OT - scroll threads or check alerts

[DaddyChoc]

which do you do first?

I check my alerts (upper right corner) first to see the responses I may get from something I (or others) posted in a thread.

I then scroll the thread (main page) to see if there's any new verbals (1st page, looking at the date)

then I decide which "titles" seem interesting for me to open/view... I have to be extremely bored to open threads with titles that don't seem interesting

I love when I get a PM (private message) which is very very very rare
