[Poll] How do you read Brewer's Friend?

[Donoroto]

Some say the forums here on Brewer's Friend are the best feature!
When you visit these forums, what is your typical way to view threads and posts?

(Yes, I know the plural of Forum is Fora, but who speaks that way?)

 

[Megary]

"New Posts" 90% of the time.

Or occasionally I'll "Search" for something in particular.

Don,
I suggest adding the Notification Bell icon; either a separate item or include it with the New Posts selection (because they are very similar in functionality). I start with the Notification Bell icon to see responses to threads I'm watching and then go to New Posts to see everything else.

I do that too, but I see that as an adjunct to New Posts. I can't edit the poll to add it.

I look at all new posts, except for the tech support area. I don't use the software here, so no point.

That’s my method too

New posts
And the "search" function

 

[GFHomebrew]

Yup new post that little red bell.
It's a little bit addictive I love it when there's been a bit of chatter.

 

[Zambi]

Glad I am not the only one

 

[Nosybear]

New posts pretty exclusively.

 

[Herm brews]

I start with new posts, then I’ll poke around in sub-fora. When I am interested in creating a new recipe, I’ll research styles and ingredients via the Browse feature. On occasion, I look at my brew logs. It seems I spend a lot of time on Brewer’s Friend

Me too

I must say that the search function here does not work very well for me. Maybe I'm just not doing it right. I can't remember the last time I searched for something mind you...

I agree

I gave up using it for sure

 

[GFHomebrew]

Yup it's weird.

 

[Donoroto]

Search in most any forum is weird. But I can say that sometimes it works fine and sometimes it doesn't find things.
