Does anyone else....

just look through a thread for the most thanked posts and read those instead of reading the thread in chronological order in an effort to save time?
I feel like I'm missing out on well argued and informative posts. This is all very unsettling.

Fago!

I do it too. But in such a way that no one notices.

Sharpshooter

Nope!
How do you know what the thread is really about if you do that?

bluto63

I do it for those useless list threads, otherwise I read all the posts

SoupyNorman

Jesus OP, I'd never do that. I read every thread from beginning to end...



By the way, did I ever tell you that I was a compulsive lying bastard.

uglyjohn

i didnt know there were "well argued and informative posts" in after hours.

Sharpshooter

Really?

You should do a search then.:)

Saibh

What are we searching for now

dylano_k

When there is a really looooooonnnnnnnnnnnnggggggg post i look at thanks, otherwise i dont bother 'cos it could be a waste of un-funny time, so i let the ppl of AH decide wether i should or not with Thanks:D

Wazdakka

I do find my self paying attention to thanked posts or posters that I recognise more than other ones,

But in my defence..

• They stand out more
• They are normally funny
• A list needs at least three things to look important

This is why boards needs a jumpguy. He damn well knew nobody would look at a post unless it was thanked, and God dammit he made a difference.

You can't link to a search, they expire after a few minutes.

Well OutlawPete, you spoiled it! I was hoping this entire thread would have no 'Thanks' in it.

The_Kew_Tour

I try to read most posts if I have the time.

I do notice some people get loads thanks even for the most basic comment. Just a taught

You play the guess what the thread is about game. It's actually surprisingly good fun and statistically as challenging as nintendo ds brain training.:)

Pushtrak

No, I don't. Too often, I see posts getting no thanks when they deserve it. Or, not as much thanks as they deserve at least.

Richiecats

No because that would be sad :cool:

Hank_Jones

What's this thread about?

I just skipped to the end as there didn't seem to be any worthy posts...

IvySlayer

Yup. I search for the most thanked post, save it and hopefully use it in a similar thread.

jumpguy

A thanked post would generally catch my eye, but usually I go into a thread and read the first and second page. If it was short I might read it all, if long I'd leave it at that and then read the last 2 before posting (provided it was a good thread).

Diabhal Beag

If its a big long political thread that ends up going 6 pages in 2 hours then I just read the thanked posts.

brummytom

Nope, I read all the posts.

Sometimes when I'm shattered I go on auto-pilot and automatically thank posts that have already got a tonne of thanks
