I definitely understand if the ignoring the thread ignores the comments in it by other users. I don't see what else would be possible. It would still be helpful in avoiding these trainwrecks.

Yup. But evidently, it ain't gonna happen.

Great question by the OP, btw! ^

:D :D :D

Ignore list.
 

I was finally forced to put someone on my ignore list.

This works reasonably well, but it still shows the ignored person ignored on the last post of a thread.

It would be much easier to ignore without this knowledge.

The reason the person's handle still shows up as making the last post in a thread is that, as much as you might wish ;), you didn't obliterate the person by placing them on your ignore list. They still exist for everybody else's viewing pleasure...you just chose not to personally see their commentary.

This is not an item that, IMO, TB has much control over. Perhaps it might be better switched to Technical Issues so that the HOM's/IB staff can weigh-in. Perhaps there's something with this or an upcoming edition if the vBullletin software that drives this board which may address your issue.

Can somebody clarify, please:
I'm seeking to ignore threads started by Poster A.
It seems that 'ignore user' works when Poster A starts the thread (e.g. 1 post) but that thread will appear once a different poster replies.

As long as Poster A gets a reply, I will see every single one of these threads which get a response.

(I'll have a look for the thread about ignoring threads, but I don't think that feature is switched on yet..)

Is the 'ignore thread' feature running yet, so I can customise my viewing experience, free from a few annoying threads? [Asking generally - for info purposes...]

Just to add, I checked a very popular thread and it shows the 'ignore user' feature is working for posts, not started by people on my list.

If I find an answer to my question elsewhere I'll let you know here. TIA. :)

is it something i said? I mean, i know i'm new here and all, but come on.

I wonder who won't be reading this.

ok, i'm having a bald moment.....where is the "ignore user" feature?

:cool: (bald head) MyFlyerTalk > Ignore User:

ok, maybe not being as bald then ;)......i had that- i thought i was missing a link similar to "report bad post".

thanks and now for more coffee

People on my ignore list that aren't on my ignore list
 

I was surprised to note that one I was unable to read one member's posts because they are allegedly on my "ignore" list. I don't have anyone on my ignore list (although there a couple people I consciously ignore - but that's another story :D). I went to MyFlyerTalk to check and indeed there is no one on it. :confused:

Actually, he isn't on your "ignore" list. The note you saw is what he typed in the post.

Try quoting his post & you'll see it's the text you can copy/quote.

edit: Oops.. hope this doesn't make me your little stalker. I was just reading that thread; clicked "new posts" and saw this.
