Title: RECENT POSTS
Post by: Broin on September 18, 2013, 12:53:26 pm

Is there some way we can get a handle on the recent posts mod on the side.  It is always flooded with EVE threads.  I'm not sure how many people are playing eve right now, but it seems like every day we get new forum posts and EVE threads starting.  I mean multiple ones every day which are just swallowing up everything else. 

To look at it you would think that we are an EVE heavy guild, but you really only see 2-3 guys posting on these threads.  Maybe 4 if you count the odd occasional post by Dago, Yotogi, or G

I don't have a problem with EVE people having as many threads as they want.  I just want to be able to see the recent threads and posts that have an interest to me or others. 

Is there a way we can make it so the Sections of the forums we aren't interested in don't show up on the Recent Post mod on the side?

Like editing subscriptions on reddit or some such?

Maybe have three separate "Recent Posts" blocks.  One for TOR forums, one for GW2 forums, one for EVE forums.  I know SMF allows for this.

People can then minimize the blocks they don't want to see by clicking the arrow in the top-right.

Just bookmark this page:  http://thefuriousangels.com/index.php?action=unread (http://thefuriousangels.com/index.php?action=unread)

You can see them all without being restricted to the list block on the side.

There's also got to be a mod for SMF that allows users to mute certain boards as well.

I believe the only reason you are seeing that many EVE threads, Broin, is because you are staff and staff still has access to those forums. No one else does have access, so no one else should be getting as flooded with them.

All of that said, just because we now have a few EVE forums doesn't mean they have to be filled up at all times. Creating a new thread isn't necessary every time you have an update - especially if the updates are coming from the same person. In the meantime, I guess I'll remove staff from those forums.

Please don't remove me from the forums. I enjoy them.
