no less than 4 and sometimes up to 15 or more. Often I open a new firefox in another window on the 2nd monitor for even more tabs.


then it crashes.

Before jump to next game came into effect, I'd open a tab for every game I had a turn in, just scrolling down the list and left clicking bold names. Once I was done my turn I'd close it again, but I've had 20 tabs open doing this.

I almost always have 2-3 open but when I'm multi hunting that number can swell to 6 at once pretty easily. And on the occasions when I'm hunting and playing a real time game I think I've had 8 different tabs open at once.

Then I forget what each tab is for, especially when the sets start to get high in the game...I frantically check the game on multiple tabs until I have like 5 showing the same screen :oops:

Can anyone top 8 at once (without adding tabs just to beat me...I'm talking ones that you are actually using).

When I'm researching: heaps
When I go to the forums and open every thread that interests me : even more

I use a lot of tabs. In fact I always have at least 2-3

I hate having more than 5 tabs in one window, so I usually have 3-5 windows, up to 4-5 tabs each.
For CC:
I always have one window with games and one with forums. When I'm searching something intensively - I have one or two windows more.

This describes me nearly to a T

Pretty much the only times I have more than 1 open is if I'm editing one of my owns posts in the Foundry and need to look at a map. When you make the initial post - you can just scroll through previous posts in that thread. Alas, when you edit you can no longer see previous posts *sigh*.

Occasionally, for a real quickie, if I get a PM with multiple game #s to join - I'll open Game Finder in a new window and toggle between the two until I've copied and pasted in all game numbers.

2 for runescape, 1 for cc, my msn.

And the msn chat pages.


But on cc only, 1 at all times. 2 sometimes.

i usually keep 1 forum tab, 1 on the my games screen, and its not uncommon for me to have between 5-20 games open at once that i may be watching or playing in.

when I play tribal wars and am under attack I make all or most of my villages the same name. I open a tab for every village up to 25 at a time and just work on the like that to avoid confuson. It's a lot quicker/easier than reading the coordinates...

on average I keep 2-4 tabs open.

i would make all my villas named "Incoming Support" so even if i attacked them it looks like support at a glance lol. i had one guy even pm me about how the support suddenly hurt him :D. and several people tried to attack me and it would work but they thought it kept changing to support and kept canceling them
