Then I peruse the Lounge and GD.

That's pretty much it!

I've always browsed Latest Threads, sorted by 'Latest'. That way, I don't miss anything, even threads started in the more 'obscure' forums.

I don't always comment on those threads - but History of Feminism (as an example) provides so much great information. Just because I'm silent - doesn't mean I'm not there.

I start with W&H and work my way down - usually clicking on GD last, since it will have the most unread posts.

I'll check my Subscriptions tab after that.

By then, there are more unread posts in the Main forums list on the left, so I start over.

I never use the DU home page or Greatest, and only occasionally check the Latest page.
