Do you start to read your mlp notifications from the top or bottom?

Do you read your mlp forum notification from:

top to bottom

or

Bottom to top?

 

 

I always scroll down to the bottom of the list and read upward so, bottom to top for me

Usually the bottom, but I might skip around if some seem more interesting than others, or if I've been relied to personally.

Usually it's just status updates or new comments to a thread, it's often just two or three so not too big of a deal which order I go in (I go from top to bottom btw). Unless somepony decides to do 10 status updates in a row (I'll just click into their actual profile if that's the case).

A lot of times, I just use the feed to check new status updates (since there are a lot of them almost every time I log in). But if there are fewer of them, or when I go through the other new content (mostly replies to earlier statuses), I start with the oldest one. Since I usually have more than one page of notifications and often get more while going through them (new status updates, reactions, replies...), I prefer to start from the earliest – otherwise it's harder to keep track of them with the new notifications pushing the old ones down the list...

I like to start from the top, I'm usually most interested in the latest thing that's happened. 

[SharpWit 2,648]

I usually only have 2 at a time so it depends on which one grabs my attention more.

[Denim&Venöm 18,971]

Depends on how I'm on the forums at the time. 

On desktop it's bottom to top. On mobile, it's top to bottom since I have to scroll down to see everything.

I always read the number of notifications, which is around 50 to 100 a day. Then divide that number by 25, and add 1 for page number to start (bottom to top). Then for every read notification, I have to F5 so that new notifications don't fall from the next page onto the one I will leave. In the early days, I used to miss 2-4 important notifications because I didn't do the F5 before going to the next page, and that was no fun when it turned out some of those where directly aimed towards myself, and it took an extra day for me to find them and respond.

 

When I have 100+ notifications per day, every day, I consider myself having a steady and nice friendship with people here. Sadly, that is not the case. I am still missing friends. I am soooo lonely! (follow me, this is advertisement)

I always start at the bottom...oldest to newest. That way I don't miss anything. Sometimes when I'm in a hurry though I might skim over newest to oldest XD

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

I start in the middle and spiral out from there.

[TBD 17,254]

I just start from the top to the bottom. If it’s too much, I’d look for the bolded ones to if I was mentioned or quoted.

[Adorable Lovestar 243]

Bottom to top. You sure do love these poll threads. Not that I'm complaining.<3

[Treeglow Flicker 13,669]

I usually start from the bottom and work my way up.

[Dreambiscuit 9,691]

I read mine from newest to oldest, starting at the top and heading south. I usually skim over them pretty quick so it’s likely I miss a lot (sometimes after I’ve been away a while there can be hundreds of notifications). I try to keep up but I’m pretty much resigned to missing a solid percentage of them. I’m not very organized.  

[Cash In 22,313]

I usually start from the top, so I'm able to respond or react to my newest notifications as quick as possible. I just find it a lot easier.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I generally go from top to bottom because I'm just accustomed to reading that way.

[The Kaeya Simp 13,988]

I go to the bottom of page 6 and read my way through to the top of page 1

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

I usually don't get a whole lot of notifications, but when I have more than 2, I start from the top.

[Splashee 28,564]

I have changed my approach the last two months ago. I now read newest to oldest (top to bottom), compared to when I first started here. While I changed just because I was getting more lazier, I actually saw the potential of not skipping any important notifications this way.
But reading top to bottom, you never miss a notification that falls off a page when a new notification just appeared. It's as simple as that.

However, trying to figure out who replied first to your own status, reading top to bottom will not do that, but give you the final reply instead. So I usually ignore my own statuses until I have reached the bottom of the new notifications.

[Pentium100 2,122]

Top to bottom, but I get very few notifications and most of those are "somebody has reacted", which I do not always check.

[Bastian 13,319]

I start from the bottom to attend to as much statuses as I can.

[Splashee 28,564]

I have to read them extra fast nowadays. That's sad, but it helps reading top to bottom to not skip anyone's notification.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I read mine from top to bottom.

[Moony the Cat 3,702]

I always go from the Bottom to the top, i like to read the notifications in chronological order.

[Pentium100 2,122]

Just now, You said:

You can disable reaction notifs btw

Yeah, I know, but so far the amount of notifications is pretty low, so the reaction notifications are kinda cool, but if there were a lot of them, I would disable them.
