Ironic Off Topic thread

A feature change that I would definitely support is the exclusion of Off Topic threads from the New Posts search. It gets irritating to come to a sailing site, hit the New Posts button or link and see 15 Political threads and 3 sailing ones. If someone really wants to see what's in the OT forum, they should go there. Off Topic really should stay, Off Topic.

I agree CC. I frequent the OT area, but it should be truly OT.

That'll give a programmer something to do. Exclude OT from the new posts list!

I would vehemently object to that. New posts should cover all of sailnet. It is QUITE clear which new posts are in off topic for those who wish to avoid them.

Perhaps if there was an option you could select to suppress certain forums from showing up in YOUR new posts list.

I'd vote for that option.

I'd be against it as well, just as a practicality. What I would like to see though is new threads pop up more reliably in "New Posts" rather than just previously read threads. I've still got to go through the menu of each forum to find all the new threads.

I say leave it..that is where I post about my castles, and hotels, and the rest of the interesting (to some) crap I post here....besides, everytime they cahnged something here, it all went to hell....

I avoid OT as much as I can, especially the political diahrrea by my friend Sway, (BUT I can see where they are)...as I screen thru them...

It's like the porn channels we have in Europe, I don't see them, (mainly because of Fred, but I think he secretely sees them), as I said, I don't see them, per my choice...but removing them would be a removal of something I have the right to have..was I clear in this??? If they suddenly deicide to remove them...I would start seeing them...just because they are an aquired right...and it would be as if someone breached my freedom to have porn channels

then suddenly one day..I decide I don't want to write in OT anymore...but being highly volatile...I can't resist...so I write again....sorry I am weak...or...last time..because somloser decided to pick on me because of that...so OFF TOPIC HERE I COME..just to piss him off....

I say LEAVE it...AVOID IT...READ IT....all are choices
