    I guess I don't understand. If you don't like a thread or don't want to read a thread, why do you open it up and read it? The threads that I don't care about, I don't open.

    My point is not opening or reading them its having to view all of them to see what are the Latest Posts. You have to scroll thru all of them just to see new content was my point and now days it's almost the whole screen.

    here is a secret. Go to V8Buick.com and then press the “home” button. Then scroll down to the SBB or BBB section and enjoy. No one is forcing you to press the “new” button. It’s isn’t hard to navigate between the different sections. Even Hilary could figure it out.

    People should be happy. Virus threads have been replaced by threads on virus threads. :eek:

    I understand the forum is a place to escape, but it's also a place to come to heal. I hope we can keep the forum.
    These are unprecedented times and this virus is bigger than you, me, and the forum. Unfortunately and eventually some of us and our loved ones may be infected. We turn to God, family, and friends for support through these times, but I also like to come here which I consider my second family to help understand and heal through others experiences, and thoughts.
    I love sports and listen to sports talk radio in the truck all day. Unfortunately there are no sports right now, but still listen to the callers and sure the virus still comes up, it's unavoidable.
    If I really need to disconnect from it, I'll turn to comedy, a sitcom, or movie.
    Please be safe everyone.

    GETTING WORKED UP OVER WHAT IS CLEARLY A JOKE IS TRUE SNOWFLAKE MENTALITY.

    Again, I click on the new post icon I am where ALL the new posts are and when I scroll up from the bottom(I do it that way because the bottom posts are the older ones and I like to go from oldest to newest) when I am scrolling up in the new posts area I look for the sections that interest me, I do not even read the titles of the threads in the sections I am not interested in they just get passed by.

    I did NOT use all caps in that post, I used the bold button to darken the letters so hopefully you would understand what I was trying to say because it looks like you didn't from the first post.

    And by no means was I trying to tell you what to do, I wrote how I do it is all, if you don't like my method you don't have to use it.:)

    XenForo has an option to hide sections. Maybe it’s time to implement it.

    I understand you are triggered, and I apologize.

    Myself, I am just too lazy to retype a perfectly good sentence because of that stupid caps lock.

    Im kinda okay with wiping out this forum, but some threads -- like the "what are you doing" thread -- should be preserved and moved to the Bench.

    So my vote was no because there was no
    "save the okay parts" option.

    I myself am tired of the virus talk from the news and politicians. I however still want to hear from fellow board members about what they are doing to cope and how they and their families are personally making out. It is going to touch us all eventually, and it would be good to keep tabs on people here.

    So just throwing this out there, but the folks that are complaining it's "too tough" (or whatever) to have to scroll through the virus threads when they click "new posts". Really? "This has brought a minor inconvenience to how I personally like to do things so it should be banished". Does that really sound reasonable?

    Same scenario. I dont like the color yellow. Therefore it inconveniences me when I look for pictures of Buicks on here and have to scroll past the yellow cars. Therefore, I purpose you should not be able to post a picture of a yellow car here because of how I feel on the topic.

    See the similarities? That's exactly the same as some arguments here. But because yellow cars are enjoyed by other members here, I take some personal responsibility (eek!!!) and uptake the arduous and daunting task of scrolling past threads that clearly contain yellow car subject matter so I dont have to see it. It's a real tough deal, let me tell ya.....

    Come on guys, we're pretty much all adults here who've had to stand on out own two feet here at some points in our lives. So is it really that life altering to have to scroll past threads you have no interest in?? (By the way, if you can't help but click on them, you do have interest obviously. That's on you). So how's about we act like independent adults here and make choices instead of having to have it our way and our way only. It isnt that hard, I promise.


    By the way, though yellow isnt my favorite paint color, that choice was clearly for example purposes. You gsx owners put your pitchforks away, I'd still own one! :cool:

    This site has been politics free for as long as I’ve been here, I get it’s a big deal and will effect is all but why change a good thing (keeping it politics free)?

    having a thread about what people are doing on their lockdown/time off/working from home seems perfectly fine to me.
