I tend to look at who's written it - if its a mod or a reg i find myself more likely to read it because i know that person well enough to know what sort of thread it might be. Sometimes a title might grab me as well, but more often than not its the author that interests me. So.... what makes you look at a thread??

If it's got one of those little blue icony things and it's at the top of the forum :!:

Usually the title would attract me, but I also check the author too.
I confess I seldom, if ever, enter such threads as the GFZ, mainly because they go on for so many pages and I've got a job to keep up with them :shock:
No set formula or pattern to what threads I read on the whole. Just read what takes my fancy at that time

Always the title, and since time is usually a premium, if it's not clear what it's about I generally don't go there. Also, if I see a thread is already three pages or more long and I wasn't in at the start I don't go there, too much reading, unless it's a REALLY interesting topic where I want to have a say like, "Why is Musketeer such a grumpy old fart?"

I am more likely to read a thread if the title grabs me, but I do always look at the originator and the last contributor too. If either of those is someone I recognise and someone whose posts I particularly enjoy, then I am much more likely to read it.

Ditto... and that is why forums like this are just like real life in as much as we relate to like minded people and form cliques ooops...
the only thread i avoid are the ones that are on page 4 or 5 by the time ive got to it. i'm too lazy to read all of it. and nowing my lukc i'd post a reply from something of the first page. and someone has already beaten me to the sarcastic remark.
normally i go for threads where i know the author is funny. EG: Well busty babe, Debbiewebs and Sgt Bilko. oh and of course my own threads just to see what person has been taking the piss out of me!

Open thread, quick nose, is it suitably idiotic, funny, amusing, silly or nuts? If yes read.
Is it a query about dissproportionate life balance, does it contain any mention of being fedup, unsatisfied or illness? Close thread.
One thing I never read: Poetry CornerWTF?
so basically you have never read any of my threads as they are either about flouncing, being fed up, always being unsatisfied :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :roll: :roll: :roll: so thats where I have been going wrong hahahahahahah
I always look at the author first and then the subject. If subject is how to give a bj etc then dont usually open as think I know how to have sex
:lol: I do like send up threads or the more serious ones and if I know a person in here who is sad and I have met them then I will always post to show I carexxxxxx Quote by Sgt Bilko
I read...................................................................... everything!!
Partly because I'm a mod and have to check there's nothing naughty going on and partly because I'm a nosy git and I would hate to miss something good!! :shock: :shock: :shock:

only like looking at the ones with Dawn mid in them because we like her tits
A thread title that's literately set out and punctuated (like this one) written by a name I recognise which also fills the same criteria. I'm such a snob. But as far as I'm concerned, the over-use of text speak is something I can do without. I don't want to spend three minutes of my life wading through a sea of abbreviations for an end result that might not interest me.

They are rather lovely, aren't they.
Now back on topic. I try to look at most threads but as others have said, if one is already pages long and I've not looked at it from the start I tend not to bother.

Dave you bugger, leave my tits out of this
Your avatar beat us to it babe ;) Hehe... Also never miss chance to view threads Dawn posted on, she has such lovely, umm...
Ok stop digging hole for myself ...Back on topic (like EdinBBW being distracted), it all depends on time. If I have time I will read most of the open threads. When I sneaking a brief look in like now I use the who wrote it first, title second approach. With a glance down the who last posted in it...
EDIT: Thinking about what I reading now I also tend to avoid longer running threads unless I got in early, I tend to veer towards comedy, but will always try to help a friend in need. Oh and I (sad anorak that I am) tend to stick nose in any question about something IT related / pleas for help, etc.
It depends how bored I am. I am fairly eclectic in the threads I read, but tend to ignore the standard hello and congratulations threads. I don't like textspeak, or long posts that aren't paragraphed ... too difficult to read. Bad spelling doesn't bother me but bad punctuation can make posts unreadable.
Maybe more important is which threads do you contribute too?
I do not post prolifically and tend to post in threads where I can offer an opinion or advice from my own experience, or make a light-hearted comment if I am quick enough to do it before someone else.

I must be a geek -I get all organised about it. I have two windows open, in one I start with the latest thread, then use view previous to go down through the list, reading the first couple of posts in each thread. It's not very often that I pay any attention to who is posting it, because with two windows tiled I can only see the text not the author. 
The other window I use to write the replys, view PM's and all the other stuff.

I look at most threads although will open one that is by a name I recognise first. After opening I will read the first post and then skim through a few to see if the thread is taking a route that allows my style of posting to take part, if it's a thread that I want to get into then I will read the posts more carefully to try and make sure that I do not replicate anyone else before posting.
The thread title has little significance for me as I will look at them all eventually. Welcomes, congratulations and the like come last on the viewing list.

I was going to mention that but I didn`t want to look like a git :mrgreen:

..........davej removes his 'git' coat and firmly lays it in the puddle for venus to step across.
It did enter my mind that some would view it as being a bit unsociable venus, but in all honesty even when my words are truely meant they still look hollow so I've kinda given up on most of those type of posts and ....what can I tell ya....they just aint my cuppa tea!

i look at the thread heading first , also look to see if its by someone i know . dont bother with the "how big , shaven and wet , swallow or spit " type threads unless its to add something humourous,, 
Sex God
Depends what mood I'm in but I too generally avoid the longer threads. Some threads I read because they have an intriguing subject title. Actually avoid the posts of some posters because they are usually in the same vein (re:size, girth, can't get a shag etc.).
And I know this will make me sound horrid and snobbish but I also (as far as possible) avoid posts started by people who refuse to use any form of punctuation and can't be arsed to check their spellings. This is purely because they are very difficult to read sometimes. I am currently considering posting on a thread about a particular person's lack of attention in these departments but I am managing to bite my tongue so far . Oh and by the way, I do appreciate that not everyone can spell (quite prepared to admit that I also make spelling mistakes sometimes) or whatever and dyslexics have my fullest sympathy. It's just the people who obviously can't ever be bothered that piss me off. Sorry.
