Technically how would the expressed desire for these kinds of thread not to show up in the unread posts list?
The first option for instance. Can each thread that would meet this criteria be turned off from appearing in the lists for some members and not for others?
It's only the last option that seems to have this feature built into it.
Quote:CT proponents post their material (mostly from the ct and partisan political blogosphere) while the non-CT side, taking into account of where the material usually comes from and/or citing counter material, tells the CT people that they're nuts. Same goes for politics. [Image: smile.png]
I can see no real difference with the arguments between proponents and skeptics.

Well proponent vs skeptic is more academically serious than a good deal of CT nonsense.

We'll have to confirm with our forum tech guy, Typoz, but as far as I know, you're correct: it is only the last option that allows us to turn off visibility of posts in the unread posts list for some members and not others.

Responding here to Doppelgänger's post in the poll thread: the poll was to run for two weeks, which would give it another three and a half days to go - but it seems that the outcome is pretty much obvious by this point, so if folks are happy for us to call the result today, then I'd be cool with that. We can have our private forums set up shortly after that.
Can I take it from your "like" that you'd be happy with that too, Ian, which is especially important seeing that the two week duration was your suggestion in the first place?

Definitely. I say we call it now.

Super.
The winning poll option was for hidden forums visible only to members of a group which can be voluntarily joined/left by any registered member. This gained 11 out of 25 total votes, or 44% of the votes. Not quite a majority but close to it. Here is where things stood at the current time of calling the poll - we'll leave it open indefinitely to see if/how results change:
Code:
Within the "Other Stuff" forum by creating a new thread for each political/CT topic.
Votes: 5
Percentage of total: 20.00%
Within two individual threads in the "Other Stuff" forum: one for politics and one for CTs.
Votes: 1
Percentage of total: 4.00%
Within two sub-forums within the "Other Stuff" forum (with the sub-forums being publicly visible).
Votes: 3
Percentage of total: 12.00%
As above but with the sub-forums being visible to logged-in members only.
Votes: 5
Percentage of total: 20.00%
As above but with the sub-forums being visible only to members of (a) particular usergroup(s). Individual members will be able to join and leave this/these usergroup(s) themselves (if possible).*
Votes: 11
Percentage of total: 44.00%
I've gone ahead and created the group and forums - will post instructions on how to join/leave the group in a new thread.
Sci & I disagree on a subject that I think should be in politics, but he thinks should be in CT.
Could someone have a look at it please.
