...protect me from myself.

Please give us the option of not following a thread anymore. It will help keep some of us out of trouble.

im like this IRL

i really, really wish this was an option. i have an OCD sort of thing that i have to go through and at least click on everything marked as having new posts in the "my org" section.

there are times when i'll look at a new thread and intentionally NOT comment on it, even if i have something to say because i don't want to get roped into it later

on the other hand, sometimes i do say something, and i'm kicking myself 3 seconds later, because it keeps popping up as unread

they look messy if not cleared, dont they.

i hate it when u have posted on a thread that is removed...stays highlighted 4eva

prb said:

I do the same thing. I have to to have it all cleaned. Hell I don't even read the threads half the time just click them, hit the last page and then go back to the main.

When that happens, I sometimes find myself posting more than normal - just to get rid of the damn thing!

Can't clear those pesky highlighted threads? Banish those MY ORG blues like I do, with duct tape across your monitor.

Works a treat!

Unless you want to scroll up or down.

Handy org hint #319

my mum complains when she watches a movie in her own language that she can't help reading the subtitles even though she doesn't need to. I fixed the problem by sticking some black insulation tape over the bottom 1/5 of her glasses - viola!
I see you are nearly as smart as me!

Just one more post to go, and I'll get that last closed thread offa my list.

**Done.**

wildgoldenhoney said:

I mean MyOrg homepage.

ZombieKitten said:

Or put some tape over her ears and she'll have good reason to read the subtitles.

Oh so true! It would be awesome with a feature that would, after once being chosen, keep you from viewing a certain thread. It shouldn't be reversible of course. That way you could effectively ban yourself from a thread, thus doing the mods a favour (probably ) and save yourself from a potential strike or ban.

My Grandma was blind...

...She used to watch silent movies in Braille

Teacher said:

Exactly! I'm finding it hardr and harder to hold my tongue these days.

Vendetta1 said:

I just had a week-long computer break, self "inflicted" so I'm ok. But it WOULD be a good idea, only people who're in need of it would use it anyway. Right about now I guess some dumbasses would tell us we need some self control but it's not even about that - sometimes it's the knowing you're right but you know you can't win cause you're up against morons - you keep wanting to make them see it but... so it would be a godsend.

Well, my Grandma was blind and deaf, she just sniffed the TV!

There, beat that!

Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips! (Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh) (Woah, woah, woah-oh-oh)

mcmeekle said:

Come to think of it she was deaf too

...and she was attacked by wolves who ripped her nose off

...and the terror left her devoid of all sensation

...she couldn't even lick the TV

...So she had to watch it via ESP...

...and No! ... she didn't have a special ariel for that

There ... beat that Mr Mcmeekle!
