FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
Last edit by: Zorak
FlyerTalk has the ability to add (or remove) members to an Ignore List, so you are relieved of reading their posts.

Ignore only works at the post level; it will not block an Ignored member's post if it is being quoted by a non-ignored member, nor will it block threads started by a member of your Ignore list - you will see the thread, but the first post will not be readable.

Adding a member to the Ignore list will not block PM / Private Messages or e-mails from them.

(We'd advise being conservative with this, because you may deprive yourself of valuable information at times.)

HOW TO EDIT / ADD A MEMBER TO YOUR IGNORE LIST
  • In desktop browser mode:
    • Go to My FlyerTalk (leftmost option in your blue Menu Bar). In the Settings and Options subhead in Your a Control Panel (left hand menu column) select Edit Ignore List to add (or remove) member handles.
    • OR, click on a member's User ID (in blue) in any of the forum threads and a menu will appear; click on "View Public Profile" to go to their profile page. On the profile page, below their username, there will be two dropdown menus: "Send Message" and "User Lists". Click on "User Lists" and then "Add to Ignore List"
  • In either desktop or mobile browser mode:
    • OR, if you are signed in, you can use this "express" link to edit your Ignore List (the first method under "desktop browser mode" simply takes you to this link)
In the past, members have reported blocking specified users with an available GreaseMonkey script, or a FireFox add-on for those using the FireFox browser. Internet Brands / FlyerTalk can't vouch for these working with vBulletin.

Link to GreaseMonkey script.

I will ask tech, although I suspect that the reason you get a small notification is so if there's a conversation in a thread in which a user you've blocked has the lynchpin post, there's an indication of what's going on.

That's going to be a no. We can't/won't re-code the core software to alter this function.

Ignore list

Can you make FT work like other forums such that when someone is on my ignore list I never see any of their posts - by that I mean when another person quotes them. This post is an example where the quoted post is from a poster who I never want to read another word from.

Other forums I frequent seem to manage this, can FT please. Thanks.

ignore Function

I may be having a senior moment but I can't find a way to ignore a poster that I believe is harassing me. Any pointers on how to ignore a member.

My memory, faulty as it may be, recalls that the Ignore/Mute feature was in a drop down when selecting the name of a poster in the left column. That's where I first started looking.

Not that long ago I was able to add someone to my ignore list (mine was much sooner than last year). Today, 11/22/24, that option no longer exists.

Indeed, but I think what people are referring to is that previously if you clicked on a poster's name next to their post (e.g. in the screenshot below I have just clicked on your name), the menu that pops up also used to include a way to add that user directly to one's ignore list.

Also mentioned in this previous thread: Consolidated "'Ignore User' Function - Questions & Experiences" thread

I mentioned exactly that in post #8 of this thread. At some point that valuable feature was moved.
