Can someone please help me figure out how I can block/filter out the catholic posts that have the huge long picture files?
When I browse latest posts or latest articles, there are some of these posts that contain huge long pictures etc that disrupt the flow of scanning titles for interesting reads.
I have nothing against Catholics, just spam.
Thanks
How can I filter out stupid posts like yours?
When ya find out, cc: me on it, will ya?
That can be pretty annoying to scroll through on a small touch screen device.
I usually wait a few minutes and let them get pushed off the front page.
Seems lately they are getting bumped a lot though.
Will do!
Yes, that’s the main reason I am trying to figure out how to filter them out without having to filter out anything else - looking through FR on an iphone during breaks etc., those posts make it difficult.
I don’t know how you have your FR preferences set up, but you can set “brevity” to “headers” rather than “text” and you won’t see the full content posts until you click on the specific thread.
I too weary of having to scroll an entire page to skip their overlong ubiquitous screeds but if the Ist Amendment does not have a place at FR then where does it?
So don't let the myrmidons of “The One True Religion” irritate you—many of them are good conservatives otherwise.
Your probably pushing the Browse link which is not specific. Try “Breaking News”, “Front Page News”, or “Editorial” for more specific news. You may want to look at the URLs beneath these and set up a button or two on your browser. Just a thought.
Just counted 54 finger swipes to get past this latest catholic post.
I only view the headline and an excerpt of each article. If I want to read an article I open it. It sounds like you have FR set up differently. Check settings and see if you can change it.
Sounds like a great idea. Will try that. Thanks.
“I don’t know how you have your FR preferences set up, but you can set “brevity” to “headers” rather than “text” and you won’t see the full content posts until you click on the specific thread.”
I’m really trying to avoid that, because I like seeing the longer posts for almost all other posts, especially if there are pictures (especially the funny ones etc)...
But when I have to finger swipe over and over and over and over just to get through one catholic picture post, and then it blasts right past the 20 right after it, it gets pretty annoying
I have the same difficulty. And I am not antiCatholic.
Hmm is there a way I can simply block the poster and never have to see their specific posts again?
That’s absolutely the way to do it. Can’t imagine having mine set the other way, no matter what device I’m on.
On my browser, that option is toward the top of the page I browse in. It’s a blue bar with tabs for Articles, Activity and Comments on the left and Brevity: Headers | Text to the left.... Select Headers.
That’s nothing new for me.
“if the Ist Amendment does not have a place at FR then where does it?”
Missing sarc tag?
