    You know the way when you're banned from a sub forum, you can't see it anymore(it disappears) Are you allowed go around to the different sub forums you know you'll never go into(Chuck Norris, Frisbee) and asked to be banned from them. So then it'll clean the place up a bit for yourself.

    Ok at the mo i'm banned from feedback, so for me feedback doesn't show up in the list of "Sys" sub forums. So say i know i'll never wanna go into the Chuck Norris sub forum, can i ask to be banned from it so it doesn't show up?

    Actually this is the forum you should be posting in:

    http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/forumdisplay.php?f=98

    I can't say I understand exactly what you're talking about... but it certainly does sound like a pretty dumb request.

    OK, boards has waaaaaaaaaaay to many sub forums.

    I'm only interested in about 20% of them.

    If you are banned from a sub forum, it disappears and you can't see.

    So if i request to be banned from all the sub forums i'm not interested in, it will make looking at http://boards.ie/vbulletin/index.php much more pleasant for me cos i won't see all the sub forums i'm not interested in

    Aye, off with ya, I can't make head nor tail of ya. I think Dev said there are around 1000 forums, you're going to go round and ask to be banned so you don't have to look at them?????

    Well then just subscribe to the 20% that you do read instead of requesting to be banned from the 80% that you don't.

    Yes, its like Sky Digital, you know theres about 50% of the channels you'll never watch so you should be able to remove them from the list of channels so you'll find the stuff you do want to watch more easily

    As Mr Magnolia said just subscribe to the forums you want to view and ignore the rest. Simple as.

    Asking all the mods of most of the forums to ban you is a sure fire way to get a site ban.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,216 ✭✭✭Kur4mA


    Wow, thats a pretty stupid question.

    I'm not too sure but I reckon the mods/admins have better things to be doing with their time than banning you from every sub forum you know you're never going to use just so it doesn't show up in the forums list for you.

    How about you just subscribe to the forums you know you will use like everybody else does?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    Each forum has in the bar across the top a drop down which says forum tools,
    click on it in the forums you want to subscribe to and choose that option.

    Once subscribed you can use the menu at the top of the page to jump directly to your subscribed forums or you can see the latest posts in them in your control panel.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,437 ✭✭✭Crucifix


    If you really want to be banned from them you could go troll them all...

    I subscribe to threads i post in/make

    how do i subscribe to a forum?

    do all the threads from each forum(i've subscribed to) show up in a list like http://boards.ie/vbulletin/subscription.php?do=viewsubscription
    ?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 43,044 ✭✭✭✭Nevyn


    No it is not it is a pain in the tits tbh and while you could go on a get a ban spree the chances are after you were banned from 10 or more of the forums you don't like you will be branded a tard and just site banned.

    Oh and getting banned from the chuck norris forum is harder then it looks,
    I tried it a while back and despite poasting pi in all the threads was still not banned.

    That link wont open for me...

    "kill the cat" would imply condoning animal cruelty to me.

    And that was pi correct to about 10,000 digits as well.

    Firefox seems to have issues on those drop down menus by the way... I can't use it either... I'm not sure if there is another work around, so you may have to log into boards.ie with a different browser and then subscribe to the forums you want.

    This thread has run it's course. Lucky I don't ban some of ye.
    Also, any quality questions like this in feedback or helpdesk please.


  • Business & Finance Moderators, Entertainment Moderators Posts: 32,387 Mod ✭✭✭✭DeVore


    Fighting Irish you are one insult away from being site banned, forever.
    This is about the tenth time you have come up on my radar. There wont be an eleventh. Keep a civil tongue in your head.

    Re: the OP.
    Subscribe to the forums you want to view (the option is under the forum tools as explained above). These forums will then form a new list under the Subbed dropdown and you wont have to look at subfora you dont want to read again.


    DeV.
