Flood of "Whatcha eating"

Hi all,

I apologize if I am nagging, and please don't hit me!

I am wondering if the "Whatcha eating today" topics can be combined a little? I feel like they are pushing other topics out of sight - every third or fourth topic on here seems to be a Whatcha eating.

I know we are all trying to find inspiration and to keep our menu plans "fresh", but I am wondering if we can make that a weekly topic or reuse the Monday/Tuesday etc. topics every week? We have two Mondays, two Thursdays and two Fridays up on the first page. Maybe I am the only one but I feel it pushes other topics out that offer a little more "variety" to the food & Nutrition section.

If this is not a good idea, I was wondering if there is a way to block those or remove them from my feed like on Facebook?

Thanks and my apologies - I am not trying to be trouble, just an idea...

Susanne

It's a valid question. I'll see how many responses we get here and if enough agree with this, I'll clean up the threads so it's not so overpowering.

Irene,

Could we make it part of the Sub-forums in the Food category, then we can just put the date in for everyone to add their menus and tips! this way it is not a new thread everyday! I really do not see the whole food forum as I just look at the 'View New content' when i log in so I never realized that it was clogging up the whole forum! Sorry!! unsure.gif

I have a suggestion in to the powers that be... stay tuned.

Awesome, thank you so much! I generally think the topics are a good idea to show what people with sleeves can eat at all the different stages!

And I am very happy I didn't get flogged...

Yeah I never noticed it either as I too just use the View New button each time I come on! I think a sub-forum of it's own is great! I LOVE seeing what others are eating!!!

Here is the new Subforum:

http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/112-meals-specific-to-being-sleeved/

It can be found in the food & Nutrition Forum. I will clean up all the already created threads and merge them all together. They will be by weekday, Monday, Tuesday, etc... I will also pin them all to the top so they won't get lost in the shuffle should many others post in the subforum. Thanks!

Irene, since it is its own forum now, I don't really think it has to be restricted to one topic per day - that was my suggestion if we couldn't get a subforum, but since that the only topic there right now, I think it would be OK to have individual posts.

Otherwise, I personally find really long topics intimidating and I usually prefer not to post there. I am not shy, but I always feel there is a big bond between posters in a topic and I feel I have the read the WHOLE thread before I reply.

Just a thought, but I think they can be individual...
