Man I had everything set up and now it reverted back again to being gone. Guess I'll keep waiting again. Interesting how there's all of a sudden all this disruption that makes it harder for new and existing members to see political info a month and a half before the election.

It looks like they had to reset everything back to the new default again about an hour ago. I guess I get why they are doing it but while they reset everybody it would be nice if they ran the cron job to process people's changes more often than every 2 hours.
Post #3 tells you all you need to know. That's where pressure was applied.
Again, I apologize but sometimes a 10 second inconvenience is outweighed by the number of people that very much want or need those non-sports forums or non-ISU posts from being so prevalent. Understandable frustration, but some things are beneficial to help the site exist and still allow either/or customization.
In regards to being able to set a preference on which sub forums you see and/or being able to "hide" a thread, get more granular message controls, etc...
I don't maintain the code or features any longer. I only jump in when there is something that I think;
1 - Will make a big benefit to the community and don't want to wait for others to decide and act due to urgency (
). Example would be the mandatory but dismissable and scheduled news alerts as a way to route traffic for a flood of contentious conversations around a school shooting.
Or
2 - There is something I really want and don't want to ask for... and can ask for forgiveness( ). Example would be reactions (so I could dumb posts) or thread node filtering on newest posts page.
If you would like to request/suggest new features, I would post in the Site Related Forum and allow others to weight in. That allows @ChrisMWilliams a way to see and consider such posts.

again, in a state with two very competitive House races. Just got a text about the Bohannan race in a slate of 5 key races to watch.
I have set my preferences to opt in, but am still not seeing the politics or in-state forums? Is there more I need to do or is just not ready yet?
Yes, thank you, WooBadger18. Things appear to be working now. I will try to repost the current results from the Tippie Markets in Presidential Candidates if it's not showing yet.

It will be an improvement. It's probably how it should be.
I can probably name the culprits too. They are always the same. They have a hard time controlling themselves and will finally go off and send it to the cave.
Well I was in yesterday now I'm back out but just reopted back in. I'll give it some time to see if I get to stay this time.
Can you opt out? The nice thing about having it visible is that non frequent CF visitors can easily access it. I really don't care either way just expressing a viewpoint.
You can filter it out. But then you get a big block listing of your filtered forums at the top of your list.
I would make that opt out if anything. Many will just swing by to sell tickets and use it as a place to flip tickets.
So “liberals” can’t be “liberals” if they’re former Republicans? Hit me with some of that higher-educated liberal logic and explain that to me. Isn’t a liberal a liberal, even if said liberal used to think correctly at one point in their life?
