Sometimes the forum gets in a heated debate that consumes the whole forum. I
am fine with people having opinions and discussing differences of opinions but
it does kind of take over the forum and make it hard to sift out anything else
that is happening there. It would be cool if there was a way to at least temporarily
hide a thread in the forum so that those who are not interested in following
a mega-thread can easy access the rest of the forum.

Maybe there already is a way to do this, that I am unaware of.

Thanks,
Pete

I think this is a great idea. The forum has been taken over by The Thread for
the last few days. It would be nice to be able to "mute" it if we so desire.

Dear Pete,

Set your view to "without replies"
and just skip the thread you don't want to see.

Use the small icon left to the thread title
to view the entire thread.
