I personally though that this would have been better than making the Political forum a selected forum because I could have gotten rid of all of those forums I do not want to see.

It also would not have singled a particular group out which I think is undemocratic.


2. Put a checkbox in the new forums so we can mark unwanted posts as read so we don't see them on the next time we go to the New Posts unless there is a new posting.

My feeling was that we could go to New Posts and Click on all of the posts we do not want to see be it political or feminine or items for sale, etc and do a GO and end up with a filtered list.

Caveman, I agree that this is a good option. But, I am in the software business. Sometimes things that "sound" easy and logical to users, are in fact complex and expensive to program.

I don't know if your suggestion is possible inside the framework of the provider that provides hosting for TOTV.

I agree with anyexit that TH and Tony have made the best decision for their business and (hopefully) for their customers.
