[Any way to ignore windows affinity posts?]

Hi Uncle808us,

 

There isn't a way to filter out the Windows posts I'm afraid however most Windows specific posts should be in the Affinity Designer / Photo Windows beta sections so it shouldn't be too much of an issue :)

Yes there is see my modified post.

[Any way to ignore windows affinity posts?]

The new windows beta posts are really clogging up the forum for me.

Is there any way to filter these out?
