Can I hide part of the forums?

Arjay, I can help you. TV decoders commonly have Favorites menu, put all the channels you are likely to watch there.

Hm - a very common problem nowadays. The other day, I bought a new digital satellite TV. The horror - it's listing 500 TV stations. Can anyone help me not to get overwhelmed by all this media bull****? ;)

Turn the TV off.

Roland, I always thought you're one of the cool-heads around here.
For you to write the above, that's gotta be something.

I think we'll just have to wait until X100IsAwesome.com or whatever similar forum to take off, and things will be back to the way it was here :)

Hmm .. a new forum would be a great idea. And let's not forget a possibly highly profitable X100IsAwesome.classifieds.com in a couple of months as well.

I am just hoping JorgeT gets the hint, Will :)
 
could just make X100 a banned word with all the others so it gets the **** treatment. Then no one would know what anyone was talking about. Nothing new there then.;)

Unplug! We got rid of ours - No TV, No problem :cool: Anything really important can be found on the radio.
 
The X100 has it's own Sub-Forum, under the Point and Shoot forum.

It is in the Non-Rangefinder section of RFF. Along with Evil SLR's, TLR's, scale-focus, etc. It is not in with the Rangefinder forums. I remember when RFF was strictly limited to Rangefinders, and "big debates" broke out over allowing scale-focus cameras in. As RFF grew, members wanted to discuss more types of cameras. When the M8 came out, there were a lot of flamewars. Film vs Digital- even worse. The X100 is a digital equivalent of a Hexar AF, long accepted at RFF.

That is a good place for it, it is a point and shoot camera.

got rid of mine years ago. Now I get constant threats of legal action from the TV Licensing Authority for not having a TV license. The state forcing you to pay for state propoganda TV station called the BBC and then threatening you if you don't watch it. England the green and sceptred police state. I've got culture shock from my own culture.
 
Brian, what if I want to have repair forum, film and darkroom etc forums as well? Also, how that helps with getting an on-topic list of new threads?

In contrast to the Hexar AF, at the time I'm writing this, no RFF member owns an X100.

Many of us talk about cameras that we don't own.

It is called GAS.

So the X100 is the Ultimate camera to discuss at RFF. None of us own one.

If you want to limit your view of RFF to strictly Rangefinders,

set your homepage on your browser or Bookmark to this:

http://rangefinderforum.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4

Then open the forums and read the threads.

Thanks Brian, this will help.

Could there be a limit to the number of threads an individual can start in a week? I can think of a couple thread starters that could use some restraint, which might help the wheat-to-chaff ratio.

It seems to me that the forum is getting more like dpreview everyday. Good for some, bad for others. I think we are due for another splitter group (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gb_qHP7VaZE) soon.

:eek:

I realize you're really thinking my post was OT. Was it really?

If I read threads I'm not interested in, I'm no different than a compulsive channel surfer.
 
Wheat-to-Chaff- Not clicking to opening a thread is the best filter you have. The Forum, Thread Starter, and Last poster are given for each thread. Makes it really easy to spot the "Chaff". Just "filter out" by not clicking.
 
To answer the original question use the following. I suggest setting up a favourite and set its link properties to the following
Code: 
[URL="http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=159"]www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&exclude=159[/URL]

note that 159 is the forum id of the x100 forum. If you want to exclude others too, then go to the forums listing page and run your cursor over the forum link and somewhere on your screen you will see the forum id number f=nnn. In the above link you can add that number separated from previous by a comma.
Also if you want to see last n days of posts then add to end

Code: 
&days=n  where n= the number of days

so you might end up with something like:

Code: 
[URL="http://www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&days=3&exclude=159,158,68,76,48,21"]www.rangefinderforum.com/forums/search.php?do=getdaily&days=3&exclude=159,158,68,76,48,21[/URL]

the above excludes the X100 forum, the film vs digital forum and the digital forums and the off topic forum and at the same time shows the latest posts from all the other forums for the last 3 days.

Note that subforums are not excluded so you have to specify specific forums

if it is that bad maybe somebody should create TheRealRangeFinderForum.com.

Lighten up as mr Alley says is also a very good advice.
