Default Viewing parameters: Part II

Though Wanax has put it in a not very nice way, he does make a point. Is there any way and/or features to filter out new posts from the Enclave Games?

I already grown out of the Enclave Games and wish it wouldn't clutter up my Show unread posts since last visit and Show new replies to your posts

Thanks in advance

I tend to agree. They tend to rise to the top of any of our statistics for post activity, and they sort of monopolize the recent posts list. I don't see them as a bad thing, but they really were never meant to be the focus of the site or the forums. They rise in the activity lists because people are basically posting tiny posts over and over again. But does anyone actually go back and read them? I am always about three seconds away from slapping a big "The End. Locked" on the three-word story.

Yes enclave posts take two minutes to post instead of 10 minutes with all of the reading and thinking needed for a thread.
PS Khanaris I tried reading the three word story once and got bored. Also enclave games can be addicting.

I agree as well, but I believe this issue has come up before and Tau Online suggested that you start to get email alerts for updated topics from now on, and that nothing could be done about it.
However, that's just off of my memory, which has been wrong many, many times.

If it can't be done than it can't be done. It is not something worth compromising the stability of the forum code for.

There is a forum modification to add this functionality, however at the moment there's a fairly big forum software update (which will affect the background coding of themes; won't bring any new features, though), hence chances are the modification won't work after the software updated. As such, I'll try and get this installed as soon as possible, however I can't make any guarantees as to when that would be.
