I only have one user on my shitlist and for a while, all was good. He went away. But somehow he's back and his avatars annoy me, for some reason.
(I tried settling things by PN but said user sees no need, hence my first use of this fine feature) I'd reduce the entire ignored thread to a minimum. Just keep the username and the date posted, get rid of everything else. |

There's loads of neat things you can do, that I'm only just discovering.
Turning off signatures, which I've just started doing so I don't have to see any more religious quotes, oversized images and sales pitches. USER CP > Edit Options > Thread Display Options Ignoring a whole thread (highly useful when a sub-forum has been rendered pointless by opportunists and shills) USER CP > Edit Optons > Miscellaneous Options And finally, so you never have to see another bloody animated gif or rotating buy-my-book avatar. Turn off avatars. USER CP > Edit Options > Thread Display Options |

Thanks for that one - some sigs were really beginning to chuff me off.

I should make a correction though, the ignore forums bit is only ignoring them from searches and from the new posts indicator thingy-me-bob. |

I don't know if it's available yet, or I haven't found it, but I'd like to completely ignore some threads (deals and freebies, writers' corner being the first that spring to mind). I'll do some more poking about. |

Yes you can ignore users, individual threads as well as entire forum sections.

I think an 'ignore threads' option was implemented recently

You may choose to exclude forums from your New Post searches and from Last Forum Activity on the frontpage. But I'm at a loss as to where you can just omit a whole forum/sub-forum. I click on Writers' Corner and Deals Freebies and hit the save button, but they're both still there when I go to the forums. Maybe I'm doing something wrong. The ignore threads is a bit 'after the fact' for me, but I can see how it is very useful. |

I don't use the new posts functions or subscribe to threads, so it's a bit of a washout for me. I'm not complaining, I can just ignore those forums myself, or maybe there's a greasemonkey script for it? In any case, it'd be cool if the forums weren't there at all when you came to the front page. (Trotsky is rolling over in his grave about this one )

Again, I'm not complaining or asking for new features. With sigs and avatars turned off, some users ignored and keeping myself away from forums that annoy me, I'm pretty much set. |
