    Crap apps (unwanted apps)

    Have you ever downloaded and installed an app that you really like, but along with that app came one or more crap apps? Apps that don't have anything to do with the one you wanted and you'd really like to get rid of. Most of the time the apps are free, and the crap apps are how they make money. Below is an article that will explain ways to safely remove the crap apps while keeping the good ones installed

    Free apps are great, but they often come with an unexpected cost — unwanted additional apps.
    Depending on how you handle them, unwanted programs can be a minor annoyance — or a daunting problem. The trick is paying attention.

    Eventually, you install the intended software and heave a sigh of relief. But just as you’re getting back to work, one or more unwanted apps mysteriously appear on your system — those really annoying browser toolbars, for example. You then waste more time removing the unwanted software — and wonder whether that free program was worth the effort.

    Question: Why can't I post links or pictures?
    Question: Why can't I have a signature, avatar, or profile picture?
    Question: What's wrong with my account?

    Answer: You are in the "registered users" user group. This group is very limited in what it can do. This will annoy spammers to no end Just keep posting once you have been registered for 30 days and have made 11 posts your account will be "unlocked".

    It's really easy to put someone on ignore and it's strongly recommended that you do so with people who's posts you don't like.

    Step 1 - log in
    Step 2 - click on the "settings" link
    Step 3 - click on the "edit ignore list" link on the left side of the screen
    Step 4 - type (or paste if you copied and pasted it) the username of the person you want to ignore
    Step 5 - click the "ok" button on the right of the screen

    Easy peasy and will lower your blood pressure. One important note though, this won't hide quoted posts. It's an oversight on the developers part and it's not an easy thing to "fix." So if someone quotes someone you have ignored, you'll see the quote.

    Alternatively when you click on a person's name and view their profile page, underneath their avatar, there is a option that says, "Ignore this person". Click that link and then click the yes button.
