I have GD bookmarked, so it's how I get into DU. Then I just go into whatever other forums or groups I'm interested in at the time.

I never could figure out why most everyone else navigated around by the Latest or Greatest portals. That's a good way to get blocked from a protected group since apparently there's no easy way to tell if the thread you're in is in a protected group if you get there through Latest or Greatest portals. It's also how you miss out on really good reads.

In their infinite wisdom, the Admins rigged up the site so that there are all kinds of ways to navigate and tailor what you see or don't see.
