Anything that's not "New Posts" and "Ignore iGary"... :p

Mostly I click on the "New Posts" link, flip through the pages, read some posts, reply to some posts, report a few weirdos if need be, rinse repeat.

If I've been gone for a while I'll often just hit the quick links to mark the whole forums read to be put outta my misery.

We're only joking!Who the heck are you guys talking to??

Anyway, things I don't use:

Calendar (although I tried it once, it seems a little limited in real-world applicability)
Buddy Lists
Ignore Lists
Bullet or Number formatting in replies
Align Text in replies
The "cool" smilie, because I'm not
Thread ratings
Post titles

Surprisingly, no one has mentioned "FAQ" or "Search" and we all know there are people that don't use those. ;)

Huh. I never even noticed the "Search" feature. Pretty spiffy.

Prolly explains all those PM's.;) :p

I've never used the 'ignore' function. There have been a couple of individuals who have tempted me to use it, but then I'd be worried that I was missing something. :p

I never use the positive/negative ratings. And I haven't used the PHP tag.

Yeah, pretty much what everyone else said, but I do use some of the quick links. The only other thing I can think of is the Forum Jump feature. The list is just to large for it to be useful imo.

I'm actively trying to use some of the less-frequented features here but so many of them are utterly useless. I've only just started reading other people's posts. It's made this place more coherent. :)

Ah, good, so now maybe you'll see this.

As a contributor, you'd be able to delete your own posts. I just thought you'd like to know that, as it's a feature with which you're unfamiliar. Once you pay, though, we'd all appreciate it if you'd use it a bit. ;)

I have to admit that I only recently started going through the site link to buy off of Amazon, but now I do it every time.

I almost never use that "Mac Rumors" tab and visit the main page maybe three times a year. I dwell in here... all the stories make it here anyway.

Does the site get money every time somebody buys something from a store using the MR link?

AFAIK, yes, and it doesn't cost you any more.

Oh and this may be a little off topic, but does anyone know if you can run Vista on the new Intel Macs?
I'm kidding, of course.
