I don't know how many of you all explore the tool bars up above, but they can sure help navigate around.

Some of the things I use most are under the "QUICK LINKS" drop down... the "who's on-line" and "Todays Posts" lets me know whos visiting, and all the posts over the last 24 hours.

Of course the "New Posts" button gives you all the posts from all the forums since your last visit... I use this one a lot!

The Calendar feature is there for all of you to put on events or goings on you think other Sillinoisians may find interesting.

Host your Photos here under the "VB Image Host" tab. If you need space for more pics, send me a PM and I'll set you up w/ that.

And of course the "SEARCH" feature... this is especially good for NOOBS and lurkers to find specific info.

Feel free to add your SILO hints as well!

Like Bob I use the, "QUICK LINKS" drop down... the "who's on-line" and "Todays Posts" almost all the time. Real handy tools.

This one is the way to go, one click and you can find everything thats new after your last visit to SILO.

Thanks, never paid much attention to those.

x2 (maybe 3) I am a definite abuser of the new post button. Gives me just the new stuff I want to see, and I don't have to go rummaging through all the old posts that I have already read! That would be my number one used feature. I do it a little different tho, I look at how many new posts there are under my avatar at the left side of homepage. If there are more than 20 new posts, I click the New Posts right there next to the number. If there are less than 20, I just scroll down towards the bottom of homepage, and there they all are!

X4 for me, I love the new post button and the todays post button. I do wish there were more smilies to use though :).

I've been using them a lot. I've also found that sometimes I missed something when using the New Posts so I go back with Today's Posts every now and then to make sure I didn't miss anything interesting.
