Out of interest, do you see "Ignored" posts when they are quoted by others?

I actually had to Google that term 'cooties' ... not naturally found in these them parts.

Well JT lucky that one member is not theblether ... he just seems to be everywhere.

So, if you are true to your policy of not posting on threads that have your 'ignored member' on it (and that was theblether) ... it would really cramp your prolific writing style ...

Edited for clarification

Huh? Not posting on threads with an ignored member? Who said that?

Well, I thought that it was what you meant when you wrote ...

  Quote

-- Do not post in a post that you have ignored them

above.

Must be my bad for misunderstanding.

JT ... you are one complex member!

Suppose it doesn't matter ... we are just chewing the fat here.

[Jingthing]

No. What I meant is that if you have decided to put a member on ignore, I suggest not telling that member that you have taken that action either by PM or to announce it in a PM. It may seem like the considerate thing to do, but trust me, people often take it the wrong way and start ranting about it on the open forum.

I'd like to be able to Ignore some of my recent topics; threads that I wish I'd never got involved in, but keep on popping up on my most recent theads, and I lack the discipline to avoid seeing what's going on, and feel obliged to wade through pages of bickering or spleen, on the off-chance that someone has posted something interesting. I suppose I should learn to better restrain my posting-finger.

I'm still interested to know how many Ignore lists I appear on...

SC

I would like to know if there is a way to stop those threads popping up also....some are of no interest any more and they take up valuable real estate.

actually you can, just go to manage topics(in your profile) and unsubscribe

I don't actally subscribe to threads. My "Window on TV" is Find My Content (should be "find me content", but we can't be happy all the time...).

This displays the last 20 or so threads that you posted in, most recently-updated first... so the same frequently-bickered threads stick at the top of the page, until eventually you have posted on 20 threads since you last posted on that one, and it slips onto page two of your "Find My Content".

I use the forum in the same way, hence I rarely know which sub-forum I am posting in.

Therefore, I occasionally post in the ladies forum even though I previously promised not to.

That is my excuse anyway. It is your decision whether you want to believe me.

[canuckamuck]

I just troll new content, everything flows through there.

you start to follow the thread automatically once you post in it.

If i understood correct, when you click on my content, the threads are bold, the threads you posted in,

So if you unsubscribe, those will no longer be bold, and you will not know if its been updated or anyone posted anything new, and with time, it will move down as new threads will take its place

[samsiam]

But I don't subscribe...I just do as described above and use the my content plug....

I'm guessing Phl 'automatically subscribes' to threads he posts on - that's an option. Then he checks his "Check my threads" box - I thought that was for comment on your sartorial attire, but I was wrong. And if a thread goes a way he doesn't like, he's man enough to hoy it out his box, instead of bleating to the mods about it. I don't think we have an equivalent option, though.

To be fair, I am not entirely sure of the above, as I have not tried to recreate it exactly as described, but I couldn't follow Phl's advice, and "My threads" box is empty.

SC

By the way, I think threads are called topics here.

I understand i also do not click on subscribe, but it seems to be an automatic thing when you post in any topic.

it may well be somewhere in the settings, not sure

Just watching with interest.

The ignore list has definitely worked for me so far - 20 on the list and less rubbish to wade through already.

A great feature and a credit to the site

That seems to be the feeling of most about your absence-less rubbish to wade.

To be honest,I'd rather he posted on this thread, and didn't bother anyone with his unpleasant opinions on the interesting threads.

I'm reasonably optimistic I'm on his ignore list, so he'll not see this until a newbie agrees and quotes me.

Yes.

Only way out is to ignore everyone and have conversations with yourself and quoting your own posts. That would be kinda weird - no wait! Someone is already doing that over in the political section.
