This poll is targeted towards those of us who have been using the forum for a while.

The purpose of the poll is to ascertain, based on user activity, how we use the forum on a day-to-day basis.

Creating a poll is a tricky task and almost impossible to get right. If therefore, you find your way of doing things isn't listed in the poll, please create a post and let us know. You may choose two options, if you really need to, but please consider your most usual approach.

Thanks in anticipation.

Thanks Avo. You rumbled me with the old copy and paste. I couldn't edit the poll options, so added the errant options, which is actually what I do. I should vote really.........
 
Why do you need to know this information and I second Lucie - who is US?
 
Home page, alerts, recent posts.

Sorry that makes 3 choices from me.
 
The only time I ever look at the Home page is when I want to start my own thread and need to find the right forum for it. Just alerts and recent posts for me.
 
I usually use the forum in a few ways.

1. Via website, where I go to New Posts, then anywhere else, which may include checking alerts and clicking through.
2. Via Tapatalk on phone and tablet, where I look at any alerts, and click through on those, then I go directly to the forum and look at "Unread" messages.

My time is split roughly 50-50 between these two approaches.
 
When I started I used to always start at "my brand", then do the AskQ, Discussions, Newly Diagnosed, and then move onto Low Carb diet.

When I started using the app, I got used to Timeline, and now always start there, which saves time and often means I find interesting threads that I would have missed otherwise.
 
Deal with alerts first and see if I need to respond to anything and then unanswered threads. Then I go on to the other forums and have a look around (time permitting).
 
I read Subscribed first, then go to Type 1.5, Type 1, and Diabetes Discussions. Sometimes I search for particular people who I like to read.
