New posts tab.

This is probably asking a bit much so if not possible no problem.
But my query is, I mostly use the new posts tab at the top, but I find it ends up cluttered with posts I'm not interested in.
The only way to get rid of these posts appears to be to actually look at them, and then they dont appear under "new posts" until someone adds to it.
Is there anyway you can ignore certain threads or maybe a check box to tick in order to stop the unwanted posts showing up all the time.

 

If you go to the 'Forums' page and scroll down, on the right there's a list headed 'Latest Posts'. They are in time order, newest at the top, and you can choose the ones you want to see.
Admittedly you could miss one or two if you leave it too long before looking because they fall off the bottom of the column, but if not many comments are made the list doesn't change much.

 

Hi Pete. I use New Posts, read that what interests me then Mark Posts Read. Does that answer your question?

 

I mainly use The "watched threads" tab

 

Yeah, I tried that but I'd prefer to be able to just not have certain threads even showing up, its not a people thing, its a content thing.

 

I guess that would work but then you only, presumably, get threads you have marked as watched.
Do you get new ones?

 

OK thought it might not be possible but I do remember some years ago, probably using an older format, that you could stop seeing certain topics or sections.
You may have guessed which section I dont want to see.

 

I imagine it is more annoying if you are on a mobile and it fills the screen.

 

Yeah, I'll just carry on, I dont really ever use watched threads, I can miss stuff that way, its not that I want to miss stuff its about not getting lots of clutter that I'm never going to be interested in.

Its strange that I can actually "watch" the forum concerned but I cant "ignore" it .

 

I just use New Posts, read what interests me then Mark Posts as Read. Simple and straightforward.
