Why, hello there. I am so happy to meet you!

Allow me to introduce myself. I am the new Worth1000. Is this your first time meeting the new me? We should get reacquainted then. So many things are different about me now. Come and learn more :).

You may find yourself browsing at Worth
You may find yourself in another part of the site
You may find yourself replying in the forums
You may find yourself in a beautiful Arena, with a beautiful contest
You may ask yourself: well... how did I get subscribed here?

Letting the days go by/those aren't my choices
Letting the days go by/more keep adding on
Unsubscribe again/they keep coming back
All I really want/is only my own choices

You may ask yourself
How do I work this?
You may ask yourself
Where is that large unsubscribe button?
You may tell yourself
These are not My beautiful Subscriptions!
You may tell yourself
These are not My beautiful Arenas!

Letting the days go by/those aren't My choices
Letting the days go by/more keep adding on
Unsubscribe again/they keep coming back
All I really want/is only My own choices

Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...
Same as it ever was... Same as it ever was...


On a more serious note, it's becoming inconvenient having to keep on unsubscribing arenas from My Arenas. That tab and the My Subscription drop down are acting like the Recently Visited list.
I like the idea of being able to have a group of my own arenas in one quickly accessible spot. As it says in the site introduction, "We wanted to make a place where people could feel they were a part of micro-communities surrounding specific topics interesting to them..."


The ones with check marks are the only ones I wanted in My arenas. The Cave one doesn't do anything but lead back to the present page.
Would you please consider modifying the present concept so that the only arenas shown in My Arenas and My Subscriptions are the ones I chose. Thanks!

my list only shows the ones I joined - I'm not getting what you are looking at

I think what happens, (and I'm obviously not the coder) is when you reply to a thread in an arena you are not subscribed to, it automatically subscribes you to that arena.

I completely agree though, would like to see it only add those which you specifically select.

You get a gold star for that! Even had the music in my head... was tempted to sing along but I restrained myself. ;)

Hope you find the answer that you seek oh wise one. :)

This is correct. If you take any action in an arena, you join that arena.

Errr, but then that doesn't make it "My" arena, it makes it "any arena you go to we're going to subscribe you to whether you want it or not". :) That defeats the whole idea of individualizing the site.

I was just thinking about this as I am subscribed to all the arenas, and it has happened that I have missed voting on contests that have ended, and I actually thought they were still open for submitting (my how time flies)

I see the hat contest and wonder how I missed seeing the contest was even open for voting. So obviously I have too much stuff on my page.

so what to do?

I need Photography to be the priority for me. Photoshop would be second, and then down the list it goes.

This may be a stretch, and something to think about in future versions of W#K
but, maybe we could have something where we could prioritize arenas, so the most important ones came up first. Or figured most prominently in what was displayed on the home page.

If photography is that much of a priority to you, and you want all the latest photography contests, you should be sure to check out the photography home page and contest page. :)

I hardly know what to say. My heart is broken. MM is not on SqDD's favorites. :(

And after you gave me that nice gold star on my pumpkin.


That's why - you don't want sad admins around here - do you?

Aww, Kookaburra, it's not that I don't like MultiMedia but I'm a minimalist at heart. Simple elegance is what I like, perhaps that's why I enjoy your work so much. ;)

Nice recovery, dude.

Without that ability to edit I'll just have to reply to say that I can't get rid of the Cave tag because it keeps bringing me back to the same page I'm on when I click the tag. It's not so much an annoyance as it is a tease, lol.
