Scratch

I go to each forum and read the blue posts. I don't have a good argument for that, I just do.

Well, that explains why no one has seen my post in the request forum

I go through all the forums. There is a show new posts?
EDIT: Oh yeah. There is.

Survey Question: How do you check the foums?
Do you go to each individual forum and read all the blue posts?
(By individual forum I mean Misc, Announcements, Suggestions Etc.)

Or do you just hit the 'Show new posts' button?
I do the new posts button since it's more conveniant and you can see everything at once. How about you?

Horrible mistake? 

Not the surveys themselves, just bringing in a fad. You know how crazy 2010ers are
Mods, methods, and some other things also

I'm glad that they're back - I like them. 
....................................
I read through the forums from top to bottom, usually checking the active threads and some below that. 

I think moderators answer differently from normal users.    Moderating the forums - ow! I shall never run for moderator! 
...
I check the forums from top to bottom - Announcements first, and Miscellaneous last!    Of course, some people probably visit Miscellaneous first... 

I use the first method:

(in order)
German, Collaboration, Requests, Project Ideas, Miscellaneous, Advanced Topics, (and sometimes) Suggestions, Show and Tell, Troubleshooting, All About Scratch, New Scratch Members, Announcements.

I've always checked the forums my way... I find that I don't miss any posts that way    Although I do check the recent reports every now and then - basically, that's the only thing that's changed since last Thursday.

You read every post made each day? 

Not every post, but a lot of them. I give them all a quick once over (newest posts method), then I check them more indepth. I have a few threads that I check first because they get targeted with spam, lots of people need help there, etc, then I check Announcements, Show and Tell, New Members and All About Scratch most of the way through. Then, I briefly look through the other forums, replying when I feel the need to say something.

After that, I check the reports over - to see if any new ones have come in. Then, I generally check over posts that interest me - as if I were any other user.

I read whatever's on the list if it interests me
They all show up in the new posts, or if they were posted 24 hours ago, recent posts

I use the show new posts.
