I don't wait, but I don't hit the Back button. I press the link for the page it provides. -------------------- DEMON PLAY, DEMON OUT! Posts: 1582 | Registered: Wednesday, November 13 2002 08:00 |

Since Dikiyoba usually has two tabs open at once, Dikiyoba waits for the redirect on one tab while browsing another topic in the other tab. Eventually, Dikiyoba checks back to make sure no editing needs to be done. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

While my browsing style depends on time, location, and current bandwidth, I have been known to open every single thread in a separate tab. —Alorael, whose Safari windows are as messy as his desktop, which is as messy as the top of his desk.

I can never wait to let the thing finish by itself because I rarely have that much time when I post here.

If you let it redirect you, then it will also refresh the page, and it's possible the topics could be in a different order from when you first say them, causing unnecessary confusion. Although, I don't really have this problem, since I just open each topic in a new window, and close it out when I'm finished with it. -------------------- You lose.

I always wait for the redirect and usually end up editing (multiple times) shortly after. I only have another window or tab open to a topic if I'm trying to quote more then one person in the same post. The dictonary is usually open though. While I'm thinking about it, did anybody else have a problem with Firefox's last update? My computer will no longer allow Firefox to access the web. I've been without tabbing since. -------------------- "Even the worst Terror from Hell can be transformed to a testimony from Heaven!" - Rev.

I do what Diki does. On another subject, how many of you actually look through the threads manually, and how many of you use Today's Active Topics?

I use both. I look through the threads manually the first time I'm here and then the active topics feature later in the day. Dikiyoba. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

There is a "Today's Active Topics" feature? My god I have been living in dark ignorance. On a side note, going back in my browser is extremely easy because I have a button on my mouse for that. I realize that I probably wouldn't do that if I had to manually click on the back button every time. I have also noticed that most of you habitually proofread your posts after posting. I was actually a little surprised, but I guess that is because I proofread before I post. -------------------- Thuryl: I mean, most of us don't go around consuming our own bodily fluids, no matter how delicious they are. ==== Alorael: War and violence would end if we all had each other's babies! ==== Drakefyre: Those are hideous mangos.

I proofread before and after as well. You see, when I'm doing the pre-post proofread, I tend to add a few last minute things I always think of. Then, in the post-post proofread, I discover the mistakes I've usually made in those additions. I only ever edit my post if the mistake is so bad it changes the meaning of the post entirely. -------------------- You lose. Posts: 2156 | Registered: Thursday, August 24 2006 07:00 |
