Right, so I'm sure I'm not alone in thinking that the proliferation of equipment suppliers has made Probrewer effectively unusable.
Bacchus knows I loves me some ProBrewer, but I go away for a day or two and when I come back and click on the What's New -> New Posts tab it is a tidal wave of 'Nano Brewhouse In Stock!' and 'bump' 'bump' 'bump'.... I get that certain equipment suppliers might sponsor the site and that is just fine and vital for its existence. But the number of equipment posts is too damn high!
Scrolling through seven pages of equipment listings drowns out any of the technical discussions that are the main reason most of us come here. I'm all good on equipment thankyouverymuch and if I ever do need something I've already got preferred suppliers. But adding those posters to your Ignore list is time consuming and, moreover, it just plain doesn't work. It blocks the text of the post, but not the presence in the new posts feed. So now it's just cluttered with 'Equipment For Sale!' posts that you can't read...
Is there a method within this forum software to either unsubscribe from entire forums (like I could happily never see any of the New Equipment threads) or a more effective way to banhammer some of the more obnoxious repeat offenders?
Until then I'll see you on /r/theBrewery.
