Anyway to hide Member to Member Support section on the forum?
Summary: stormatic2015 is frustrated with the inability to hide the 'Member to Member Support' section of the forum when viewing all posts because they can't reply to those topics. jonatjonatjonat and kat@ebay confirm that it's not possible to hide this section. eburtonlab suggests a feature that would allow users to filter discussions they can reply to, recalling a past feature that allowed this. rainbowtrax proposes a subscription-based system for board views, while bojangled suggests renaming the 'Member to Member' section to better reflect its function and perhaps reduce confusion for users looking to assist.
Hi Mods or anyone who knows.
Is there anyway to hide a section of the forum, EG. Member to Member support, when selecting all posts/discussions.
It is rather annoying when I dont spot this and read a thread, especially a very long one,. I think "I can help here" only to find that its locked as I cant reply to Member to Member support topics.
I know I can read them if I have issues and it may provide solutions, however I see it as totally pointless for me to see them if I cant reply.
Or is there a way to change it so its more obvious and I can ingore it.

·1 month agoI too find on occasion that I could assist on the Member-To-Member board, and in the past have sent a private message to help. Maybe it could have a name change ? As it’s not really all in member to member is it? Ask a mentor/‘expert’/boffin, I don’t know just think that people post there expecting more answers than they receive.

·1 month agoI think what the OP wants is not so much to hide the Mentor board, but to have a link of discussions that does not include the Mentor board messages, so the OP can go through a list of current discussion threads and see discussions the OP can reply to.
The old discussion boards had such a link that did not include the mentor board, which was a convenient way to see the most recent topics of discussion across many subjects instead of just looking at each board separately.

·1 month agoI posted elsewhere, what would be useful would be a link under the Subscriptions heading to view a feed of all the boards that you've subscribed to - the idea being, you subscribe to any board that you want to see and don't for the rest - which would then let every poster effectively have their own customised view of favoured boards while leaving all the rest still there to be clicked on and viewed separately any time ou choose.

Hi @stormatic2015,
Thank you for your post.
I understand where your coming from but confirming that no, its not possible to hide the member to member part. They remain viewable to all users.
Thank you,
Kat
