Site Change: New ignore features
As we grow, there can be times when the signal-to-noise ratio becomes annoying. In an attempt to better tune the site to individual members' preferences, substantial flexibility has been added to ignore functionality, as follows:
Forum Ignore
Members can now specify a list of forums to ignore. For example, you may not wish to see new posts in the Disadvantage and Sports forums. To ignore a forum:
- Click on the forum
- Click on Forum Tools
- Click on Ignore this forum
To restore the forum:
- Click Settings at the top of the page
- Click Thread & Forum Ignore Lists under My Account
- Unclick the forum in the Forum Ignore List
- Click Save Changes
Thread Ignore
There may particular threads that you find are interfering with the site’s usefulness. To ignore threads:
- Open the thread
- Click Thread Tools
- Click on Ignore this thread
To restore the thread:
- Click Settings at the top of the page
- Click Thread & Forum Ignore Lists under My Account
- Unclick the thread in the Thread Ignore List
- Click Save Changes
Customize Ignore
You can customize what ignore means. By default, if a thread or forum is on an ignore list, it will not appear when you click on New Posts, the Forum Display, or the Home Page list of forums. Basically, it will be as though it didn’t exist. One exception, it will appear in What’s New (which I never use). To customize this:
- Click Settings at the top of the page
- Click Thread & Forum Ignore Lists under My Account
- Change the Enable Ignore Options
- Click Save Changes
User Ignore
The new functions above are in addition to the standard User Ignore function. As a reminder, to ignore all posts by a specific member:
- Click on the member name to view the profile
- Click Add to Ignore List at the left
- Click Yes
To restore the user:
- Click Settings at the top of the page
- Click Edit Ignore Lists under My Account
- Unclick the user in the Ignore List
- Click Save Changes
- Note: You can also add multiple members on this screen.
Please notify me quickly if you notice any problems with the site.
