Move the Steam News RSS?

[rk-]

I was going to post this in our own super-secret-Moderator forums, but figured it was better to check if I'm the only one annoyed by this issue.

I've noticed since the website update that it's harder to visually separate out the Steam News RSS Feed threads from the rest of the posts - that, or there's just been a whole lot more RSS feed threads made lately - so that when I click the Unread Posts/What's New link, it feels like all I see is 'Steam News - ______' threads.

Yes, I can make the effort to a) carefully skim through and ignore those threads or b) go to the 'Gaming' forum and hit 'Mark As Read' (though that eliminates some stuff I *am* interested in), but inevitably I find myself hitting "What's New", seeing all Steam stuff, and then moving on.

So, am I just too lazy, or are there other people who suffer similarly as poor old rk?

And, if so, is there any way we can make a separate sub-forum for the RSS feed that I can either set to ignore or go to specifically and Mark As Read?

I made a similar comment in another thread about the forum update. I, too, was dismissed and told to mark forums read.

Well rk, I am SpiderTroll and I support this thread.

Solidarity against the RSS poster!!

Yeah, I agree. The RSS threads are good when you're interested, but there are a ton of them and it does get annoying to skim though.

A fair number of discussions are held within RSS threads (I can't say what it is proportionally to the total number of RSS threads), so I check every one, and don't mind doing so.

How bad would it be to hide the new Steam RSS posts until a reply is made then it shows like any other new post?

I don't know about other people, but I browse TNR almost exclusively though the "What's New?" button. If other people are the same way, I'm not sure it would work very well.

Block the RSS poster?

[Kraven]

maybe make the steam RSS posts a different shade, like stickies?

Just making it go to its own forum would be enough, which could then be 'Marked as Read'.

Can't be done... RSS poster also does the Sunshine RSS Feed (which is in a separate forum).
