To visit, or not to visit, this area is left to the discretion of the forum member. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-764255 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:32:28 +0000 Anonymous 764255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't mind either way. I just need to get into the habit of clicking those 2 tabs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-764231 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:01:18 +0000 Aida 764231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also appreciate the separation, though I didn't even realize they'd BEEN separated until Una pointed it out to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763748 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 15:13:33 +0000 Mo 763748@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also appreciate the separation. I tend to feel awkward with very personal things being posted on the main page, I can start to feel that it's rude if I don't comment or offer condolences or such. O/T I can choose to go and share there or not. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763724 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:50:19 +0000 Suz 763724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the separation makes good sense, although I also agree, April, that it takes some getting used to. I frequently forget to check the OT threads and the Style exchange. It is just a new process to learn to check occasionally if I have time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763707 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:33:08 +0000 Ingunn 763707@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Shannon, Angie and QM. The separation makes very much sense and was a good decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763700 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:23:57 +0000 Transcona Shannon 763700@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Personally, I really appreciate the separation of the style posts from the OT posts and thinks it makes alot of sense. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763698 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:21:22 +0000 April 763698@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, QM and Angie. </p> <p>Old dog will have to learn new tricks, which is not the worst thing in the world. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763689 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:09:05 +0000 Angie 763689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>April, the OT posts were becoming extremely off topic and overly frequent - which I think happened very much during your YLF hiatus. This is a fashion and style forum and I am very much in favour of the separate "views". </p> <p>YLF has become a place where people can support each other about non-style related topics, so it was equally important that this sense of community stay strong and consistently supportive. This is why OT threads are still part of this forum. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763687 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 14:01:45 +0000 Queen Mum 763687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually prefer this new way. If I want to quickly see what is going on in the forum fashion-wise, I don't like having to wade through some of the OT things. I have noticed, that with the OT category, people are posting even more OT stuff. I would be mildly annoyed if some of it were on the main page. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/the-two-categories-that-dont-appear-in-the-latest-view#post-763652 Fri, 02 Nov 2012 13:00:48 +0000 April 763652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can I just whine for a moment about the Off Topic and Style Exchange categories being segregated from the rest of the forum?</p> <p>I had gotten in the habit of only looking at the Latest view. I didn't even realize there were now two topics that didn't appear there. </p> <p>It seems to me that forum regulars label their posts appropriately, and that we can all decide whether or not to open and read a thread labeled "OT" or "SE" (Style Exchange) or something else that alerts the reader that the post isn't a fashion comment.</p> <p>Am I in the minority in wanting everything in one place? </p>
