Bumps are annoying because they completely cluttered the “recent posts” section. I would prefer not to have to go to every single individual thread to check if there’s an update. It’s easier just to go and look at the recent posts. But with all of the vendor stuff going on the recent post section was just filled with ads and polite responses, and the actual discussions were buried in this every day. So for me personally that’s a least a little bit annoying.
Doesn’t surprise me though that some people have been drawn to this place primarily by the active market place, and any thing that decreases that would make this site less of what they have come to know it as.
I suppose running this place is a bit like trying to run a farmers market in the middle of a library or classroom. There are going to be problems... each requires different conditions to be successful.
That’s understandable. I know nothing about coding or setting up a message board, but is it possible that there could be a way for a member to set a filter which allows them to see new posts/replies in certain forum sections, and not others?
