How to block a members thread from showing up

 

[Selector]

Click on your name at the top blue marquee and select 'ignore'.

No. Not exactly. You click on the members name that you want to ignore and click on ignore (second from left box on bottom) button.

Is there any other way to block someone where "ignore" is not shown as an option?

If you want to get the thread that you might have replied to from showing up under the BELL notifications of new posts:

click the UNWATCH button at the top of any thread page.

It will still show in a list of what's available, but not as part of the BELL/notification icon's list.

In 12 years on this forum, I have never seen this "Unwatch" button. What am I missing?

For me, that is always an option when you "hover" the cursor over the users name. You have to be logged in first.

You have to have the thread "watched"... by replying or "watching" it via a click in a box

These settings in your preferences tabs may affect what you see under the bell icon:

OK, that is the key here. I have never watched a particular thread. I have used the "Ignore" button as described in post #3.

Thanks Willie. But you have evidently never wanted to ignore a member that does not have the "ignore" option. The other two options are available, "Follow", and "Start Conversation", but just not the "ignore" option.

That would mean the person is a forum mod or admin.

The Ignore button is not available for such folks for reasons of keeping the forum moderated

Go to the person's you want to ignore's Profile pic, click on it, at the bottom you'll find "Follow" "Ignore" "Start conversation."

Although I haven't tried it, I would think the only member's you can't ignore, would be our venerable Moderator's, for obvious reasons.

Yup. I already had that figured out.

Thanks for correcting me, Willie. I ought to know better than to spray the obvious. I have never ignored a single soul on any forum..

I have only ignored one member here in 12 years. Shortly after, that member was banned.

Well, I haven't been banned so I guess it wasn't me.

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it. The only guys you would ever want to use it on are Union Pacific fans anyway.

Gulp. At least...I hope so. After all, one of my companies still needs to buy some of your hides.
