Which thread do you open first?

When you first open our forum after you haven't been on the site for awhile and there are a lot of unread threads....

Which thread do you open first?
1. A thread you started? A thread you posted in.
2. A thread started by a member you have met in person?
3. A thread that is aligned with your likes, ie: stock, mild custom, wild custom, etc.
4. A thread about your own personal truck's year, 47-50, 51-52, 53-56?
5. A long running thread like Vintage Picture thread or Derelict, Abandoned Junkyard thread?
6. The oldest unread thread?
7. The newest unread thread?
8. Some other reason not listed?

I usually go directly to the oldest. I usually at least look at all of them as I never know when I will learn something new.

Last time I was gone for a week, there was 3 pages to catch up!

Subbed first, usually newest unread first. Then anything that catches my interest, newest first.

I go to the ones I'm subscribed to first. Then I just look through the first page looking for titles that interest me.
I rarely go past the first page....Shoot, now I want to look at the second and third page to see what is there.
On rare occasions, I go to a very high page and just see what is there.

I check in at least once a day... first I look at the unread and see what titles catch my eye...if there is somewhere I might offer some useful advice I'd stop by there.... then usually pull out back in the information cul-de-sac
