I don’t know about LA anyway. Whenever I use it, posts are usually repeated (the exact posts), this contributes more to having to search through, and is one of those CT website anomalies that remains unresolved. And if there is a thread of real interest to you, simply choose to follow, that way you won’t miss a thing.
Censoring items for discussion is one thing, but wanting to manipulate what threads appear where is different, and dare I say hints at controlling behaviour? Just don’t go there if it’s of no interest, it’s that simple🙂

Posted on 19/11/2023 12:17 by TinwheelerSurely if Latest Activity doesn’t suit one's needs, the simplest way is to access the threads from the 'normal' front page? I see LA as an add on, not as the main means of reading the forum.
Anyway, no server errors on LA so far today 🤞

The latest activity page is the entry page which most see when accessing CT unless you use bookmarks and bookmark some other page. As such it is the fist page you would normally see. This is certainly the case for new and casual viewers, therefore it needs to show the main intention of CT and draw people into discussion about touring and the Club.

I don’t follow that, PD. Access to LA is not obvious and even old hands on here don't always know how to find it. Opening the Club Together tab leads you to drop down choices where the forum can be accessed via Discussions. Pic 1.That’s the obvious route.
Selecting Discussions takes you to the forum front page where all the sections are listed. Pic 2. That is surely the way new and casual viewers will access it rather than the obscure path to LA.

Posted on 19/11/2023 16:20 by peedeeIt's the top menu item which I think most would logically select.

But it isn't the top menu item in any way at all (it's the second line down and it's on the right as well) and one has to select it to get to LA, if you hover over it a number of options appear? Surely logically one only clicks on it if one wants to go to LA? And it It's not automatic and therefore it cannot be it is the fist page you would normally see. This is certainly the case for new and casual viewers, new and casuals viewers won't even know it's there.
And anyway you said but they should not dominate the front pages of a forum. It is not the front page of this forum.
To ban social posts off LA is, in my view, rather disrespectful of those posting there, surely their posts have as much right to be there as others?
