How come so many repeats?
How on the Dailey lineup of most looked at threads they repeat half of them from the day before and some only have one or two responses. Do they just pick them randomly?

Don't know. I don't use this feature. I go to the "archive" link at the bottom of the page. This shows the forums with all threads in reverse chronological order, so I just read the new ones each day.

I thought it sends back to the top each time someone makes a comment. Not sure if that is right or not>

They are the most active tops. I just use the "new" tab or "recent"

That is what I do. I didn't like it when they revised the look of the board. I always use the archive and that way I know what is recent and where I left off from the day before. Lots of readers must use it because there is always an ad on that page too.

If looks like a repeat, I just move on to the next post.

Those are rarely the newest threads and barely scratch the surface of all that's available here. they hit the list because they had the highest number of views at the time the list was generated. they get the most views because they hit the list. it's a vicious circle.
If you know you want to come to the board often, the emails are a waste of time.
They slow you down. Why wait for an email?
Why let a remote computer decide what you should read?
To start at the Home Page, go to http://www.quiltingboard.com.
Want to see the newest threads? Go to http://www.quiltingboard.com/sitemap/.
That’s the Archive, which lists threads in reverse order - newest first.
Want to see the threads with the newest comments added?
Go to http://www.quiltingboard.com and then click on What’s New.
You can add any or all of those links to your browser favorites/bookmarks, put a shortcut on your desktop, or (if you are a total QB junkie like me) you can make it your home page.
Try using the direct route.
You might find you like it better. :-)
