Members Squilchuck Posted July 3, 2022 Members Report Posted July 3, 2022 Just browsed the "unread list" as I do each morning with my coffee. Biggest conversation threads were gun control and abortion. Leatherwork? Guess I'll take a break from regular reading and check back when I have questions. I've enjoyed reading the forum over the years and learned a lot about leatherwork from members. Also, it seems like saddlery posts have dwindled to a bare trickle, if that, so losing interest on that account too. Cheers! John
Contributing Member fredk Posted July 3, 2022 Contributing Member Report Posted July 3, 2022 If you browse without logging in you don't see the special off-topic threads, just the regular stuff Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..
Members Sheilajeanne Posted July 3, 2022 Members Report Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) Squilchuck, I think I know how to fix this, as I don't get notifications of new content when I log in. Go to your settings. Click on 'Notification settings' Unselect the option for 'browser notifications'. Then you can just browse the forums that interest you. The topics that have new content will show in heavier type. There will also be a list of the most recent posts on the right side of the page. Off Topic threads do not show up in that list. If you get e-mail notifications, you can unselect that option, too. Hope this helps! Edited July 3, 2022 by Sheilajeanne
CFM chuck123wapati Posted July 3, 2022 CFM Report Posted July 3, 2022 I don't see them unless i intentionally go look for them I have no idea what the problems is? Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms. “I won’t be wronged, I won’t be insulted, and I won’t be laid a hand on. I don’t do these things to other people, and I require the same from them.” THE DUKE!
Members Sheilajeanne Posted July 3, 2022 Members Report Posted July 3, 2022 Nor do I. And I just realized I was wrong about the notification thing. If you select that option, it will notify you of new posts in this forum even if you are browsing elsewhere. There has GOT to be something in 'notifications' that you can check/uncheck to fix this problem, as neither Chuck nor I get the 'Off Topic' posts listed when we sign in. I have to go to the forum to see if there's anything new, unless someone's quoted one of my posts or mentioned my name. Then I get a notification at the top of the page.

I do not understand your need to post a farewell to the group. You could have just left without mention and no one would have been the wiser.

It is called passive aggression. the posts intent is to manipulate the mods to cancel the offending forum I made a grip rap for a friend today, nothing fancy.

John Yeah my habit is to click "all activity" and yeah 40%-50% is off topic...I don't spend nearly the time on here I once did. I've asked repeatedly to make the off topic forum (especially politics) opt-in but it's either impossible on the back end of the site or like Facebook, any engagement is considered a positive.

CFM tsunkasapa Posted July 4, 2022 CFM Report Posted July 4, 2022 On the other hand, 40%-50% is about sewing machines that I couldn't care less about. We just have to not look at what we don't want. Hoka Hey! Today, tomorrow, next week, what does it matter?
