Can I turn off "Popular topics" individually?
 

Hi,

I took the "hybrid" quiz in the hope the "Popular topics" would go away but now this is just annoying:
I participate in the "Hybrid" forum threads because there are real technical puzzles. These things are found (I believe obscured is more precise) behind section of a painted metal shells that were photographed for the quiz. It is the difference between:

• Autospeed - Julian Edgar's excellent technical journal.
• Car and Driver - the 'Esquire' of slick car magazines.

I don't mind those who choose to look at painted metal shells and believe they have many places to enjoy their interest in that art. Just I would just like the 'dirty finger nail' and skinned knuckle crowd could have places were we can look at gears and stuff. <grins>

Now I don't mind coming to the "Web" forum and seeing something like this:
I don't have an interest in 'hanging' in the "web" forum so I don't care what is here. But I do come to the technical forums, especially "Hybrid," to read and share technical content.

I just went through my "User CP" but could not find an option for turning "Popular topics" off. Is this something that another financial contribution will help fix?

Seconded. Popular Topics doesn't present anything that interests me, and it is fairly annoying.

See, I told darin to make it optional before he turned it on for members... We'll get it today one way or another :)

Cool, I can't wait until its gone it drives me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
