Ah, indeed -- sorry, I should have scrolled back further in the thread :o (I landed on it from a search result while looking for the missing functionality)

Only FT would make an easy function more difficult :rolleyes:

Not true at all. ALL organisations invovled with tech make things progressively harder, if not impossible, as the software "matures". It's no different from the previous decades where all software evolved until it included an email function and then all software evolved until it included a social media function. Removing useful and ease of use features/funtionality is just the latest fad for this generation of software "engineers".

imo it’s more that the new hires are tasked with doing simpler changes like deleting functionality of a link … but don’t actually understand that a lot of current users *actually like* that functionality (and thus don’t know to question (or dig into) the “why” of the go-do)

Assuming that this issue is solved…

I use the “my flyertalk” (after clicking my username) and on the left side is the ignore list.

This is approximately what it USED to look like. You could directly ignore a poster by clicking on their name and selecting the bottom option. Much easier than going to "Edit Ignore List" where you have to manually add a user (and you need to spell their username correctly). The function seemed to disappear some time in 2024.

Although not as simple as the deprecated link in the contextual menu, the easiest way I’ve found to add an egregious poster to my own private IL is to chick on said poster’s name, select View Public Profile, then utilize the User Lists drop-down. The last option on that menu is to Add to Ignore List.
