Request: option to hide 'Non-Shop Talk' updates from Forum Summary page

yeah, that feature would sure be nice.

It would be nice. I prefer to stay away from those posts because I really don’t want to see the political posts, I prefer to like people and if I knew their political thoughtlessness I would certainly have a hard time with some.

I agree. The reason I started coming around was woodworking.

It doesn’t bother me much, since I usually go directly to the forums anyway, but it would make sense to have that option.

-- You can collect dust or you can make dust. I choose to make it.

Doesn’t bother me at all. I just Click on Number2 or 3 or 4 on the bottom and Zip right through until I see something I’m interested in, IF I’m just browsing around.

I just checked now and there was 1 on the first page and 2 on the second page. (Summary Page)

What I don’t understand is if I click “Show all Forums” go through Page One then click on Number 2 it goes back to Page 2 of the Forum Summary Page (i.e.It Popped me out of “Show all Forums” page automatically)

Also as TedW said I usually hit “Show all Forums” as soon as I get on there and pick the one I want. That’s how I saw your Post.

By the way, some of the “Non-Shop Talk Forums” are Very Interesting and have Nothing to do with Politics Or Religion. Unfortunately it’s usually a Losing Battle to Post a GOOD Topic in there. For obvious reasons, or as follows …..

Personally, I think the use of that term is enough to turn anybody off, it’s also very Negative and you MUST Go There to find out what it’s about. Not many want to do that. I have yet to hear a Valid Reason as to why they feel they MUST HIDE The Topic.

I respect your right to enjoy the NST forum. I’m asking for a feature that would allow you to continue enjoying it, and me to continue enjoying the site, sans that content.

There were and are titles that I feel are inappropriate for a public woodworking community forum, and I am happy to see them masked, especially on the summary page. I beleive the reason they got masked in the first place was the inflammatory nature of several posts.

Just like there is a button on the ‘pulse’ page to hide off topic posts, I would like the same functionality on the forum page.

Thanks for your consideration,

Chris:

Thank you for your well worded and Respectul Reply. I guess I talk too much …LOL… I wasn’t Diisagreeing with your Request, it would probably be well accepeted by some of the Members.

I also don’t use the Pulse Page other than for Posts that I am “Watching”.

We have different ways of Navigating this Site, that’s about what it comes down to.

Respectfully: Rick
