Which day of the week is the busiest on the SDMB - i.e. I) - Most threads viewed. II) - Most posts made. Maybe this is in the wrong forum. If so, I apologise. I’d like to know. Thanks ---

Gosh, tarantula, the forum you were ‘directed’ to is the one where I’m reading this! I don’t know what’s going on here, but yours was such a good question, I wish someone would answer it! 😕 ---

Psst, **MizQuirk** – **xash** moved the thread to the correct forum. As for the OP, I’m gonna guess Monday for both. ---

Lately, seems like EVERY day is the busiest day. Busiest time? Mid afternoons to early evening, EDT. It’s like the shift changes; day shift clocks out; second shift clocks in. For a time, everybody’s on the board. Or trying to be, anyway. your humble TubaDiva Adminstrator ---

I think it’s Monday. I don’t think I’ve ever even been able to log on on a Monday. ---

In no particular order: the days with the most log-jams tend to be Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Monday, and the weekends. ---
