Is there a good trick to reading trip reports? About This Page:

[Stephanie P.]

I really like reading people's trip reports, but I don't seem to have enough time on Passporter to get to them as much as I want. Anybody have a method?

Thanks!

I generally wait until they're finished before I read them, as I like to read them from start to end. OK, so I don't get to comment on them as people post every installment, which is a great shame. I appreciate all the work people do on them, even if I don't always post to say that.

I, on the other hand, read each installment as it is posted (since I typically can log in each night). There are times that I can not do this - then I read them start to finish.

Somebody on here once had a tip about how to read a completed trip report without having to scroll through all the others' comments: Just open the post and go up to the top of the page where it says "Threaded" and click on that. That will let you click on just the posts that the trip report's author wrote instead of going through every post which can take up a lot of time.

I like to pick one or two TR's to read through as they're being posted. Any more than that and I get confused as to whose trip is whose. Sometimes I make comments, sometimes I don't. When the reports are completed and I'm done reading them, I pick a couple more.

Go to the bottom of the trip report thread hit print thread and read it when you have the time say waiting in a doctor's office, stuff like that. Recycle it by printing on the other side when you're finished.

I usually wait until they are completed to start reading, because I have dial up and it takes forever to load the boards anyway. Some I start reading right away.
I really appreciate everyone who writes one because it sure does help when you need a disney fix! Some of them I print out and put into my Book of Honor.

I am another who likes to read them when they are completed. I try now and then to read them as they are posted, but always get confused on where I left off and stuff. I sometimes print them out and read them before bed, at the beach, at work..etc.

Well since I don't work outside the home or have kids to take care of (DS is 21), I can pretty much read them any time I want. I read them as fast as they are posted and always reply so I can keep track of where I left off. I LOVE READING TRIP REPORTS!!

This is perfect! I also like the printing an entire trip report when it's done for a doctor's office appt., etc! It does get a little confusing trying to read different people's posts scattered here and there, so these 2 ideas will be great! Thanks! Any more suggestions are welcome!

This is my method too! I don't have a lot of time to read them from start to finish (I guess I could print them out) so I try to read and post as soon as another update comes out! I too trip reports! I know how much work is involved in writing them (especially if you're adding pictures) and I really appreciate the time everyone takes to post their experiences! Plus, I've learned many things from reading them as well
