That is easily done - simply go to 'all activity' (in the header tabs) and set up your own "my activity streams" where you can exclude any sub forums you don't want to see - for example I have no interest in polishing my mushrooms, or vintage engines so I have excluded that, As I am not currently on the canals I have excluded  the 'closures' sunforum, I have excluded Politics,  etc etc.

 

It was originally set up when the politics threads were at their height so they could be avoided - you can still go and manually read them going via the 'home' and sub forum menu tabs.

thanks Alan, 

 

I was half joking, but helpful thank you.    🙂

I think i'm missing out as I don't even know how to put on an ignore user....  now what might be really useful is an 'ignore thread' or even ignore a whole subforum  - e.g 'new to boating' then i could miss out on all the 'i've never ever been on a boat but am going to sell my house and buy a rusty knacker any advice' threads...  😂

Almost impossible to find for some reason if like most of us you’re on your phone. Can’t even recall where it is now.  It’s nowhere intuitive anyway.

I have 122 on my Ignore list.  The vast majority posted briefly, stirred up lots, then disappeared forever.  As small number I suspect are the same people under different names, some of which I think are posting currently but haven't pushed me to ignoring them yet.

I know I have got it right when I can read a whole thread in which an ignored user is blanked out and don't get to feel I have missed any worthwhile content.

122 !  Be easier not to come on here.  😂

Yes it's slightly easier on a lapdog, for reference it's under account !

Cheers.  I always find it eventually.  Just feels like it should be easier.  Perhaps the old guard have made it that way deliberately so that everyone has to read their pedantic nonsense about the RCA / RCD / ABC   😂

LOL 😆  I couldn't possibly comment....

I've decided not to respond to this thread.

Nah, it's nice to have you young chaps around occasionally. It's like when the grandkids come. Even better when they bugger off.

I think it all started with electronic calculators and how you could type in numbers that made words if you turned the display upside down! 

 

 

 

I remember finding it amusing to write "shelloil" and essooil".
