Yes, if there are several threads I'm interested in. I like the way it opens a thread in a new window.
Got a tip for us?

Do you use the Forum Spy?

Maybe.
Yeah, sometimes. Not often though, If I'm really bored, then yeah, I might. But it seems like just another excuse to raise my post count, and I've been trying to cut back.

Same here. I think the relatively constant traffice that Spy generates probably triggers alarms and sirens at our infrastructure mothership.
MimeSweeper filtering, by any chance?
Rarely. Or to be accurate: Not in a while.
I used it a bit at first, but the delay, lack of "goto first unread post"-button, and the inability to identify which posts I had posted in already, made me go back to the time tested New Posts search, and a special version of that filtering out just the threads I've posted in.

I use it all the time, unless I'm after something specific.
I didn't use the forums that much until the Forum Spy was introduced

Same here, plus filters to remove the forums I am not interested in and buddy list to show posts of people I like
I actually do that too. It's probably the reason why I've been a member for over 3 years and don't have 50 posts. Oh well
i usually browse in forum spy, but it makes me totally miss out on new threads that haven't been updated, especially when i come back to the computer after a couple hours of inactivity. so every now and then, i'll check the "new posts."
Ditto. For some reason the Forum Spy reminds me of those train/airline boards that used to have flipping plates...too much for me
It's the only way to go. I wish Neowin would use that feature. There's is currently a crippled version on the main page.
this is really a broken record post, but I do use it regularly (at least when I'm not on holiday).
Same with me. I use it maybe once a month. And that's a big maybe.
Of course now that I posted this, I have an urge to use it.
