    I'm sure Admin will be in soon to explain it further, but it's something he's trying out for a bit. He labeled it as the bot so that we would stop reporting the user.

    Testing out an eBay affiliate program. It's just in the Trucks For Sale forum, definitely not going to be auto-generating threads where it will be obtrusive or disrupt community discussion.

    Can we hide them somehow from the new posts link on an individual basis?

    On the 'New Post' listing, click on the thread title on the right side and mark the thread as read. I don't know of any other way to block a particular section. Do that when you start viewing threads, and you won't have to deal with them except the few new ones that will pop up while you are on.

    Umm, yeah. Just a PITA to have to go in and do that because the 'new post' listings is limited to 100.

    Can that be expanded at all?

    Not really, because it will pull more server resources to accomplish that. Server resources are very precious, when you have a popular site like this one. :biggrin_25525:

    Too bad there is no way to elect out.

    If there was a way to elect out the Trucks For Sale forum from new posts, I'd definitely do it for you guys. But in my experience, the impact of the truck feeds on the New Posts tool is negligible. The flood of new posts from all the other parts of the site bury the Trucks For Sale posts, and I've never found more than 5 of them at any one time.
     
    Lilbit Thanks this.

    I'm not seeing that many of them in the course of a day either, once the initial batch went through. I'm on here a lot during the day too.
