Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

Open T-BHP page and go to the news section first to catch up with all the news, then head to the hot threads and see if any thing is of interest.
Next is the Forums section with Hot Topics and Indian Car scene to read through. Once a month head over to the Super-cars section and Classified to see whats brewing there.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

I read t-bhp almost exclusively on my phone browser. So there will always be 4-5 tabs of t-bhp open in it. This probably also means that I'm never logged out. Usually, the only time I open it on my PC is if I have to show something to someone else in office.

My daily routine is to first tap on User CP. If there are any private messages or warnings (), they will pop up. I follow the trail to read them and respond if needed. Else, I read whatever is interesting in my subscribed threads. First preference is posts in the Ford Aspire or Ford Figo threads. Then it's New member introductions.

Next I tap on New Posts, read any thread that catches my attention. Then New Posts. Then the DIY section.

This cycle repeats at least 6 times a day. In the afternoons I have to wait a few seconds to move from New Posts to New Topics due to the 10 sec restriction. Weekends are usually dull here with very few posts.

I rarely go to the home page, but do it often if one of my threads is featured on it. I remember just one day that I haven't checked in on tbhp since I became a member.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

I tend to skip the news section totally. Always reach for the forum page only.

I tend to access mostly in my laptop and not the mobile.

My most common sequence is.
The Indian Car Scene
Super-Cars & Imports in India (only if there are unread posts)
Motorbikes
Superbikes and Imports
The International Automotive Scene
Int'l Motorsport (Only if there are unread posts)
Shifting gears
Gadgets, Computers & Software

When these are done i attack street experiences and reviews. This cycle repeats at least once an hour.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

Very easy to answer since this is a routine which I almost never change.

1. Shifting gears - go through all the latest threads.
2. Street experiences
3. Travologues
4. Indian car scene / reviews
5. Any other thread which catches my eye.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

Nice topic.

I mostly start with the user cp, check the subscribed threads, then new posts/new threads. Sometimes, go directly to the 4x4 and street experiences section.

In the following sequences almost as a ritual;

Home Page
Hot threads

Nothing like BHPian comments .

I can use Google Analytics, but it's like the sales thread. I find BHPian comments there more interesting than the actual sales sheet.

Let's not go anymore off-topic now.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

The very first natural pattern that i follow is : -

1. User CP
2. New Posts

And i dont plan this at all. The first instance i open the chrome browser my click goes on team bhp icon, as soon as the page opens i click User CP automatically and then new posts.

If i try anything else it feels out of the place

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

1. Land on the forum page via the bookmarks
2. Click on New Posts
3. Go through the threads that pique my interest

I almost never visit the homepage.

We might have the data but we would also like to understand the logic behind the data

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

My pattern has always starts with

1. New Posts. Select and go through the interested (personal interest based)
2. Check all subscribed threads for updates
3. Go to my threads and post updates if any.

Repeat the cycle again.

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

The cycle for me goes-

User CP (Comment on a topic if I have something interesting to add)
New topics
Homepage for Hot threads of interest

Curious if this is an analytical study for an upcoming feature update for the site?

Re: Your surfing pattern on Team-BHP?

My usual reading pattern or order if you can call it is:
1. Navigate to /forum page
2. Navigate to Travelogues/Route and travel queries sub-forum. Love routes and maps so this my favourite sub-forum
3. Navigate to New Posts and choose what I like to read from the results there - usually it is any new or happening thread that catches my attention, Travelogues (another favourite sub-forum), Official New car reviews and initial ownership experiences to name a few
4. Very rarely go to the home page. If I do, then I look up some of the top/hot threads.
