FlyerTalk Forums Expert How-Tos and Guides
 

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.
