Ignore user function

Post by c2bill » July 26th, 2006, 9:33 am

please note that we have a new feature on the forum - ignore user. this will allow forum users to selectively ignore individual posters - each ignore post will be replaced with 'you have chosen to ignore this user'. please post with any questions.

careful using this function - i can't work out yet how to 'un ignore' someone...

<update>There is now a link to your list of 'ignored' users - you can from this page remove ignored users, or add a new user directly.

Bill-

I've got someone on "ignore," but alas his posts still show up. Does the "ig" function only work for posts made after the command has been activated?

How odd. :? For me, even posts that are months old show the substitution of
You have added this person to your Ignore List. Click HERE to view this post.
for the actual post of the ignored person. If you do a search for posts of that person, you will see the actual posts in the search return, but if you click through to the thread the posts came from, the substitution shows even on threads from March.

Thanks! The new forum has been almost un-lurkable, much less post-able, for the lack of this feature.

Same problem for me as I see that "he who shall not be named" has returned from destroying the UK Forum to spam this one but his posts still show up despite hitting the 'ignore' function.

Problem the same in IE and Firefox but I now note that I have 2 people on 'ignore' and it works fine for one of them and not at all for the other despite them both showing up on my 'ignore' page

Once you have found that this can reduce the number of repetitive posts by particular persons you have to wade thru on a thread - the answer is DEFINITELY :!:

Same here. The unignorable must have a powerful posting stroke.
