@vickibma have you dared to look at other posts?

@sparks
Precisely!
This was not aimed at you. The email function on this forum is awkward and I got lazy and hit reply on the last posting.
Some folks on this forum feel the need to display their "superior" intellect by giving agressive and leeeennnngthy answers to simple requests or comments.
Frankly, this makes the forum unreadable. Normal people will not spend a lot of time wading through this chest-bumping.
Folks: Ask yourself whether your response is really intended to support the original poster, or whether it's actually an excercise in feeding your own ego.
Chill out. Save the forum.
@sparks is cool

Flip the switch to 'Ignoring' and see what happens. You'll still see all current and new posts, threads, topics, replies etc in 'Creative' if you go to:
https://forum.lexulous.com/category/3/creative-corner

You won't see them under:
https://forum.lexulous.com/unread
or
https://forum.lexulous.com/recent

Furthermore, you won't receive those red notifications.

Have a look at this under your settings as well:

As long as you leave those checkboxes as they are, you should start 'watching' topics you create and reply to (even if you're 'ignoring' the category i.e. the updates in unread and recent). That should include notifications, unread and recent.

I'm not ignoring those travel/language posts so those who want to do that can play around with the suggestions I've given and see what works best for you.

Thanks Dan!

I'm with you, @vickibma. Some of the people in this forum are terrible bores, and I don't like them either!
