Close the Aldershot forum
|
Speaking as a source of the “noise” I can say it wouldn’t bother me in the slightest. |
|
I would have said “maybe” as that’s usually how I read the posts. I would have asked if it was feasible to have a “Recent Posts” and an otherwise hidden “Recent Posts With Crap” option. However, one small request if you are planning to poke around the forum code. Gravatar. http → https. I filed it as a bug report ages ago (https://www.riscosopen.org/tracker/tickets/439) and at the time checked the links were exactly the same, only with the ‘s’ added. Then the forum can finally have a padlock instead of the big exclamation mark for mixed SSL/non-SSL content. |

As noted earlier, would it not keep all happy if Aldershot was omitted from ‘Recent posts’ but left in RSS, given that forums can be individually subscribed or not with RSS? Is that possible? |
|
No. I wouldn’t miss Aldershot or Test if they didn’t appear in recent posts. I’m assuming they could be subscribed to individually if someone was waiting for a reply to a post. The idea behind Aldershot is a good one. |
|
Perhaps Aldershot should only be visible to those logged in? |

I’m coming back to this a month after Andrew’s post, but…
As Rick suggested – or “would have” suggested ;) – two variations (one with, one without) seems to be a sensible suggestion. If you are going to twiddle with the RSS stuff, though, can I ask for one little feature request? That the link in the RSS feed is to the actual post, not the start of the thread? |
