I don't think that I use any but I may notice if something disappears.

For example, member's list, I don't think I use but I do search for a thread using a member's name that I pick from the dropdown box. Mostly, I search on my own user name to find threads that I have recently commented on.

I don't use New Posts but I do use Today's posts.

I am not really sure if I have understood what you mean by each of the things. For example, newest post details. I sometimes view the board in order with newest post first, but am not sure if this is what you mean.

I think that you might get a more meaningful response if you could expand a bit on what you actually mean.

Not sure what you mean by 'newest post details' *confused*

I have never used the 'quick links' 'main site' or 'forum' buttons on that toolbar and I've never figured out the point of storing contacts.

hi, contacts list can be very helpful specially on the comps board
for regular magazine posters,
I save a list of contacts in my user cp for the reg ops who post/purchase/ certain comps then that way if by any chance I've missed a posting on the main comps board (as it moves so fast) I can go into contacts & see if they've posted any new/relevant details

Wouldn't it be quicker to take them away one at a time and see who squawks, lol...

(You'd also see how many different names we call things by!)

I also use the User CP button to look at threads I've posted on - did you not want to know that?

Forum Jump is just under the photo of the Forum team on the left hand side.
There is a dropdown menu that will take you to any board on the forum without having to go back to the main index.
