How do I find what I missed?

When I log into ATS I usually look for all the new posts.
Sometimes I look at "all posts by this user" and find alot of interesting threads that I was unaware of.

How do you find all the threads in the forums you are interested in if they aren't currently active in "New Posts" ?

Thanks in advance.........

Well, I may of misunderstood but I'll try anyways.

This is a list of all ATS Forums. If you click on the forum of interest, it will display the most recent threads for that specific forum. Sometimes a thread may skip through the New Posts page quickly, so checking through these from time to time is always a good idea.

You can find the same for BTS & PTS in the links.

An example of this is this:

politics.abovetopsecret.com...

This is a link to all of the most recent Canadian Politics threads.

Another good idea to try is by clicking on the members name. It will link you to 250 threads authored by that member.

But I believe you can set up My Favorite Forums you are interested in in MyATS, on the left:

www.abovetopsecret.com...

You can "edit" them, add/remove the ones you're interested in.

Or you can just click on the forum you like to read.

Chances are they will be on the first page

Configuring your MyATS page is the easiest way to put the ATS universe at your fingertips.

Use the subscribe button to put posts you follow, but don't post to, in Your Subscribed Threads.

New Posts is best used as an adjunct to MyATS.

Thanks for the input, I had actually lost this thread because I didn't put it in my favorites, that is why I was so long to respond.

I have played around with several of the ideas shared and found them all to be helpful.

Also Grady, I downloaded a spell checker you recommended to a new member and didn't get a spell checker, but did access a link to a dictionary search from a right click on the mouse. The dictionary will be fun.

I'm not sure why that is except that IESpell only works with IE.

If you use IE, here's the link.

msn-cnet.com.com...

It should open in Download.com.
