How to use other features of the forum.

Ignore Boards
Look in the "Quick Links" block in the top right corner of the forum home page. Click on "Ignore Boards" and you can ignore any board on the forum. "Ignoring a Board" will prevent topics from any board you choose from showing in "Recent Topics" or in the "Show unread posts since last visit."  However, new replies to any topic in which you have posted will show in the "Show new replies to your posts." You can still look and respond to any topics in any ignored board that you wish.

Just a heads up that the Ignore Boards in the upper right hand corner under quick links, is spelled wrong.

This is a great site and I appreciate all the work you put into it.To make it better.

That is the new category for the gory stuff.

It's dangerous what can happen late at night. 

Is that option and link working for everyone?

How about a hiking/conditions reports/where to camp board? Gather it all in one area, rather than randomly in different boards.

I like swanny's suggestion. I hate having to go to the  's sites to check trail conditions. They make me want to 

[bearpaw]

I haven't seen what you guys are talking about specifically.

Do you have some links I could look at to see exactly what you are asking for?

lotta good info on them sites

[swanny]

Here are two of the larger sites for checking specific trail conditions.

http://www.wta.org/

I think if there were a section where people could post a report of where they were and also a board where people could ask about conditions whether it's road/trail/snow line for certain areas it would clean up the General Discussion area.

I have a question - there are two boards with "word games" I have posted on and I tried to click the 'unnotify' buttons in the boards and on my notification tab in the profile but I keep getting updates on them. Is the ignore button you speak of the way to do this? I dont really want to get updates of new replies but I'd still like to be able to see the topics on the overall list - is there a way to do this?
 
I also want to say thanks for all your work on this. I am fairly new to this site still but I think its great. I send all my hunting/fishing/shooting buddies this way!

[bearpaw]

trippledigitss, if you ignore a board you will not see any of those topics in the recent topics, I don't know if it will eliminate the notifications.

[bobcat]

The ignore feature is not for the purpose of stopping notifications. Clicking the "unnotify" button should do what you're trying to do. I'm not sure why it's not working for you.

[trippledigitss]

OK - thanks, I'll try it. I would like to stop them showing up in my "show new replies to you posts" sections. Thanks again!
