Re: Blocking a specific forum?
Nope!
I wish we could, I would block the news feed forum to start with.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
According to Robert there isn't a way to do it with this forum software.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
Is it so hard to just skip over it?
Yes, some do not care for it and some do.
I'll tell you what, I'll take a poll and let the members of the forum decide and I'll abide by it. Fair enough?

Demand stringent background and mental health checks on your politicians.
Re: Blocking a specific forum?
This is certainly strange behavior, what in the world is wrong with you people? Put hush on your ignore list or something.
Just skip the other forums and be done with it.
If I was sitting with a group of friends at dinner and someone kept coming up and insulting Hush it wouldn't take long for me to say something. Same situation here, bug off.
It is your right to bawl about news posts all you want and there is nothign I can do abou it...... but hasn't this insulting behavior gone far enough?

The forum software does not permit you to put a moderator on 'ignore'.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
Just go to the news forum and select mark forum read. Then go back to home screen and select view unread posts. No news story posts will be displayed. Having said that ,sometimes Hush has some interesting posts.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
i wish there was a way to get someone to learn what i like, then highlight only the threads i am interested in
Re: Blocking a specific forum?
I posted this in another thread, it works like an ignore if you don't mind a little typing and bookmarking your preferences.

I'm not seeing how to do that.

SilencerTalk was a place I could disccuss making registered silencers without being told I was a criminal. That is no longer true. http://www.silencertalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=132&t=99273

You have to bookmark the search argument above, then click on it when you want to view the new posts.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
why not just have the "news feed" a link to guns.com and ttag. all the stories from there get linked here.

The way to do it would be to alter the search.php source.bakerjw wrote:According to Robert there isn't a way to do it with this forum software.
First copy the case for "newposts" below and use it to create a new case called "nonewsposts" something like the modification below ... untested just a stab
Then all you have to do is search using a search_id=nonewsposts ... in theory ... I could install phpbb and test it but I'm lazy

I was a bit taken aback by the huge volume of news stories when I first came here, but I have found there is a lot of good discussion there.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
I started visiting here again lately and quickly remembered why SilencerTalk fell off of my daily rotation. I click "View Active Topics" and the silencer related posts are lost in a sea of spam.
Would it be so hard to ask the people who like cutting and pasting news stories to use an alternate login that isn't a moderator so that they can be added to ignore lists?

What about this suggestion Hush? Make the news logon HUSH-NEWS?
Re: Blocking a specific forum?
Hush is like our Drudge. He was offline for a few days around Christmas and there was very little activity in most of the forums. I can see how it is a pain if you look for new posts, but I usually start out on the moderation pages so I rarely see it,.

Re: Blocking a specific forum?
I think that the news feed is an excellent source of discussion on this site that also expands to other forums as well. Especially during these times. The low activity during the holidays is probably just that...holidays. The Hush blackout is what got me active on here. Sorry guys , but I'm not a moderator and can easily be ignored.bakerjw wrote:Hush is like our Drudge.

I agree, it can be and I sometimes venture into the News forum for discussion about News. That doesn't make it any less annoying at other times when it is a flood of spam getting in the way of silencer talk.snapshot wrote:I think that the news feed is an excellent source of discussion on this site that also expands to other forums as well.
