Vines

I agree that vines tend to clog the "all recent posts" and send some threads to the back pages quickly. I'm usually here early AM Eastern time, and I can't count the number of times I've seen a thread go from the top of page one to page three when I check back at lunchtime...with most of the intervening threads comprised of vine-stuff. As I have the patience and time to just go a couple of pages deep looking for things that may be of interest (not that vines aren't interesting...I click on them to see what I'm missing, so very tempting!), I sign off a bit earlier than I might if the vines weren't taking up that space.

So a way of filtering out the vines as a category makes the most sense to me...they would be there if you want them, and not there if you don't.

My 2 cents

is with Pid, Badger, gratefuldean above-bout vine bog down. Like the separate topic idea, because get aggravated too when other disucssions get buried waaaay down the page count.

When you receive 4 vines in the mail and you need to post that you received/are mailing them, it is sometimes difficult to find the vine especially when no one has posted for over a week (or longer).

But in reality if that is my biggest problem I have to face - searching for vines, well then I'm doing pretty good!

just type the vine name in the search box, Jack

It'll take you right to it, if you type the vine name correctly it'll come up in the first few hits; usually one of the New Vines forums will come up as well since the vine name appears there also.

Thanks for the search tip. That will speed things up!
