fetcheveryone Jun 2015 3:13pm, 8 Jun 2015 16,050 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone Rather than having broad categories for threads (some threads kind of overlap categories, some don't fit into any particular category, some of which are in completely the wrong category), how about a weeding button, where you could just permanently hide the threads that don't interest you. For it? Against it? Change is not good? Leave your opinions, and stick your vote in this poll: http://www.fetcheveryone.com/polls-view.php?id=4878
Carpathius Jun 2015 3:35pm, 8 Jun 2015 6,794 posts	Quote Pin Carpathius I just skip over the ones that don't interest me, and probably wouldn't bother with a 'hide' option if there was one.
Gobi Jun 2015 3:36pm, 8 Jun 2015 56,198 posts	Quote Pin Gobi I block out 90% of the forum. That works
Spleen Jun 2015 3:58pm, 8 Jun 2015 1,073 posts	Quote Pin Spleen Yes please. A quarter of page 1 currently consists of pointless threads people only use to boost their postcount. It would be very useful to be able to ignore them before they clog the front page up even further.
Autumnleaves Jun 2015 3:59pm, 8 Jun 2015 6,174 posts	Quote Pin Autumnleaves I'm not sure I'd use it - I have the VLM & Tri threads hidden. I tend to skim the rest. I quite like the new threads at the top as they're more obvious
fetcheveryone Jun 2015 4:02pm, 8 Jun 2015 16,052 posts	Quote Pin fetcheveryone Spleen - if you switch 'Friday' off, you'll find it'll filter out a load of those already.
Nelly Jun 2015 4:02pm, 8 Jun 2015 2,533 posts	Quote Pin Nelly I think I suggested such an idea when you asked for feedback recently, so I'm all for it and it's for exactly the reasons Spleen mentions.
EarlyRiser Jun 2015 4:03pm, 8 Jun 2015 1,347 posts	Quote Pin EarlyRiser No I'm against. I like the idea of catching the pulse of Fetch. I've my Watched threads to keep tabs on threads I'm actively interested in.
Nelly Jun 2015 4:03pm, 8 Jun 2015 2,534 posts	Quote Pin Nelly X-post with Fetch... but then you lose the "Friday" threads that are actually entertaining.
LazyDaisy Jun 2015 4:11pm, 8 Jun 2015 10,895 posts	Quote Pin LazyDaisy I think I might miss threads that, once I've popped in, are actually interesting/fun/good ways to waste a few hours.
