LittleMe Jewell Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Today's peeve: Event notecards that do not provide the date of the event.

We're still here and we see you. Now that I have half of the forum blocked, I do wonder what I missed. Then I think. I imagine. A very few times I have peeked and was proven correct in my theorizing. So I'm guessing, shaking my head and after 10 years of never blocking anyone, have to admit that it is relatively blissful (or bliss-less as the case may be). 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never blocked anyone until this forum, myself. It's been 20 years for me. Yeah it is kinda peaceful until you try to read a post that quotes. Then, not so much. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not yet ready to remove my block list, even though it is the first time I've ever blocked anyone for more than a day or two. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kali Wylder Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 I waver back and forth.... sometimes I'm less tolerant than other times. Sometimes I just ban signatures I get tired of. Other times I feel like the the queen from Alice. Off with their heads! It's the same with watching the news. Sometimes I just don't want to see how bad things are, other times I overdose. Currently I have very few in the totally banned category. And I'm watching too much news. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it is kinda peaceful until you try to read a post that quotes. Then, not so much. It's not just the quotes. I don't know about any of you but this software really blows. I'll refresh a page or move to the next page and BAM! there are all the people I've blocked and their posts right there! It is next to impossible not to read something, and from that crew it is nearly always eye-rolling fodder at the very least. I've read the threads/comments where people have discussed the whys and wherefores of how making a forum 100% blocked is difficult if not impossible, but for crying out loud, at least it should block the actual posts 100% of the time, not 60%! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean come on, how could anyone ever form an emotional connection with those repulsive, pointless little fur-balls? And attribute them with characteristics!? They have three modes; 'I want attention either because I'm hungry or because I threw up a mouse in your bed and I need to distract you until I've forgotten I'm in trouble', 'I'm asleep, leave me alone' or 'just leave me alone, I'm going to pace around as if I were up to something - but obviously I'm not as I stop at every turn to try figuring out where I'm going'. And the argument that 'Oh but you know, even the Egyptians knew to worship cats'? That statement is A) factually wrong and B) the Egyptians also thought that corpses should be scooped out clean, salted and wrapped in perfumed cloth interleaved with 'magical amulets', pfft! But the one thing more annoying than cats themselves is, of course, the 'cat people'. As in, people who like cats, not people who think that they are cats - they're a whole 'nother chapter of their own - but they just can't give any rational argument ever, no matter how many times you point out that dogs are superior they just won't see reason!

It's the software. Says something when the free version (InvisionFree which was sold to Tapatalk as well as ZetaBoards) works better than the pay version. Tapatalk is horrendous and is the reason I let all of my InvisionFree and ZetaBoards forums go. Why didn't I move them to Tapatalk? Have you SEEN their forums? EEEEWWWWWWWWWWW! And that is putting it extrememly mildly. They shouldn ever have ditched the original formats. Edited June 3, 2020 by Selene Gregoire 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harper Held Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Up until recently, ignore has worked flawlessly over on VVO. I'm not sure if that's a change in the forum software, or something I did -or what. It's a recent change, so I'm suspecting it's something to do with the version Cris has installed there.

Yeah I saw that. I do still read occasionally (as you well know lol) even if I don't post any more. You all are still family. And I may post again some day but probably not until the a$$Trumpet is out of office. Edited June 3, 2020 by Selene Gregoire 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solar Legion Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Ignore works perfectly fine here and over on VVO - for me at least. On Linux. In Brave. No idea why it would misbehave for some and not everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said -I'm not sure whether it's a result of something I'm doing or if it's a change in the forum's software. Before, I wouldn't see any trace of people on my ignore list in any threads. Now I'll see their post, but instead of the body I'll see a message saying "this post is by soemone on your ignore list, click to view". And that might be from my clicking the "view ignored content" link one too many times. Edited June 3, 2020 by Han Held Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
