Re the cover page, doesn't the revised (revised again) digest have the option to search by section - upper left hand corner? If viewing as-is, how many topics are presented as opposed to the old, old way?

If you are logged in, the digest shows topics from only the sections to which you're subscribed, right? That's what I see when I click on latest digest at bottom of this page, and is what I remember from olden days.

Since you don’t use the digest, the “issue” doesn’t affect you and doesn’t seem relevant. But to some of those that do, the change is a negative, and diminishes their enjoyment and time on the forum, period.

Just put him on the ignore list and sanity will, quickly return


Unfortunately, putting a member on the "Ignore" list doesn't weed out his posts on my version of the Hog, just shows ignore before their topic.

It works if you use the "newest topics" link at the top of the page.

1. First, only the sections to which you subscribe are in the list.
2. Second, the topics from anyone on your Ignore List will not be there.
3. Third, that list is updated in real time, not a stale "sampling" of yesterday's news (the Digest).

The other day someone suggested that “General Chit-chat” be changed to “Jerry’s Page”…………


If you want intense, informative and extremely technical data as how to use a camera, General Chit-Chat really has no place in your vocabulary or reading material.
I dont mind investing some personal time to reading about non-photography stuff.

Just because I have a radio in my car does not mean I will listen to traffic reports for the next two or three hours while being stuck in rush hour traffic.
I will listen to my classic rock and roll music station. I will listen to some CDs that I have. I will listen to my daughter singing and playing her piano.





Since it is very hard to put a piano in the back seat, I have her recordings on CDs too.
PS…Don’t be a Smart A$$!
Besides, I like Jerry!!

Did anybody say they didn't like Jerry? BUT, as you sit in traffic you indicated that you listen to various things. I think that was the point of the O.P. He'd like to hear from various people, including Jerry.

I put Jerry on ignore, thinking I wouldn’t get any more of his minutiae and subjective movie and tv recommendations. He’s still here only with the word ignore after his name. I’ve gained nothing. It’s hard to ignore his 90+% listings. I’m sure Jerry is a nice guy, but please, please somebody, something else. Anything!

OK it may irritates you a bit but do you want to deny Jerry his simple pleasure of doing it? Of course he is within his right for doing so.

Must be time for you to post 11 or 13 topics per day of your minutiae and subjective choices of material, so that you can build a section of interest to yourself.

Hardly seems fair to expect Hoggers to come up with acceptable banter material that will defy the age-old characterization:
•• some people you can please most of the time, a few people you can please all the time, but you can't please all the people all the time, and some people you can't please any of the time.

Reading anything you find annoying is NOT required - you have a CHOICE.
