i.e. to not see their posts in the BBS thread listing as well as hiding their, erm, contributions to other people's threads?
well to say you have averaged just 180 posts a year for four years you might as well not bother cos you aint on here much anyway. hth
I used to post a lot more on the old board but I think I'd visit this board more often if I could separate the wheat from the chuff (sic).
its because it ignores the users posts , not the whole thread. if they create a thread it will still show that thread because there are post on it from people NOT in your ignore list. If you click on thread created by someone in your ignore list the firt post of that thread wont be visible
It might surprise you to learn that some people wait until they've got useful contributions to make, and don't think it's necessary to keep people aware of their presence by continuously posting an interminable stream of nonsense.
I have a few people on ignore and it makes the longer threads much more readable not having to put up with their drivel!
