What makes you reply to a thread? Do you look at the title or the poster before you decide to have a look?
Do you read the OP and reply or see what others have said first?
Do you go back to see if anyone has replied or just move on? If there is a reply are you conscious of taking over a thread with chat that excludes others?
Tell me all!

There and to the left a bit |
It varies - sometimes a thread title will catch my eye, sometimes I'll see that the OP or the last poster is someone I find interesting, sometimes I'll just dip in and out of threads looking for something of interest.
Likewise when it comes to re-visiting - if it's a subject I feel passionate about or can add to I'll return often and keep the debate going
I do use my "Recent Threads" thing often too |

I read the title see if it's something of interest or a game i like. Sometimes the op or the last posters name to see if it's someone I talk to or like their previous posts. i might look to see what they have said . Maybe scroll through see who else has posted . Sometime I just lurk and look through then leave for another thread. Sometimes comments are ignored so I don't go back sometime there replied to so I'll stay and chat more .... all depends on the post and the day I supose |

I never look to see who has posted it but do look at the title.
I'll reply if I think I have anything relevant to say. I am more likely to respond on a quieter thread though as sometimes it seems pointless if it is very busy with lots of little conversations going on between individuals.
I sometimes look back to see if I have a reply, if I remember to. Doesn't happen often though

If the title catches my eye, I’ll have a look; if I think the thread is interesting, I’ll comment.
I usually look through others comments and almost always check back at a later point. |

I tend to join in with the evening light hearted or funny ones that don't require much from me whilst I'm eating my tea and unwinding from the day
I love jim + Ash's evening check-in threads, Noras secret service thread and also the 'pm a Q' thread |

I look at the title and have a nose! If it tickles my fancy then I join in. Don’t really look at who is involved until they start responding to my comments. Or if I fancy the pants off of them I may get more involved xx |

The title has to catch my eye before I open. The OP rarely bothers me, but there are some instances where I will ignore threads from certain individuals as I just don’t have the energy for the nonsense
" Do you read the OP and reply or see what others have said first? "
Always read the OP before replying, whether I do that before or after reading the thread depends on my gut reaction to what is written in the OP
" Do you go back to see if anyone has replied or just move on? If there is a reply are you conscious of taking over a thread with chat that excludes others? "
That all depends on the type of thread

Tend not to bother.
The ones that are serious often descend into a bun fight, that has nothing to do whether an argument has merit but who can shout loudest and longest.
The less serious, we tend to get ignored. |

I open the thread regardless of the title to read what the OP has to say, I will reply if it interests me or I wish to contribute but generally I Just put my opinions, if I have a question or a personal answer I will reply privately to them.
I am a nightmare (unless it's a thread I started) for going back and checking for replies
If I do catch one and it gets playful I'll take it to DM to continue |

I wish I could be that disciplined. I also wish I had something to say that was worthwhile too  |

I'll read most threads and decide wether I have any input or not once I have read the original post. If it's a funny thread or the OP has left themselves open to jest, then I'll read the responses before I fire off a one liner of some variety in an attempt to seem witty and humorous. I don't forum in a particular way because of anyone else, but there are one or 2 over time that have put me off a thread. I likely have that same effect on them or others too lol I mean well though |

If something annoys me, interests me or I think I have something witty or informative to add. So very rarely contribute
Seriously if it's a new and interesting subject or I'm passionate about I'll often post. |

I dont always go back unless it's my own thread or something what stroke my interest or had a nice exchange with someone. Probably wont go back to this one because its just lots of people sharing something, not a thread to "connect". There are just too many to look at and inbox to attend and updates to view .
I use it as per daily mood. Engaging more or less, trying to make people welcome and acknowledged if they seem in need,rather than making it just about 'me, myself and mine' self absorbed posts. I like your posts Rubi, they give many people a chance to contribute. So thanks |

I read the thread and if it is a topic I have an opinion, or someone posts a stupid comment gets my goat, or if I have a thought on the topic or post I will add a comment.
Nothing to do with who starts it or posts before me , unless it's a would you do XYZ to the poster above. |

Thanks for all the replies.
It's interesting that not many have said it depends who the op is, most who have mentioned it is because they'd avoid certain people.

Sorry Meli, I didn't notice you asking!
I guess it depends, I tend to float around opening most threads, I join in if I have something to say and it's relevant or amusing to myself.
I wouldn't say I avoid certain posters but the types of thread where they end up a load of people talking and quoting and things I find hard to join in, I find it hard to assert myself and be noticed.

I usually reply in passing as I go about my day and therefore any posts with more than one question, I have to skip without exception because of time constraints.
I also reply with silly-bollocks. |

It depends on my mood. Sometimes I join in with the funny threads, other days I just lurk and say hello. I do spend time rolling my eyes at some threads and replies. X |

I look at the title and see if it interests me, if not I will pass it by. There are certain forumites threads I enjoy reading, mainly because they are funny. Mainly on for the games and enjoy interacting with my forum friends |

I like to participate. Games , comments. Anyone and everyone. Read the title , the op . Try and be funny but also there are serious questions or comments that require etiquette. I Hope iam not seen as taking over a thread. The forum is there for everyone.
Sometimes there are people that talk over you or ignore you. The game’s too, games that require you comment on the person above , people will jump over and comment on two above . Can be rude and comments ignorant .

I tend to look at threads if the title piques my interest. Who has posted or responded isn't of particular interest to me; I won't be drawn to a thread nor will I avoid one based on who has started it.
If I've got a point to make I'll make it, otherwise I'll read and move on. |

If the title either grabs me or simply amuses me, I’ll look in. Even if the post hasn’t made me want to write something, but one of the replies has, I’ll join in.
Mostly to pretty much zero attention, but it’s happening. By the end of lockdown, I reckon people will even read my input.  |
