Blocking a board (forum)

[kuhio98]

Is there a way to block a board so that you don't see it when you click on New Posts?

I don't want to see anything in the Dog House board. I don't want to see the thread titles alluding to some awful, depressing thing in the news. I just don't want to see them. I'm so tired of the negative things that get picked up in the press. I want to concentrate on positive things.

Yes, I know that those awful things are out there, but I want to pick and choose when I feel like I can handle them. Yes, I know I may miss some (probably very few) uplifting stories posted there.

Now I know that I don't have to visit the Dog House to read the postings, but my habit is to click on "New Posts" or "Today's Posts" to see what's happening. I'd like to continue to do that if possible -- just not see the titles in the Dog House.

Is that possible?

I will check with Paul, and he will look into it, okay?

You mean blocking a specific Forum!? You can click on those arrows in the right side under each forum, then that forum you won't see. I have done the same - and I also always open Todays Posts first.

Yes, a specific Forum. (Sorry if I didn't use the right terminology).

I didn't see the arrows on the right side like you mentioned.

Do I click on Today's Posts first and then I'll see the arrows? Or.....?

Paul is looking into it, Randi, when I do that, for example, I still see the posts from, for example, the General forum under "Today's posts," and there's no way to just not see one under a group, like the General forum contains General, Town Hall AND the Dog House.

Kuhio, it's actually the Forum above that will get closed when you click those double arrows. Try!

Karen, I am able to "close" each and every Forum by clicking all the arrows, but now I see what you mean. In Todays Posts, I see all Forums, even Dog House.

In this case I closed Dog Forum - not sure if the .pdf can be viewed, I had some problems.

Thanks Randi. I was able to view the pdf and I see what you're getting at, but that's not exactly what I'm trying to do.

When I click on either New Posts or Today's Posts, I was hoping to see the title of very post -- except those in the Dog House.

Hopefully, the attachment explains it better. I made up the entry about Animals being tortured. If it's possible, I would not want to see any thread titles in the Dog House. I could always choose to go to the forum itself to view them later.

The Dog House is a valuable forum. I just feel that sometimes we're bombarded with negative, distressing news. Though I may not read the thread, just the title itself puts mental images in my head that I would rather not see if possible.

Thanks for looking into it. I can always go back to click on the forums one at a time -- except the Dog House -- to read thread titles.

That would be great.
If it's not an easy thing to do, please don't spend a lot of your valuable time. I was just wondering.
