>> READ FIRST!!!
Before going through this howto post you need to get into your preferences first:
- Click on you Profile icon.
- Click on the small person icon.
- Click on the “Preferences”. The site may take a second to load your settings page.
That’s it! Now you can read the rest of this post.
>> Muting tags / categories / users
IMPORTANT: Watching and muting tags at the same time won’t work for you and will end up in notifications about muted tags too. For now, only watch or mute tags, but not both at once!
Muted tags will let you hide all content that you find disturbing. Muting tags is rather simple and takes just a minute or two greatly reducing the amount of posts you do not find enjoyable.
- Make sure you are in the “Preferences” tab.
- Go to the “Tracking” tab.
- In the “Muted” window select all the tags you don’t want to see.
- Hit “Save changes” button once you are done (IMPORTANT).
Note:
You can also follow the same steps and mute certain categories / users, you just need to pick a diffrent tab in the 2nd step.
>> Watching tags
IMPORTANT: Watching and muting tags at the same time won’t work for you and will end up in notifications about muted tags too. For now, only watch or mute tags, but not both at once!
Watched tags will result in extra notifications you will get whenever someone creates a new post with these tags.
- Make sure you are in the “Preferences” tab.
- Go to the “Tags” tab.
- In the “Watched” window select all the tags you want to be notified of.
- Hit “Save changes” button once you are done (IMPORTANT).
Note:
Selecting popular tags or too many tags might result in a notification spam.
If you have tags you’d like to follow, try using the sidebar panel instead.
>> Changing interface
If you are not satisfied with the default look of eroscripts than you can change it pretty easily:
- Make sure you are in the “Preferences” tab.
- Go to the “Interface” tab.

- The “Text Size” section allows you to increase / decrease the text size on the site.
- “Default home page” allows you to change the front page layout. “Categories” is selected by default.

If you want to be notified of new posts by user you need to change some notifications settings first:
- Make sure you are in the “Preferences” tab.
- Go to the “Notifications” tab.
- If you want to be norified of all new posts made by the followed user in the “Follow” section you need to check the “Notify me when someone I follow creates a topic”.
- Hit “Save changes” button once you are done (IMPORTANT).
- In the “Follows” tab you should be able to see all posts created by your followed users.
>> Customize Sidebar
The sidebar on the left of the webpage provides an easy shortcut for categories and tags.
If you have tags you’d like to keep track of, it is better to add them to the sidebar rather than watching/tracking the tag in the tracking preferences. Browsing them this way will respect your muted options.
Simply click on the edit button and select the ones you’d like to add.
Two additional options about the sidebar behavior can be found in your user preferences, under “Navigation Menu”.
-
“Link to the filtered list” - clicking on sidebar items will automatically send you to the “unread” or “new” list, if there is any.
-
“Show a count of the new items” - turn the dot next to the tag / category into numeric unread counts.
