Top or Bottom?

By (user no longer on site) OP

When you read a thread, do you ...

a) Read the OP and then read the posts from top to bottom, or

b) Read the OP and then skip to the last two or three posts to see if it got juicy?

(then read a few more if it has)

OR

c) Are you versatile and proof read a variety of posts on the thread at random to see if you've missed owt?

There and to the left a bit

Depends on the nature of the thread - something frivolous then I'll read the OP and skip to the bottom to add my bit if I'm going to - something a bit more highbrow and I'll read the OP and all subsequent posts

So versi-toppy-bottom really

Depends on how big it is. Too big and I bottom because I don't want to feel my eyes glaze over. Perfect length and I'll give the whole thing a good attempt.

I look at the scroll bar, to see how long the thread is.

There's a TL;DR threshold, where I go "Nope, life's too short" and don't bother reading past the OP.

If there aren't many replies, I read all, from top to bottom and maybe respond.

Depending on the thread and the amount of replies already given? I normally read them all, unless it is too long of course, so just a few snippets.

A thread full of 'I'm In?' Fuck it I leave well alone

B mostly. Then get annoyed at myself when I have to keep scrolling to see who is quoting who and trying to remember what was said.

Depends on what the OP is about. Sometimes I don't bother reading any of it.

Sometimes I read from the bottom up. I like guessing who said what. Sometimes I read a post someone quoted and I agree with it, then realise it was me that said it. Muppet.

I can spot some of your posts without looking who posted

If a thread or a post involves thd word 'splendid' then that's generally Taff too

Before responding to a long thread, I use Ctrl+F to check I'm not repeating a prior comment.

Easier than interminable scrolling

I just scan for my own comments and say ‘haha, brilliant!’ to myself.

Read the OP then answer. Then maybe skim read what others have said.

Read the OP then respond usually. Sometimes the odd post catches my eye if it’s an interesting topic and I respond to them.

If there's only a few posts then I'll read them, if it's nearly full I'll read the op then post. I'll skim just to make sure I didn't miss any aggro though

Actually I look for who I fancy and then do an outrageously flirty post in response to them...

Oh you, as we all know you don’t fancy anyone from the forums.

I usually read the OP then scroll up from the bottom.

It's all about the length with a forum post. I'll read the op then comment if it is short, long ones I'll read a few then get bored, skip to the end and see how disagreeable everyone got then have to go bottom up to catch up.
