I go directly to recent posts, because you get an overall feel of what is going on in chickenland, not just my area of interest. may only click on the forum Index once a day or so, to get to a specific subforum. Usually someone has posted from a subforum already in Recent Posts, and I select that forum from the blue column in the middle of the page. If it's not there, I go to Index. TMI, I know, but you asked on thing, you probably wondered the other.
