Kar3n Posted November 1, 2018 It is possible to avoid seeing and being drawn into discussion that might be distressing or deemed unworthy as topics of conversation for TDB.  You must create a new Activity Stream and set it as your default, it can be renamed to whatever you choose. In the following example I will create a new default stream to include all areas of the forums except off grid. In doing so, I will no longer see any posts from off grid when I click what is now Unread Content (I will edit it when prompted) to the right of topic titles.  From the header, select Activity> Topics> Content Type. From the drop down menu select Topics. From there, select every forum you wish to see in your new Activity Stream. I checked them all but off grid.  After making your selections, click Apply Changes.  You will be prompted to save your new stream and rename it as something other than Unread Content if you so choose.  You may make your new stream your default by clicking the check mark next to the title of your stream. Notice in this pic, before setting it as my default, Unread Content is still listed to the right...  If you choose to edit the title of your new stream to something other than Unread Content, It will be reflected after setting it as the default.  In this example, when I click my default stream, Everything but Off Grid, previously titled Unread Content, I only see what I have chosen to see.  I hope this helps those wish to not see or participate in certain areas of the forums. It does take a bit of doing to avoid them, but hopefully it will be worth it in the end.  I am happy to help in any way I can to facilitate this for those interested and have further questions.      5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Being perfect is way too much responsibility. I will stick with being human. Â I corrected it on my end, thanks for pointing it out. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wandelaar Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) I have successfully created a stream without the Off Grid section, but what is the result of setting it as my default stream? I still have to navigate to it by way of:Â Activity > My Activity Streams > Without Off Grid (as I call it) Â Edited November 1, 2018 by wandelaar Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have circled its location in the following pic... This shortcut is on every screen, in the same location. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kar3n Posted November 1, 2018 On a mobile device the default stream shortcut is the newspaper looking icon at the top. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cheya Posted November 1, 2018 Well, guess I'll just get used to it... Thanks for thinking about it... Maybe someone else will figure it out...  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheya Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) If there IS a way to just eliminate the OG forum, that would still be preferable... rather than having that long list appear there... but whatever. Â It accomplishes the purpose... Â Â And it REALLY shortens the list! Â Hooray! Â Â Â Edited November 1, 2018 by cheya 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cheya Posted November 1, 2018 (edited) Too funny! I just noticed this topic... for me, how to get rid of the Off Grid list.... is in the Off Grid forum! Â Oh! not it's not, that's just the tag. Sorry! Â Edited November 1, 2018 by cheya 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
