Simondo Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Is it possible to set a forum or a thread to be ignored so that they don't pop up in unread content? I've had a look around but nothing seems obvious Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZimbiIV Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I hope so. I would like be able to ignore or stop the Speakers Corner. It goes against the original intentions of this forum. It is supposed to be THE friendly forum not one encouraging open warfare. paul 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grendel Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 you can ignore members, but there doesnt seem to be an option to ignore a section of the forum 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Polly Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 It would be very good. I think that while a lot of members are digging in to the whole BA thing, there are a lot who come to the Forum for more light hearted discussion. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 you might be able to work around it in the latest posts settings by following all the other areas except speakers corner, and limiting your latest posts search to followed areas.

NorfolkNog Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I'm inclined to agree with Fred. There are a few topics I don't bother with but I read most even if I don't contribute. I think the Speakers Corner is a good idea. I don't have the depth of knowledge of the likes of JM and Co but I can read their opinions. I assume it was inspired by the original Speakers Corner - wonder if Old Frank and Gruntfuttuck will appear - mind you they probably have but under different guises. As I recall JM was the top contributer PS I do also agree with Paul - we should try to be friendly but still have healthy debate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 If you want to ignore certain parts of the forum then you need to select those which you still want to follow and mark them as "follow". Then create a new activity stream with the settings you prefer, which maybe unread content, or topics active in the last 48 hours or whatever then set following to "posted in areas I follow" Bookmark that activity thread and use it as your gateway page to the forum. When you arrive then you will only see posts from sections of the forum that interest you. Please make sure when you have created your stream save it as a new one and give it a logical name, like "Polly's Landing Page". 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grendel Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 in the meantime we are investigating whether we can achieve it as an extra option in the latest posts drop down. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffbroadslover Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 I would have thought it was very easy and not complicated to not click on anything that you don't want to read about. Jeff 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff You might have thought so, but time has shown this not to be the case. Rather, from past experience it is obviously easier to read the content about which one has no interest and then record that lack of interest with some kind of acerbic comment about everybody else's involvement in it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Frank is not a member but I do spot dear old Grunts and Mardler now and again. As for Tree Hugger, occasionally see him shuffling around the boat yard or propped up in the boozer but not online. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In their time they made a wonderful and constructive contribution to many and to their understanding and appreciation of the Broads and its political shenanigans. They are sadly missed.
