Hi everyone,
I just wanted to know how you guys are keeping up with new stiff on the forum.
I just recently changed the forum settings, and now I try to look into all new topics, not only into those which are from the last two days. I use the web forum on my pc more often, but I started to check via FF on my phone as well.
I tried to minimise notifications via mail.
I notice that the mods, especially @Stefan, are quite fast to react.
So, how do you manage, technically - and how do you, socially? Does the forum take much of your attention?
I tend to follow every new topic and any new posts on existing topics. It’s the only way I find to know what’s going on.
I don’t think it takes up a great deal of time, but if I don’t get to check in over a period of a few days it means spending a few hours reading the next time I log in
I noticed that you are around a lot recently and find it great!
I check in, whenever I am going by tram, sometimes at university and now and then, when I need a break from working on the PC.
I am watching the Software, Repair, Blog and Roadmap categories. I am tracking the Help category, but do not read every post, only if there is spare time left.
Most of the time I use the forum through FF for Android. I never get any mail notifications. What is great is, that with the recent Discourse update, you can even modify topic titles on mobile. Moving posts still is hard…
I also try to read all posts because I want to share my knowledge with everyone and I strong believe in open source and fair projects!
However I don’t tend to answer all questions when I’m not sure I understood correctly the problem, to avoid forum search engine find misleading or wrong answers, which could let inexperienced users to do wrong things
Bye!
P.S. sorry for resuming this old thread but I just discovered my “power” of access the lounge section
I also try to read every Topic, especially at the Help and Software sections. As person with a more technical job I’m trying to make thinks better understandable for persons with other obsessions. I don’t know if it succeeds very often but I try my best ;).
I visit the forum most time from work, while I’m waiting for the PC or the feedback of a colleague or when I just need a little brake.
regards,
Shiny
PS: @DjDas don’t forget your power to lead my attention to this thread ;).
