I haven't messed with mine at all, so I assume these are the defaults.

What I really want to change is the ability to get the "Topic Review" box back below the "Post a reply" box. It seems whenever I reply, I get the preview in my face... I scroll down using my mouse wheel and it scrolls down inside the preview box.. gaaaah.

Medium Yes With Icons Always.... And I totally said that in tune... Makes a very nice jingle.

Medium yes with icons always... medium yes with icons always...

I'm a Medium/No/With/Always gal

But from the topic, i thought you were gonna ask how i READ the forums. I only log in once per day, and thus can use the "View posts since last visit" option to display all the topics that are new to me. Then I go thru every PxC forum and use the "Mark all topics read" option to unflag them -- i've given up following that verbose game. Then I can refresh the list and head to the good stuff.

If i'm bored at work, I might use the "View posts from previous X hours" option, but without logging in. I'll scan the topics for any interesting active discussions, and join the chat room. It's times like these when I do appreciate that we can post as guests. If i had to log in to post from work, well, that would reset my "already read" flags, requiring me to actually read a day's worth of posts when I don't have the time.

Too much information?

I read with default settings but:

1) start at News and Rumours to see if anything new has happened in the last day
2) Go to any games I might be following to see if anything new has happened in the last day
3) go to any timewasters / puzzle trails etc I was following the previous day to see if any spoilers have been posted for the level I was stuck at
4) Continue on my merry way to the Meta forum.

then sometimes: 5) Return to timewasters forum and refresh last page of annoying puzzle trail until someone posts the answer I need

Default settings as well. As miss_seph has her path she follows so do I. It has changed a bit over the years however... Back when I first joined I was able to start at the top and read my way through all the catagories and topics. *sigh* I miss those days.

Now, I hit the Admin and Meta sections first, followed by the General section ARGs with Potential, then News and Rumors. Right now I'm not giving any game the full attention I as I did before hurricanes and helping with Orbital Colony. Hopefully I can change that soon.
