Blocking a board (forum)

[kuhio98]

I was confused, that's all. You don't want to see the titles, yet you were in there posting. Why would you go in, if the titles upset you?

I often see titles that make me cringe in Cat General or Dog general, or the Health forums. I don't go into these topics, but I know the feeling you are describing. If I didn't want to see any of them, I guess I'd have to give up PT all together.

Ok, the last thing I'll say on the subject. It occured to me at lunch that it's kind of like the Creepy Crawly warning that sometimes appears on the Pet of the Day. The pet it is still there. You can click on it to view it and read it, but it's not thrown in your face in case you have a phobia or something.

You can go into a forum and post without reading the titles of the threads already there. I do it all the time.

The Dog House is a valuable and appropriate board. It's full of lively discussion and debate. I will continue to visit it and post there. I have no issue with anything there. Once again, I'm just asking if there is a way for a member to customize their controls to see only the forums that are of particular interest to them. If there is, I would like to take advantage of it. If there isn't, I'll go back to the way I used to do things. (Clicking on the forums I want to view one-by-one).

I am not, in any way, finding fault with the Dog House forum. I don't find it objectionable at all. Simply asking if a setting exists that I didn't know about that might increase my PT-viewing pleasure.

Cant hurt to ask.

Can't hurt ... too much.
As long as you can live through a little bit of "lip".

Good question Kuhio and you have every right to ask it.

I know I posted that I was through discussing this, but I wanted to thank you and blue and caseysmom. I thought I was just asking a simple question. Maybe I used the wrong terminology. Maybe if I had asked if you can filter the thread titles instead of blocking some folks wouldn't be so snarky.

Maybe I went into too much explanation, but I thought by giving some detail it would help Karen and Paul figure out what I was trying to say. I've never understood the whole subscribing to a forum option so I was just asking if there was a way to do what I described (since I don't know the right terminology).

I think I'll go back to the way I used to read the forums. For the first 2 or 3 years, I don't think I even knew the Dog House existed. Not the the most observant.......

I don't want to block certain member's posts -- I think that was one suggestion. That's not what I am trying to do.

Sheesh! I'm beginning to think this thread belongs in the Dog House! Still not sure why some folks continue to think I'm criticizing something. I love it here at PT and have not plans to leave anytime soon.
