I've just made a spreadsheet so I can track how long I spend on MyLot, how many discussions I start etc - so I can see what I did to earn the best amounts.

Yes, I know we all come here for the laughs yadda yadda but those little amounts become an addictive in-cent-ive after a while, like drinking green tea in a Japanese restaurant - the cups are tiny, but there's golden nectar in every one; and one hell of a high!

But what about your interests? Do you find, as I do, that going through page after page of headings that seem completely randomly placed (nothing's in alphabetical order) is as tiresome as tracking them down in the first place? Is there any way of tidying up my home page so it's easier to find what I'm looking for?

And opinions, please, on the whole 'select interest from the following 3000 pages of totally non-alphabetical headings' thing. Anyone who can point me in the direction of the George Michael interest group, btw, will receive constant responses from me, whatever the subject.

First let me say, I am picking my chin off the floor. A Spreadsheet to track your myLot activity? You can customize your home page on the right hand side about three inches down where it says add content. Each section is known as a sortie and in order to remove one you just move your cursor to the upper right corner and choose the X.

I've kind of worked out that clicking on the 'sort interests' they get put into individual groups - oh and yeah the spreadsheet thing lasted 1 1/2 days before it got abandoned. The idea was to see what actions were producing the best results but there was no rime or reason to it. Fun while it lasted though (you have to understand I've got this 'thing' about numbers. I once spent 6 weeks making plans of lottery number distributions, trying to work out the entropy 'code' so I could break it and win the jackpot. That didn't work either!)

But my real gripe is in selecting our interests in the first place. There just seem so many, and loads of repeats in different sections. With all that to choose from, it's no wonder people never have their discussions replied to - it's down to pure luck if someone else has chosen the same interest as you, and not selected the same title elsewhere! Some interests only have a few people in them, and hardly any recent activity at all. This place is itching for a big organised clear-out!

Oh, but I did find George Michael though. He's not very popular at the moment. Last regular activity was 3 years ago!

you know thats a very good question about the interests. i have the same problem. i look and look through all the interests, get tired of it then just click on the mylot interestlol so after i start the discussion, then i tag it what i wanted. i respond to each person that responded to one of mine. thats my little bit of organisationrolleyes

Same here - that and the daily digest. I'd love to know what the total number of interests is here! Sometimes I strike lucky, I type in a word and it just so happens that group already exists, but I NEVER go past the first 10 pages.
