How often do you check Orchid Board ???

I'll admit that sometimes it is in search of misinformation to correct, but I am happy to say that that is getting to be less and less often (unlike some boards).

Ray, it is so good to have you here correcting us. I learn SO much from you.

Today around 10 times

There are days when I check 5 - 6 times per evening and days when I do not check at all. Depends when I have time or if I posted something and waiting for replays. The search intensifies if I need information.

3-5 times a day average - sometimes more. I don't want to miss a chance to learn everything new.

Since I got this app on my iPhone, I've been on about 5-7 times a day. Pretty much anytime I take a break, or lunch, at work. Then when I get home, I find that I keep checking using my phone, rather than turning on my computer. Just easier to use my phone.

I check at least once a day. I'll be honest and say that it's not because so much of the information is of interest. It's actually because there is too much traffic on this board and the New Posts function resets before I can scan through the posts I am interested in if I leave the gap between visits longer than 1 or 2 days. Today there was 5 pages of new posts since yesterday's visit! Great to see the forum thriving but I wish this forum had a 'last 70 posts' tab like Orchid Geeks... maybe it would need to be 'last 700 posts'.

I have the same problem. I wish there were options for 'Last 48 hours' or 'Last Week' so I could use them to catch up properly when I've been away.

You can do that on each area seperately but an option for something like that would be really good. I don't think last 70 would be enough to take you past the existing 24 hours one though... this board really IS active

"I'll admit that sometimes it is in search of misinformation to correct, but I am happy to say that that is getting to be less and less often (unlike some boards)."

So what % of orchid forum information would you consider "misinformation"? I especially would like you to compare this one with the others you mentioned unspecifically. I find it pretty difficult to make such a comparison, but I've often wondered about it.

I get on the OB at least once a day, sometimes multiple times in a day depending how active some of the threads I'm interested in are.
