    I check my personal messages and if I have any new ones, I read them and reply to them when necessary.

    a. Look for Inbox alerts and read them if any
    b. Look for forum alerts and read them if any
    c. Read new posts if any

    Hopefully at least one of those has occurred when I log on. :P

    When I first login to my forum, the first thing I do is check the Moderator Panel for new registrations, reported posts, and posts awaiting approval. If there are none, I click the "New Posts" link, and browse through our newest posts, and reply to any and all of them I can. :)

    The first thing I do is check for PMs and replies on my threads. And then I proceed to checking new posts. :)

    Yep, because after you check all your threads that you reply to on an active forum like FP you probably gain another 20 posts by replying to those!

    1. Check PMs (If any)
    2. Check on the users that have been flagged by StopForumSpam and look out for any suspicious activity (if needed)
    3. Reply to posts or start new topics.

    1. Check for PMs (if I have any)
    2. View new posts and make sure I contribute if I can or moderate if necessary
    3. Look at new registrations and scan for multiple accounts sharing the same IP- delete if found.

    Veiw New posts, reply to all of them.
    Create new threads.
    Sometimes do some minor updates and change things around.
