I use the Active Forums section of the front page to identify the really hot topics. Those are the only ones I usually check out. I accidentally stumbled across this thread Nah, I use the active topics link. I also use the Active Users link, to see what other people are online, and what they are looking at.

http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=17635 but then millster would yell at me again tip - If you haven't been here for a while you use the search tool, do a search for * and leave the rest of the search as default (Topic Titles, Last Post Date, Descending) and it will return the most recently updated threads going back to the start of genvibe, good if you haven't been here for a while (say more than the 24 hours reported by the Active Topics tool) sort of like active topics for all the topics, not just those updated in the last 24 hours
