GOF as homepage

I don't have GOF set as the home page, but I am the only one who uses my computer. Google just comes up faster. I like a fast home page and I don't always go to GOF first when I want to go to the internet. How many of you out there have GOF set as your home page? I know someone does.

I use google since it comes up quick, a habit from when I had dial up. Though I do come here often it's not always the first place I come to. I can see some here setting this as their home page.

Oh, yeah, Google's my homepage, too.

Oh dear... it seems nobody uses it as a front page.

I doesnt really hurt the site's favor factor though ^_^ these forums have become a frequent stop for me ever since my first visit, which in itself is a record.

Maybe I should have it up as my homepage... but there are some occasional guests who request to use my computer, so currently I think its best to stick with Yahoo

While I am the only one to use the Mac computer in the house (and it's in my room to boot!

) I tend to go directly to msn.com to check my emails before coming here.

Nope! I keep Google as my homepage. It loads very quickly and having a search engine right there can be quite useful.

Like anyone else, Google is my homepage. So I voted no.

Hey, someone voted one on yes

I wonder who it could be ^^

Maybe one of the admin like Petrie.

I voted 'yes'.

I just voted "no". Gmail is my homepage since checking email is always what I do first. I don't know who is "yes".

I use Yahoo search and GOF as a home page with IE 7(tabs) and Gmail in Firefox.

lbt/cty_lover · **Reply #15 on:** November 28, 2007, 05:07:57 PM

I do, but that is only with Firefox, which I seldom use.

It looks like almost EVERYONE uses Google as their homepage. Well, I do too. I mean I go on here A LOT but I have google as my home page.

Google as my homepage. I would want to, but I'm not the only one that uses this computer. My brother does as well.

No. I use Opera and have no site set up as default (I don't think Opera has those). The browser just loads up a blank. On Internet Explorer, Yahoo is set up as the homepage.

I don't have the GOF as a starting page that will show up whenever I open my browser. Sometimes I just want to check out something and don't have the time to visit the GOF (as depending on the number of new posts that visit can become rather long). However, unfortunately the system to show unread messages is not perfect in the GOF and messages that were posted before your last visit may be shown as read in spite of the fact that you never actually opened them. Therefore I usually go to the GOF only when I know I will have the time to check out messages which might be overlooked on a later visit if they are no longer marked as new.
