Okay. What are your criteria for clicking on threads? Even 100+ posts?
Usually, I stick to LBN, GD, and the Lounge. And, I prefer "fresh threads"...i.e., no more than 30 posts. But, sometimes I get the urge to click on a thread with a large number of posts. I just want to see what all of the excitement is about!

Sometimes, I see threads with 200-400+ posts...and, I figure it is too much time and trouble for me to download. But, I'd love a condensed version. Why can't we get a synopsis of that thread? :-)

Am I the only one who feels this way?

:shrug:

1. I usually stick to the Latest Threads page

Occassionally, I'll venture into GD, the Lounge, or Editorials. The only requirement is that the thread interests me. Although I only skim, and rarely post to, the huge ones (30+). I agree that it's too much time and trouble.

edit: the Replies to My Posts feature has been a godsend for those longer threads. Thanks mods! :).

3. There is a synopsis of every thread on this forum
all you have to do is scan through the reply titles under the original poster, you can see the direction of the thread and various opinions, its so simple.
