Ignore Forum in New Posts? (Fixed)

Sean C · 02-18-23, 11:03 PM

Is there a way to ignore an entire thread? If so, I can't seem to find it.

The reason I ask is that the "Wolfpack Academy" threads are constantly filling my "new posts" page. I don't play Wolfpack currently - and even if I did, I'm not really interested in who has completed which exam. And I certainly don't need to be notified each and every time someone takes one.

It's like spam at this point.

Not that I'm aware of.

Onkel Neal · 02-24-23, 09:25 AM

Hmmm... I will what I can do about that.

Onkel Neal · 02-24-23, 09:28 AM

Ok, educate me, in what manner are you pulling up New Posts?

Typically, I click on the New Posts link in the navbar, and I see no Academy threads.

.

How do you access new posts and can you post a screenshot.

I am also clicking the "New Posts" link. Here is an example of what I get:

Onkel Neal · 02-26-23, 10:59 AM

Interesting. Jim, Vinnie, Marcel, what do you guys get?

u crank · 02-26-23, 12:00 PM

I was getting the same thing when all those posts were originally made. Now they are not in the recent posts but in the unread posts.

Aktungbby · 02-26-23, 12:00 PM

I also get lots of test completion posts as does SeanC, but don't object; as I will shortly be trying to pass all of them myself

as soon a my Aricept prescription gets filled. I just flunked one with a miserable 67% score! 80% was required to pass...

after which I'll get Wolfpack on steam and kick ass!

Onkel Neal · 02-26-23, 12:13 PM

Ok, let's play Help the Dummy Admin,

New Posts, I get this.

What am I missing? Are you guys set up to subscribe to every new thread or something?

Ok, ok, now we're getting somewhere, that's what I see....

I wonder if there's a way to exempt posts from the specific forum to be part of "New threads"

Onkel Neal · 02-26-23, 12:41 PM

Ok, guys, please Mark forums Read, then wait as day and tell me if you are getting New Posts without Academy posts, thanks.

Apologies for the delay but my football club were in a cup final today (lost)

I concur with Marcel though.

I came to the conclusion it can't be done-Put an entire thread on ignore..another member yes, but this is not the case here-I therefore removed my original text

All right, seems I fixed it, awaiting confirmation from users.
