My routine is always: check streams on right, check news on left, check dem liquibets. It's a little hard not to be checking the front page section at the same time though, but the left bar is where it's at for me.

I voted for the front page section, but while I use that for anything REALLY IMPORTANT THAT I SHOULD READ NOW!!!!, I also look at the left side bar for things that I might want to see (like strategy stuff and tourney stuff) that might be getting drowned in the drama of the eSports moment (aLive, IEM Kiev, upsets at Ro32, Pool Previews, etc) and/or because the front page hasn't gotten an update in a day or two because the admins/writers are just as hyped about watching the tournaments as we are.

Or someone has to skate. (Sorry, that blog will forever mar my mind.)

Front page, because I don't visit that part of the forum, and I don't look at the left side where I can't minimize those bars.

Front Page 1st, After that I look at the left side bar, and finally, there's a community news forum?

This seems like an odd poll to me. Front page generally, but I also sometimes just peruse through the left side-bar and happen over some new community news.

None of the above?

General Forum, by manually sorting through some of the terrible content to find gems. Since the community news/front page doesn't always catch it all unfortunately.

Front page / left sidebar.
I don't think I've ever clicked on the community news link http://www.teamliquid.net/news/community

ps: I visit TL very often so I don't risk missing anything really that's why I don't need to click on the Community news forum.

I use the sidebar mostly...I almost never visit the homepage itself truthfully except to check the Spotlights once in awhile.

Mainly look for streams and if nothing interesting is up I check the front section. I use left side very seldom though sometimes there are some interesting things there.

This is exactly what I do. and then in one of the new tabs I look at the left sidebar again and go from there. Also after a little bit I refresh one of them to see if anything changed

68.59 rounds to 69
28.74 rounds to 29
2.65 rounds to 3

add up what the extra is due to rounding and it's 1.02

Pretty simple stuff really, fairly sure this is why most polls have a 1% error margin.

I use the front page more often than the sidebar personally, and I rarely ever click on the Community News Forum itself.

I don't hang around on the forums much anymore. Skimming the front page section is the easiest way to keep up to speed on events and player drama.

Now that I think about it, shouldn't TL already know this if they keep track of click through rates?

Wow, I'm surprised so many people use the front page headlines. I always found it much more natural to use the left sidebar.
