Foe setting

Post by The Spindoctors » 04 June 10 3:44 pm

While it is handy not to have to read thread replies from your 'Foes' (unless you click the link), can the forum software be configured so that you don't get an email when your Foe replies?

Is it also possible not to have to see their comments if they're quoted by another user?

1. Don't think so.
2. No. It forms part of the text of the new post.

Friends enable you quick access to members you communicate with frequently. If the template has relevant support any posts made by a friend may be highlighted.

That sort of behaviour is not acceptable in this type of informational topic.
Please stop it.

There is a Greasemonkey script available for Firefox that automatically blocks any parts of pages mentioning Justin Bieber. It should be easy to hack that, I wonder if that would work.

I'll tell you why I like it

Because of these type of posts.... I don't need them... life is too short to bother with the excess negativity that some people seem to be bringing to the forums.

I use this feature. And I like it.
