Full Version: "Ignore" topics
Collector Zone > TCC Features > Suggestion Box

I know we can "ignore" members that we don't want to hear from, but why not create an "ignore" button for threads or entire sections of the site.

For example, I don't collect basketball and have no interest in it, it would be beneficial, I think, to have an "ignore" button on that particular trading area. That way when you go in to "view new posts" the topics or sections you want to ignore would simply not show up.

Any thoughts???

Interesting idea, but I never use the "view new posts" button, so it wouldn't do me any good as I can just avoid those areas when I want by not going into that area laugh.gif ie politics wink.gif

The "view new posts" feature is about the only thing I do. I don't go specifically through various forums/subforums looking for new posts. I do the view new posts because I like to explore mail day, baseball trading, everything else among others. I'd just like some kind of filter that I can set to filter out threads from the area's I'm not interested in.

It's a matter of convenience, with a filter the "view new posts" page wouldn't be 10 or 12 pages long.

I tend to just wander the areas I'm interested in, and then wander anywhere else when I feel like wandering around I guess laugh.gif So I never use the "View New Posts" button at all myself.

I'm a view new posts MANIAC unless I'm just looking to see what's going on in a certain area.

What is this "view new posts feature" you speak of?

really not such a bad idea IF;

It's a simple thing to do and would not be a big job to have this feature inserted into the programing that is TCC. I can push a key or two and know nothing about programing so I wouldn't know. I see it as a convience vs. a neccesity and would see it being treated as such by those in the know who give their time and effort to the upkeep of the site.

On a side note I wouldn't use it anyways as I tend to use "View New Posts" like a newspaper--I flip through the pages, read the occasional non-sports posts, then have my nose stuck in the sports section. smile.gif

Up next to "New Messages" right under "My Controls". I had no idea it was there until Cody brought it up last year laugh.gif was like "oh I never even saw that there"

How you guys get around without use of the View New Posts button I know not. laugh.gif

I probably hit that button at least 100 times each day.

Nice Idea, view new posts is all I really use unless I remember a thread I want to see thats a couple days old. I would probablu ignore some topics if this happened

View New Posts is my life on TCC. That's how I found this post. wink.gif

I usually just go to the sections I'm interested in and then check to see if the little icon next to the topic title is red or not. The most recently updated threads are at the top and I usually just go down the list reading the ones I'm interested in.

I've only used the 'view new topics' or whatever this button you are talking about once or twice. It is more confusing then the standard set up. I am not interested in every single thread of every single forum here, so using "view new posts" only has too many posts that I will never look at that I don't want to look at.

I am fine with the new posts first format.

Maybe I'm just misunderstanding the "view new posts" concept.
