Drop-Down Menu Error?

When looking at this thread in the Talkboard forum, http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/talkb...houghts-2.html , I happened to click on the handle of the most recent poster in the thread (SkiAdcock) and in addition to the usual items of PMing the person, finding posts by them, viewing their profile, etc., there are also about 30-40 "Add x to your Ignore List", and all of the names listed that are able to be ignored are ones that posted in that thread (and if someone posted multiple times in the thread, like SanDiego1k did in that thread, their name is listed multiple times as "Add x to your Ignore List"). I've never noticed this behavior before, is this normal?

I checked a few other threads in various other forums and noticed the same pattern.

Post Yes, that's the new "normal" on FT...

If you had checked Suggestions Forum, you'd learned that's a new "feature" implemented today:

A feature with some "bundled annoyance" though:

Unfortunately it also gives the option to ignore every other poster on the thread, which can be a LONG list.

Ah, thanks, lin. I hadn't checked in on that thread lately since it wasn't anything I was interested in. I'll alert a mod to close this thread.

It has been corrected to only show "ignore" the single user that you clicked on - not all who posted in the thread.
