...you know how we can put certain people on IGNORE if we chose to? Well is there a way to make certain threads invisible?
I find there are so many WAY off topic threads and I can't help but peek at them and then it's like a train wreck and I can't pull myself away. Next thing I know I have wasted 1/2 hour I could have spent making CC calls. I would love a feature where we could take a thread that is not of any business-interest to us and mark it "ignore" - can we do that?

Carolyn, I think the ignore feature is called restraint...like the 5 cent pens...clearance packs of paper...you know RESIST the office supplies...resist the clicking on the thread...

Resist the Chef's Lounge... LOL!

My "ignore" is that I am now limiting the TIME I spend here. I know I only have a short time so I don't even click on threads that don't "speak" to me. It has helped a lot!

I've been trying to do the same thing Beth. I do occasionally get sucked in but I'm geting much better about dragging my eyes away and just closing my browser.

Oh, I'd love this feature too! There are several threads that are just in my way! I'd also like a way to personally rank the threads - you know the ones I'm most interested in watching/reading will always appear at the top. And the ones I'm less intersted in will be at the bottom of the list.

I'd even pay more for this feature!

I guess that would be a programming nightmare for Greg.

Carolyn-I am just not posting so much anymore. I don't like heated debates and I need to work my business.

Me neither. That's why there are some threads that I know to stay away from.

We can create a 12 step program for you Carolyn!!! I have been so busy and trying to work my business too.
I too have learned to stay away from the areas where debates can get heated. I like this site for friendship and resources. I don't need anymore aggravation in life!! That is just too easy to find elsewhere!!
