Free Trade Zone and Waterfront Park separated. I can't distinguish between them. I simply post on here.

I look at the 2 general branches (grinding my teeth every time that they are not amalgamated) and the food branch. That's probably why you've missed, maybe, several exciting and informative threads that are some of the best I've ever seen. I re-visit them constantly to wonder at the wealth of treasure on display, the sheer vastness of the OP's knowledge leaves me in awe. They are concerning a country that you have visited and immediately realised that it is the culinary capital of the world, nay, the universe.

Did you mean the Canadian threads, Mark? ;D I'm in the 'often but not always' camp. The only time I don't go to 80 posts is if I have very little time. There are busy days when there are an incredible number of good posts and I'm too impatient to click in and out of each Today in each board over the entire forum. 80 posts is an efficient way to select what I want to read and reply to at leisure. I think you can easily miss many (most?) great threads if you limit yourself to certain habitual boards. I usually start with what interests me on the Home Page, then I always go to 80 posts to see what I missed. It also gives you a good indication of the 'mood' of the day on the Port. When the Port was created, I was in favor of having Free Trade and Waterfront Park as one board. I still am. I don't grasp the difference and think it would declutter the Home Page.

Of course the Canadian threads. It wouldn't refer to any of mine, would it?

Anyway, some people are missing a lot. That's all I'll say for now.

Timesonline is going to £1 a day next month for consultation, isn't it?

£1 a day? No Way!
I'll read Al-Jezeera instead.
