Oh, ahaselhu, thank you much for the information. I did not know (obviously) that such an option existed here. I'm busily typing in screen names. . . .

It seems to me that one solution to this problem would be to prevent threads in the In-State rivals section from showing up in the "Recent Threads", similar to how the Politics forum is handled. Or, if possible, allow the users themselves to set which forums show up in the "Recent Threads" and "New Posts".

Thoughts?

no one has ever had to read any thread they don't want to.

I think it would be great if I could come here and not have a daily CNN, MSN, or Yahoo! News article on the front page. I get my "news" from news sites. I get Cyclone info from Cyclone sites.

Then again, I could start posting random articles for the sake of earning credits.

Right, been hoping this could be done. It's likely far tougher to do though, than we think.

I've been working on making it a user option to decide what shows up on the frontpage but it's a major undertaking and not something I can commit all of my time to, thus it will be a while longer before it's a reality. It is in the works though.

On a side note: 2 days, 5 hours, xxxxxx

Good to know. Thanks Jeremy!

Maybe you should stay home from the game and actually do some work, for a change.

I seldom open an eiu post, so eiu messages here aren't a problem, from my perspective (other than there are too many of them, since they clog forum headers; but, that's subjective on my part.)

You sure can!! You can add them to your ignore list! Go to UserCP, and hit Edit Ignore List under Settings & Options. You could then type in the name of whomever you'd like!!

Edit - oops, just noticed someone else also responded.

Jeez...what did I ever do to you?
