Can we stop linking to Ranger6g?

Forum hasn’t been the same since we lost @Sheepdog. And also @Frenchy blocked me.

I'm meeting him at the Nurburgring next Tuesday for some laps in an expiremental Porsche they need help developing. If our Great Value supermodel wives aren't "keeping us busy" I'll tell him he's missed.

the block has been the most painful experience for me as well.

He's good entertainment, for sure. Not sure how I managed to back off that line slowly with him.

if i dig deep, i might acknowledge that the loss of corresponding with Frenchie has affected me negatively and quite possible is the root cause of my anger issues

It's very possible. Rejection is a hell of a drug.

I've done that so many times! Where the heck are my darn glasses...Doh on my head.

So I went to the dollar store and bought like 10 pairs and scattered them all around the house. Now there's always a pair within reach.

I've done that. The problem is I end up with 5 pairs of glasses on my side table.

Dave is just a moderator. So he probably has no say in how this message board runs. My guess is that the company that runs all these xG forums has an interest in cross posting. That gives them more ad views.

That said and no offense Dave, I think a response of "I'll ask the admins about this and see what they say," or "That isn't possible given the current forum format." Instead of "I guess this place wouldn't be the same if some didn't always complain about trivial things," might have been a more forum customer friendly response.

Just my opinion.

This aint a mcdonalds it an online forum and we aren't customers snarky dave is great, don't be bringing your karen ways here karen

I took 4 pairs along on our trip. One day in South Dakota I couldn't find one pair anywhere, they were all in the console of my truck. lol

Thanks Buddy and no worries, I know what Augie meant and he's partially right. I could've worded it better but I don't always toe the line as a typical Mod.

Doug kind of nailed it with his comment above.?

 

[NotBudule]

That's why I have decided to consistently be a jerk.

What ? When did that start ? i must have missed it...

 

[Tracy Bowman]

Of course it's not big deal. It's just annoying is all.

I'm not a boomer. I don't pull out my laptop or go to my office just to check out the forum and a few other things. Like most people in the world the vast majority of my web browsing is done on a mobile device. Perhaps I'm missing something. But I don't see this indication you speak of.

It doesn’t show on my phone either. Does show on my iPad though, but I don’t use it as much.

 

[Radioman]

My two cents...
This is the best forum of the many I visit. Generally the members get along well and offer good advice to those that seek it. The mods here are great (don't let it go to your heads). Sometimes threads go a bit sideways but that is the nature of forums. Personally, I don't mind the 6G links but I try to be a fairly mellow guy.

I like the “farewell” posts. I have a fondness for the members here & am glad when they hang around & am sad when they leave.

While you can't too easily remove the links (well, if you write a plugin parsing the pages on this site you could likely hide those rows), you can update your hosts file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add a dummy record for that domain, something like:

127.0.0.1 www.ranger6g.com

While you'll still see the links, you will not see the page when you click them since your local computer is not hosting the site.

The site knows your registered email, would be nice if you had a way in the settings to only show threads from partner sites that have your email linked to an active account there.

⅜" drive or ½"?


Seriously though, while I appreciate the advice, that's way beyond my skill level.

Yeah, I was lost at "if you write a plugin parsing the pages on this site you could likely hide those rows".

I not sure I believe you. Should be an easy process, after the page loads scan the page looking for TD controls with dataList-cell--main in their class, then look at the child A control and if the href property starts with [NOPARSE]https://www.ranger6g.com[/NOPARSE] (you should not see the noparse tags that is preventing that from being displace as a url link, but the site is buggy. URL does not getting converted, but you see the tags stopping it) in the URL, go to that TD control's parent's parent (a TR control) and add the hidden attribute. Likely there is a way to catch it before the page is rendered so you don't see it for a fraction of a second before the plugin/script hides those rows.
