    I wish I'd looked past the the first page of this thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,698 ✭✭✭✭Princess Peach


    Yes.

    Its all about post #2 for me, well done Starbelgrade.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    No usually not.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,709 ✭✭✭upandcumming

    It's all about making the front page right?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,163 ✭✭✭smk89


    Only on really good threads, like the stingyness thread


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,212 ✭✭✭Mrmoe


    Yep, it is a lot easier on other forums as there is generally less threads and a higher quality as a result so that your time isn't wasted.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,963 ✭✭✭Podge2k7


    I think the OP is talking about the list of threads when you go into a forum (AH etc) and not actual threads?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,053 ✭✭✭PanchoVilla


    I looked at the last page of the threads to do a bit of necromancy, they're all locked. :(

    I am indeed.

    Yes, especially when the threads on page one are well below par ......

    Nope.

    Which is why I think an 'instant' notification of new threads would a cool feature to be able to select, when subscribing to forums, rather than just be limited to the current 'one a day' and 'once a week' options.

    only posting to see if this thread actually gets to get to page 2

  • Registered Users Posts: 4,612 ✭✭✭bullets


    And a bump to see if its me that causes everything in the first page to become the first page and generates the choice to pick page 1 or 2 :D

    [EDIT: Whoop Whoop surprisingly that did the trick]

    OP means do you go past page 1 in a forum, not in a thread..

    Usually no, but ironically I'm bumping this thread up from the 2nd page with this post. :p
    I'm looking for the California weed-vote thread.


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,210 ✭✭✭bonzodog2


    I was actually meaning the listing of thread titles, not posts in a thread.

    I gather most people don't even look past word 8 of thread titles.
    I've started looking a lot further down the list of threads since I installed Autopager.


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,294 ✭✭✭✭Mint Sauce


    I glad this thread wasn't on page 2, i might have missed it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 189 ✭✭Ryan451


    Rarely go to second page, no action there :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,806 ✭✭✭✭KeithM89_old


    Everybody knows all the good stuff happens on page 3 :D

    I get an instant notification option when I click follow this thread.

    I'm doing it right now. Busted!
