    I know that it is possible to block posters with whom we disagree, but what if there's a thread we just plain don't wanna see? Is there a way to block that thread?

    Yeah, it's called "self-restraint". ;)

    There's no way to make specific threads go away... but we can disable access to specific forums when there's a need... though no one's ever voluntarily asked to have any forum access taken away like that.

    Thankfully those people are to be found at other fora.

    I guess I didn't make myself clear -- I am not asking to deny anyone access to any forum or to have my access limited. I was merely wondering if a feature existed that I could use on particular threads that do not interest me so that they don't show up on my screen when I open a forum. It would appear that no such feature exists. To those puzzled by my interest in such a feature, allow me to re-iterate -- I was not seeking to muzzle anyone's right to post what they will on the boards.

    Admit it, you're sick of seeing the "private area" thread in the Whatnots forum...aren't you?!?! :p

    LKD, you're such a prude! :shake:
