Option to put entire threads on ignore

[VALuvsMKwan]

Just curious to see if there is one or, if not, what the feasibility of implementing such an option would be.

 

[SHARPIE]

Don’t think there is one? Just don’t click on it? Hope all is well?

I will ask @Server Guy though.

@VALuvsMKwan, there is one way to ignore a whole thread if you wish to do that. Put the person that started the thread on ignore and you won't be able to see the thread at all.

I put someone on ignore, and it was my first time to ever do that. I soon discovered I could no longer see a thread that I posted in quite often. I had to unignore the member in order to see the thread because that member had started the thread.

That's the only way I know of, but it works if you choose to do that.

Yes, I have noticed that happening in those circumstances the same way that you did.

That was not the functionality I was seeking. I was seeking a way to filter on specific threads in which I had no interest in seeing or reading.

Thanks for the feedback, though.

This has been asked before and sometimes, I feel it too. So big update on this coming tomorrow after some talks with @Server Guy.

 

[VALuvsMKwan]

Thanks, @SHARPIE. I didn't mean for you or @Server Guy to go to any trouble, and I do very much appreciate the effort.

 

[Server Guy]

You can ignore threads now.

 

[SHARPIE]

And if you change your mind you can stop ignoring from your profile settings.

You can ignore threads now.

?

Thank you @SHARPIE and @Server Guy! On to streamlined viewing that doesn't make me want to scream and claw my face!

ETA: THIS IS GLORIOUS!!!!!

 

[Reuven]

Thanking you, @SHARPIE and @Server Guy! You're the best!

I just put 2 threads on ignore! So happy.

 

[Hedwig]

Can you admins see which threads are ignored by tons of people?
That would be interesting to see
I am happy too. Some titles always annoyed me and some topics I just know I will never be interested in. I put a few threads on ignore just now to test it out.

And sometimes there is a thread that you can't stop yourself from going into. If you can't see it, that helps a lot. It's like hiding the jar of M+Ms behind the protein bars.

I put a few dozen threads on ignore so far - bye bye Royalty thread - makes the first page of several threads sub-forums look kind of strange but I'll adapt.

Sadly no.

 

[Lemonade20]

When you ignore someone, do they know?

No.

I took the plunge and put a thread on Ignore. It still appears on the Forum Index, https://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/.

Oh, well. We must take what we get.

Sorry, can you explain this? I’ve tested the function out and didn’t have this issue.

I think if an ignored thread is the most recent one in a specific sub-forum, it will still show up on the main page; it's the same for a thread started by a poster who's typically on ignore. But it shouldn't appear within the sub-forum itself, or when you look at what's new.

 

[Vagabond]

Yes, that's exactly it! Thank you, MsZem.

Actually my ignored posts are showing up for me under New Posts. I guess that's not the same thing as What's new? it does appear to be only be when they are the newest post. It doesn't bother me now that I know the reason. I'm just happy to have the feature.
