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

@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.

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. :D

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

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.
