Just curious, how do you access the forum?

RoseandJoan

I always load the blog page to check for updates before visiting the forum, do you do the same? Is YLF saved to your favourites? Is it your homepage?

Just sheer nosiness

Thanks

YLF is stored on my favourites bar at the top of my page. It takes me straight to the home page I read the blog synopsis and decide whether I want to read the whole article or go straight to the forum xx

I type 'you' into the browser and it comes up YLF and I go there - it takes me to the home page. I'm too lazy to have sorted out exactly where I want to go and put it as a favourite, but I should...

I access the forums on my iphone to read only, but I post on my hubbys desktop when the girlies aren't running me ragged. Which is why my posting and replying is sporadic, but trust me, I'm checking in several times from my phone to read!

I have a permanent bookmark to YLF at the top of my browser. I usually go to the blog once a day and to the forum... more than once a day.

My Firefox settings save the tabs as they are at the time the browser is closed. When I launch the browser, YLF is always the second tab, loaded and ready to go.

Just like Thunalata, I type "you" into the browser and the forum is the first result. Which means I spend more time on here than on youtube. I think that's a good thing.

I type "y" into the browser and up pops the home page, the blog page and the forum page, so I take my pick depending on what I want to see (and how long it's been since I was last on). My browser knows me well . . .

Most of the time now I start first at the home page to check Angie's twitters from FW and see the latest activity overall before either going to the blog or forum.

I type the url in: http://www.youlookfab.com/welookfab. I can usually type it so fast it's not a big deal. If I open a new tab in Safari though, it will show as one of my favorite screens and I can just click on the screen. Pretty cool. I love Macs!

Another Mac user here - the forum is the very first image that shows up on my top sites page!

As soon as I hit the letter "y", it is the first thing that pops up.

I'm a Mac user too but prefer Firefox because of the add-ons I use (web developer and ad blocker). I use Safari at work though.

I check the blog obsessively in the a.m., as Angie teased me about at our most recent gathering. I just can't wait to see what she is dishing out each day

I read the blog via Google Reader during my lunch break, and check the forums in the evening by typing in "you" in Firefox - that brings up recent sites I've visited, which for me means YLF, with YouTube underneath that

I have the forum link in my favorites toolbar at the top of Firefox, for when I am home and online.
On my iPhone, both the forum and the blog are pages that I keep listed with Safari, although I am not logged in from there. I use that for reading on the run.
I get the blog sent as an RSS to my Google Reader.
If I have a few minutes during the work day, I might sneak on from a favorites on IE on my work computer.

I'm another Mac user and my brower is Google Chrome- the blog is always one of my 'recent' pages when I open the brower and I click over to the forum from there

Favorites bar on my laptop... also access with iPhone when wireless is available and I'm desperate (3G is just too dang slow).

I open the page manually and tend to read the blog first, then drop into the forum. With the arrival of the activity stream, however, this routine varies a little more now.
It comes a lot more naturally to type youlookfab.com than youtube.com. Exhibit A was that last sentence, where I made a typo on writing youtube.

I have an igoogle homepage with a YLF box on it- I can actually see the latest forum posts right on my homepage and a click takes me to the forum. I have email, and weather set up this way on my homepage, too.

I have the main page bookmarked in the list of blogs I read. Sometimes I read the the blog post first and sometimes I go to the forum first. I guess it depends on my mood or if I'm looking for something specific.

YLF is saved as a fave, but I type faster than I click, so I always type in "you" and hit enter.

Ah thank you, I actually find these little insights into the lives of YLFers quite interesting. You have all satisfied my curiosity.
