Things That Annoy Me, But Shouldn't

Getting down to writing on days I have to work, while a perfectly fine day off was squandered. Though I did do some research for naming purposes.

 

That there is. We’re on your way now, anyway, so complaining was really nonsensical haha.

 

nice where are you going if you don't mind me asking ?

 

tap dripping tip tip tip.....

 

Man, get a private thread already, you two.

 

L.A. and San Francisco. Nine days!

 

fabulous have a good one

 

You seem to have fundamentally misunderstood the purpose of this thread

 

Eighteen years into the twenty-first century, and we're actually celebrating Saudi women gaining the right to drive.

 

trying to figure out a title it can be a slow process !!!

 

yep that is what I call the hype of mentality, there is no happy medium it is either one continent extremely open/tolerant/advanced call it what you may and another extremely close minded.

 

oops I saw what I did there....but on the other hand ...it did say ''but shouldn't'' a play on words I guess

 

Another eighteen years and NOBODY will drive. We'll be shooting 'drivers.' Imagine our fortunes, our prisons are bursting, our highways lined with uber-vehicles/then strapped into a drone and smashed into a mountainside. Heh heh, bad luck.

 

The alert system on the forum. Thankfully we can unwatch threads we've posted in, but it can get pretty hectic when gone for a day or two, only to find twenty or thirty "alerts" about things I honestly don't care about (Or lost interest in). No offense to anyone on here, but yeah, those alerts tend to annoy me a bit. They probably shouldn't, but it taps on the annoyance button.

 

I'd like to see an option for just one alert for each thread, then maybe a link for members.

 

I think you only do get one alert per thread, don't you? Unless someone quotes you - I think you get alerted each time for that.

 

You get an alert nearly every time someone posts in a thread you're watching.
Though if you happen to be 'inactive' for a while it will skip to the most recent
poster on a given thread to alert you.

 

One for likes, one for quotes, replies, tags, er... mentions, blogs, comments?

 

Go to Alert Preferences and then uncheck the boxes under Messages in Threads. Problem solved

 

Oh, yeah, the likes. I don't use tags, or blogs so I didn't know about that!

 

This worked like a charm. Actually, better than a charm as those don't work at all. Thanks Poemnerdy!

 

Yeah, I unwatched like ten threads the other day.

 

Fully understood, I also began to Unwatch threads as they come... It like "Nope, no longer interested". Aside from my own, I have only a few core threads I watch, and a few progress journals. Even if I dont post, i'm still watching.

 

I hate it when a thread that had gone dormant and I didn't even realize I was watching anymore suddenly blows up. Not calling out anything or anyone specifically or recently, but somebody necroposts and BOOM, suddenly I'm getting five alerts in eight minutes over a topic that drifted off to sleep two years ago.

 

I kind of like it when that happens - it's like a trip down memory lane, seeing all the different people who used to post, and the different personas they had back then...
