Ignore thread, method? (1 Viewer)

[Nigel Crompton]

Is the only way to set a thread to ignored:

open thread
scroll to the top of the page
click 'ignore thread'
click to confirm

Or am I missing summat ?

 

[David and Sally]

Maybe just not click on it?

That is an option, and the one that I have used thus far ... but curious.

It's the only method I know

I find it useful for clearing the clutter of threads you have no interest in

a shortcut on the post title would be handy

 

[Nigel Crompton]

Agreed. It's a bit cumbersome atm ...

Didn't it used to be like that?

What’s cumbersome about the ignore button at the top of the thread. Where else would it be. If I put it at the bottom you’ll have read the thread before you can ignore it.

How busy is your life that 2 clicks are getting you down

I like the confirmation personally, I seem to catch ‘report’ a lot by mistake and can cancel rather than make a false report same would apply to threads you might ignore by mistake , no idea how many clicks it might take to unignore

I have never ignored a thread or person, why would you..? Just don’t look a a thread that doesn’t interest you surly..?

I read everything sometimes I learn something….

Well, for argument's sake, you have to open the thread, and then you're dropped in on the last entry in the thread, then you have to scroll up to the top of the thread to get to the ignore button, then you've got to confirm and then navigate back to the list you started at.

BUT - I was only asking !!

It used to be click on ignore which then changed to unignore. Now you have to confirm ignore BUT a line near the top of the screen says you will no longer see this post again. No longer can I hunt for a post that may help a Funster just because I have no interest in it.

I'm now ignoring this thread

You open a thread and you are taken to the first unread post within the thread. So if its a new thread to you, one you've never visited before, you will be taken to the first post. If you've read some of the posts previously, we'll remember where you were and deliver you to the first unread post. If it is then that you want to ignore a thread, yes you'll need to scroll back up

We could put ignore buttons elswhere but as only around 1 in 20,000 threads are ignored, it would be a waste of screen real estate. I doubt you'll be ignoring too many, so its no real hardship to scroll up to the top.

How do you start arguments if threads start getting ignored. Or is the same as my lady wife being cross with me?

I'm now ignoring this thread

Me too ...

Me too ...

just testing 'ignore'

 

[Nigel Crompton]

And, I repeat, I only asked !!
A straight "YES" from the Oracle would've done.

(Can we have a button that allows a thread starter to close the thread when they've had enough/lost the will to live ? )

There’s another couple of pages worth in this yet….

I love the ignore thread option, it just saves the what’s new page being cluttered with “ordles”

Err .... what' the large yellow thing in your avatar?!

Oh Please! Now I have to scroll all the way back to the top of this thread to ignore it!

Jim just a question, ‘if’ I open a thread for the first time, scroll through and scan read all of the posts, and then close the thread, if then, after due thought and consideration, wake up and think “I’ll open that thread and ignore it” is that the same as if I simply never open the thread again?

If you ignore it it won't show in the list at all
