The sentences in the first pair mean the same thing, more or less.

In the second and third pairs, the first sentence means you regularly perform the activity but you may or may not be doing it at the moment you say it. The version using the present continuous means you are currently engaged in the named activity.

khauff85,

We recommend posting a question on one forum only initially. If you do not get a satisfactory answer from that forum and you feel that you have exhausted its possibilities, then of course trying a different forum might help. It is only courteous however, to tell the second forum that you have already asked the question on another forum and then give a precis of the answers you received there, or provide a link to it, along with an explanation of why you are now looking elsewhere.​
