Any Way To Block Sub-Forum?

[AroEnglish]

I like to view the forums by “New Posts” and there are some sub-forums I’m not particularly interested (though I’m glad that guys have a place to discuss them here). Is there a way to make it so these sub-forums don’t appear in my “New Posts”?

My food posts aren't that annoying.

I do not believe that is possible.

I understand that to a degree, though for me, it's more a wish I could block just reaction notifications only for the WAYS thread. I don't want all react notifications blocked globally, just for my posts in that one thread, and I don't want quotes blocked from that thread.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do that, and it would probably take a lot to implement a feature where whenever you make a post, you can uncheck notifications for just that specific post.

Just ignore things you have no interest in. Really don't need that much self control to skip some posts.

Some day you will get to the status where you spend enough time in here, that all notifications get turned off.

That sounds ominous, like you become one with the forum.

I don't think I'll ever get to that point with any forum. The Harley forum I am on, I have been there nearly a decade, still don't live on it and that's my biggest hobby/part of my life.

I misread your post as "Food posts aren't that annoying", just realized. I think you're a 5 star and meant no offense.

You’re a mod bro. Isn’t that like the cops putting 911 on silent mode?

You've made "The list"

No worries. I sometimes delete out of context posts with gratuitous gross humor.

I had the same issue. What I did was, instead of blocking what I did not want to see, I "watched" the forums that I did want to see, I then choose "watched forums" from the forums drop down, and look at the new threads there, instead of just looking at all new posts.

Why would anyopne want to get notifications of when a new post is made. I can understand wanting to know if someone responds to a post that you made, or comments on a thread you started, but just all new posts... that's too much, IMO. I just peruse the "latest discussions" whenever I feel like being on the forum. I cannot think of a single thing that could be posted that I think would ruin my day if missed.

This is an excellent thought. Thanks! It doesn't quite solve it for me as I want to still see every new post in those watched forums and not just new threads in the watched forum.

I wonder if it's possible to achieve this if we separate the various sub-forums? Like if we had PM Main, FS/FT, and then Other (Food, General, Cigar) could some some of the categories be blocked or hidden? And if not, could there be a "Mark All Read" for the section?

 

[cosmicfolklore]

I'm really curious, because we must just use the forums way differently.
Which sections of this one forum do you want to follow that closely, and which ones bother you to see?
I mean, I just just peruse the most recent, and if I don't want to read one, I just don't.
I am just asking out of curiosity. What section would you want to be notified on?

edit: I honestly do not think of this as many forums, just one big one.

You can do it manually.
