In summary, the person has looked through most of the different forums but has never been in a majority of them. They like to browse the different boards but have not gone into all of them. They have been following the development of a particular electric knife in the engineering forums.

I was looking at all the different forums we've got here and I'll bet I've never been in about half of them. Might have to do a little bit of surfing in PF. Have you checked them all out?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

I often find myself in way over my head if I set foot outside of Biology or Earth sciences, so I tend to stay in there most of the time.

I'd love to have a read through some of the stuff on here, but the chances of me understanding or having the time to view it are minimal. So much information, so little time...

I've looked through Biology and Social Sciences (IQ threads) from time to time, and occassionally browse General Physics and Philosophy.

I stick with GD but occasionally browse the non- sciency ones

I usually just look at the new posts and go for the interesting ones. Sometimes though there are none and then I have to go browsing.

I haven't been in them all. I check the homework ones mainly, then the general discussion and sometimes the classical physics, general astronomy/cosmology and software forums. Never going to look at the politics subforum, cos that stuff is just boring IMO.

General, Biology, Social Sciences, Homework K-12, Academic and Career Guidance, General Philosophy, Value Theory, and Politics and World Affairs.

Those are the boards I usually browse, I occasionally wander off into the other ones.

I've browsed all the major categories, but haven't gotten into all the subforums yet. Once in a while something catches my eye when I'm reading the index that lures me into a forum I don't usually explore. Sadly, though, what attracts me into a lot of those other forums are the complaints from the crackpots in feedback about locked posts; I'm too curious to not go look, and it's always worth it in sheer entertainment value!

I rarely visit Astronomy, Philosophy or Technology.

After reading this post today, I decided to peruse some of the forums I never visit and try to read one post. I found an interesting one about microwaving, well, anything you can get your hands on, by Math Is Hard and Gokul in the Atoms, Molecules & Solids Forum. :smile: But, then I just stopped. I couldn't talk myself into reading things like Number Theory. I've been following the development of the electric butter knife in the engineering forums too. Who knew buttering toast was so complicated! :biggrin: I'm awaiting pictures from the science fair. There have been a few other engineering threads that have caught my attention in the past, like trying to pump water uphill without a pump, or something like that. I have nothing to contribute to those threads, I just like reading along (I'm sure my answer of, get a couple of buckets, some good friends and plenty of beer, wouldn't have been terribly appreciated).
 

FAQ: Explored All Our Forum Topics?

What is the purpose of "Have You Checked All Our Forums?"

The purpose of "Have You Checked All Our Forums?" is to ensure that you have thoroughly searched and read all of the available forums on a topic before asking a question or seeking information. This helps to avoid asking repetitive questions and allows you to access a wider range of information and perspectives from different forums.

How do I know if I have checked all the forums?

You can check all the forums by using the search function or browsing through the list of forums on a specific platform. Make sure to read through the titles and descriptions of each forum to determine if it is relevant to your question or topic.

Why is it important to check all forums before asking a question?

Checking all forums before asking a question helps to avoid redundant or duplicate questions being asked, which can clog up the forums and make it difficult for others to find relevant information. It also allows you to access a wider range of perspectives and potentially find answers to your question more quickly.

What if I can't find the answer to my question in any of the forums?

If you have checked all the forums and still can't find the answer to your question, you can consider posting your question in the most relevant forum or reaching out to other members for help. Make sure to clearly state your question and provide any relevant information or context to increase the chances of receiving a helpful response.

Can I ask a question in multiple forums?

It is generally not recommended to ask the same question in multiple forums. This can lead to confusion and duplicate responses. Instead, choose the most relevant forum for your question and stick to that one. However, if your question is relevant to multiple forums, you can consider cross-posting with a link to the original post to avoid duplicate responses.
