how do I bar a thread showing up on a forum page

[builder22]

It's easy, navigate into a thread and just type "Who cares?" and it will disappear.

that annoys you eh?

.......

I can't imagine why you'd want to put anyone on ignore or block anything unless you're getting harrassed or something

Switch off the power.... Pull the plug and walk away from the computer!!

No it isn't mrk's
some of the threads on forums I do not read but can't help clicking them.
I have gone down all the thread I want to bar but can't see how.
Thanks

You mean you want to bar all your own threads

only way i think is to ignore the op of the thread, only problem is that'll block every thread they've started and every post they've made too.

Why don't you try it. If it's about the his lights been stolen I think you need to be a bit brighter to know how to hide threads.

You may need to enlighten him by shining a light on the location of this function.

At the time I was writing this mrk's thread was directly below mine - This has nothing to do with mrk.

just use self control and dont click on threads.

It's got to the point the space they take up in the scrolling is tedius

Ignore list is for cowards.

There are certain subjects that really annoy me for their stubborn thinking and some people become very caustic in their language.
I am at the stage now where I don't even want to read the thread anymore even though other posters put up good point they are always beaten down.
If it's there I an tempted to click on it just to see what the next reply is.

I do understand I can bar a poster but just wondered if I could bar the thread itself from popping up on my page.

vote to have OP's avatar changed to this

This.

 

[james.miller]

Ignore lists should be banned. Force people to deal with their issues like adults.


*probably not a good idea...

I'd like to block all of the @mrk threads, if I put him on ignore will that remove them?

Yes. They wont show up.

@DXP55 you can hide whole sections of the forums (so if you don’t want to look at anything in networking etc) but you can’t hide specific threads.

Currently 47 on my ignore list it seems
Makes it a nicer place but some threads get confusing when you’re missing context lol.

But you can still tell when people have posted because the timestamp bar is still there, you can still see when they have been quoted, and there is a "show hidden content" button at the bottom!

Makes it totally pointless IMO.

If I hit ignore on someone, I don't want to know that they have posted and have a button to unhide it on the fly...

Never gave it much of a chance to be fair

ever considered just having some self-restraint to not click it?

I use to think that, but lately I rather see it as time not wasted to even read the post they write, life is too short, even for a split second. It's not worth it, not even that much.

It's like I am not into reading Mums Net, if there is an entire section of the forum like mum's net, I would put that on ignore, save me a click. Slowly it all adds up. It's all about making the viewing experience more concise. Making this sentence Bold and Underline in case people miss this.

Plus, there is also the idea that you rise about it, don't interact with them, this is just taking it to the next level, don't read them, not even a glance, make it disappear. It's the same thing as not reading their posts/threads, no difference at all. If they want to bicker and quote me, let them talk to thin air.
