LOL Lurk .... it's rough huh? Although I'm not monitoring the feeds myself, I find it amusing how BB appears to slip up and show us little bits and pieces (at least I seem to recall them doing that in prior years).

i have a great idea. it may be a middle of the road solution. News and Views has a "NO discussion- Breaking headlines" thread. There is also a Breaking Headlines Discussion thread. it works there, how bout here? thread One Current BB House Happenings- No discussion thread Two Current House Happenings Discussion thread- on topic discussion only plz. If us posters try to use some control and keep it narrowly focused on topic It could be a great thread but Not as Diverse as "Chatters" used to be. just an idea!

Wasn't there something like this last year? I remember I loved it b/c I could catch up in the "house happenins" thread quickly. LOVE the idea, BTW!

yes but a longer version. For instance, a current house happening could be something like "erika is furious she's been doublecrossed and going to find Dr Will to make him tell her the truth" Now if this was posted in the the No discussion thread we would be waiting with baited breath as to what will happen next...maybe even go check live feed posts to see what is happening 'real time'. If that post was done in this thread, as described above 'So enjoy the thread and use it to talk about current events on the live feeds that are worth mentioning but don't warrant their own thread!' I absolutely know that there would be post after post of "why is erika mad? Why does she think she was doublecrossed? What day did that happen? I didnt see that on Feeds, you are making it up. stuff like that. so someone who needs to quickly update themselves will end up reading multiple posts of discussion. ((not sure if I'm making myself clear. Am very tired tonight))

i think i get what you are saying sunshyne....i remember last year going into the thread that was designated for just the happenings w/o discussion and finding only bits and pieces....then having to swim through pages and pages of the chatters thread or the "ok to discuss" threads just to gather all the pieces needed to fill in the story.... i have a feeling i will be doing that again this year anyway...no matter how things try to get organized

Thank you for the suggestion/reminder Sun! We have created a No Discussion thread for just the happenings and posted a link to it at the top of this thread so it will be easy to go back and forth.

I know the mods are always busy, but I encourage the mods to be ruthless in modding the "no discussion" threads, with deleted posts ASAP if people start chattering.

LOL, Cricket...I thinkwe're using the discussion thread to discuss how the Current House Happenings-NO Discussions thread can get choked with posts that don't belong.

Cricket, This thread we are in right now is to discuss current house happenings. The other thread that Kminfinity mentioned is the Important House Happenings - No Discussion thread. That will just be for reporting what is happening with no discussion (the discussion will be here in this thread). The idea of a no discussion thread is that people will be able to scan it quickly to catch up on what is happening in the house. If they want to discuss it, they come here. Sorry if this was unclear.

Remember this thread is for discussing relatively small happenings. We don't want a new thread every time someone jumps into the hot tub. Bigger more significant events (like the endurance challenges) will have their own thread.

The no Disc happenings thread is a godsend to those of us with no feeds and who are just returning after a day or so away. We use it for a quick catchup. Then we can go and read the life feeds

I liked the synopsis threads last year...that way you could wake up in the morning while the houseguests were asleep and catch up on what happened and then IF your bosses were decent enough not to make you work you could wade through the live feed threads.
