How do you prefer to browse Help.com?
When you are looking to help, and you are already here to find a use for yourself, how do you go about finding posts to respond to? Do you camp the most recent posts? Do you use the Tags link to find an area of your expertise? Do you use the search feature? What do you do- I am curious.

Where were you?
You can also watch events on Help.com as they happen
Just select the post that appear on the front page. However you can put tags on and they will filter out some of them and give you more specific ones that you would like to see. They appear in your notices.
You can also use the search feature, it’s pretty much the same as the tags.

I just check my notices for posts I’ve already posted in, check for any updates. I hate the tag system with a passion, it just gives me way to many notices for posts I don’t care about.
i personally check the ones that i have already replied too… then i go through the list to see which ones i would be interested in and delete the other ones.. once i answer those ones.. i get to my invites..
I usually stalk the front page. And tags are stupid because some of them just give you random post just because the word is included. Oh yeah and aswell as the fact that people put random popular tags on so people get notices.

the posts that bother me are the ones where kids are asking how to get onto myspace from school… lol.. duh.. wait till you get home..
Tags. Fronpage only when I run out of notices - I run away as soon as I read the word myspace.

Reply notices and front page. I avoid most populars like the plague if I can help it.

i actually do go to some.. because after everyone telling them that they cant tell them the answer.. they get all pissy.. lol..
I live on my notices page, I have a tag for everythingso any post that has a tag I have will go straight to my notices, I find that way I am less bias as sometimes I think it easy to go straight to a post that was written by someone you know or friends with, on the notices page there are no name written next to the title so I reply to the ones I know something about.
