Question about ignoring

[mish]

I think I've asked this before, but can't remember. Is it possible within the forum software to make it so that if you have a person on ignore nothing shows up? Right now, it still has a spot for their post, but says something like, "you have this user on ignore." On the app, however, it doens't show anything at all. I wonder if that can be done on here too?

Something to add: On facebook when you hide someone you don't have a note that says "so and so updated her status but you can't see it because you have her hidden."

Does that make sense?

:bow:

It's kind of like it rubs you in the face. "Ha, thisperson said something, but I'm just going to taunt you with the fact that you have them ignored. You know you want to read it. Click it. Click it. READ IT."

And then you read it and you're annoyed, and wonder why you read it.

Exactly. And we are always encouraged to ignore people instead of starting drama. Putting them on ignore doesn't really ignore them though.

I have never ignored anyone so I had no idea how it works. Hopefully there will be a way to change it.

Babycenter does the same thing and it is annoying. It says you are ignoring this user. Yeah, thanks for the reminder.

Even if she had you on ignore, she would have been tempted to read it and then read it, so she still would have been able to see you.

So. Does she really have you not on her ignore list? The world shall never know.

Don't worry. I don't have you on ignore.











Or do I?

Even if it didn't alert you to that (which I agree with everyone is annoying and tempting!), you can still see their posts when they are quoted by someone. Which once you read a quote post it makes you want to go back and read everything the posted in the thread! So if the rest of their posts didn't have a message to click in, I'd be going ahead and unignoring them just so I could red the rest. :ROTFLMAO:

So ya, I find the ignore feature not that useful in general for my personality so I just don't bother using the official ignore feature. I just use the one built into my brain instead.

On the one hand I understand why it tells you that you've missed some of the conversation. OTOH, it is taunting. I ignored someone once, and then I just had to click every time to see what they said, so there wasn't really a point. I un-ignored them to save myself the effort of clicking.

I don't even bother clicking to read anymore. The person in particular is so annoying to me that I'd rather not even see their post that's being ignored.

ETA: I understand that there's always going to be somebody somewhere who annoys you -- I just like that the App doesn't even acknowledge that the person posted and was also wondering if it was possible to implement that on here. :thumbsup:

But, you still can see their replies when someone quotes them, right?

Yeah.

It still shows their threads that they start, too, it just doesn't snow the actual post that they make -- just the other members' replies. Yk?

On the app you can still see the preview of their threads, but then if you click on them, the first posts disappear. On the site you can't hover (which I prefer).

I also kind of prefer it the way it is online with the post header there as a cue that you're missing part of the conversation. I've been confused on the app more than once trying to figure out what the next person was talking about when they were replying to someone who I had ignored..

Why is it that this type of thread always makes one paranoid that they're the one being ignored? LOL.

I'm not ignoring you. And I'm not talking about anyone specifically. Actually I don't have anyone on ignore. The way it works now doesn't help me out a whole lot.

I've not yet found a forum software that lets you completely ignore someone. I've definitely run across a person or two on some forum somewhere that I wanted to no longer exist in my mind. But, sadly, the software just isn't made like that.
