    Re: What the first thing you do when you login to CG.

    I usually start with my private messages. If there are none, I go over to the forums I moderate and read the threads there. If I am finished with these I check the *other* forums, then Chit/Chat and then the rest (like VB, Java), if I have enough time for it.
    I am not offering technical guidiance via email or IM

    Re: What the first thing you do when you login to CG.

    I usually go to WinAPI forum first off, just to see if theres anything I'm trying to learn, or to see if theres a post I can actually help in

    Then I'll get around to the other forums.

    Hm, I never subscribed to a thread so far... I didn't feel the need for that. I can easily find any thread if I am really interested, so...

    Re: What the first thing you do when you login to CG.

    it depends...sometime I check PM first...sometimes I check WinAPI Forum first...sometimes I went to Chit-Chat Forum fisrt...it depends on what I want to check first...but I'd never see the subscribed thread as I didn't subscribe to any...

    my homepage is "about:blank" ....

    Re: What the first thing you do when you login to CG.

    depends on the need actually, if i saw a pm when i login then that would be the priority. if none then and am looking for something, i do a search or if am posting a question then i would go there directly, then if nothing, go to chit chat and just be annoying

    IF pop-up for PM shows up THEN read and reply
    ELSE go ahead and read new posts.. and reply to the threads whereever needed.

    Click refresh to see the latest and then go to Database forum.. then to occasionally - C# and VB... sometimes ASP.net, Managed C++, Feedback forum...

    Check if have time..to Chit Chat... reply when in good mood..else go back tp forum already visited..

    New - read... nothing new.. back to work...or the Kitchen

    Come back and do everything from start..as stated above.. except for typing the URL again...

    These days...started visiting PHP forum as well...picking up PERL these days...

    Aaah missed this one...user cp - check reputation comments...view the posts on which got those... laugh ..smile .. or cry.. or feel wierd..amazed.. (all kinds of emotions upon them )
