You can now click on a persons name and choose "Add to Ignore List" and you won't see any more posts by that user.

Thanks to Groupee, our message board provider for adding that feature.

And it works - Rick need never bother me again! ;-)

R2 (just kidding Rick!!!!)

And if you’re indecisive, don’t forget the “Hide Post”/“Show Post” toggle in the upper right corner of each post (OP exempted).

There’s some (lots of) debate on Groupee about this feature. Appears there are some moderators that think this feature will cause more harm then good, so they’ve requested the ability to turn it off. I would have suggested they call it the “Ignore Ignore List” option, but I doubt that title would fly.

FYI – Putting someone on your Ignore List will prevent them from posting a Private Message to you. I guess that's a way of testing whose list(s) you are on.

Soooooo

Can I put all the support staff on iggy?? will that work??

I havent figured out what it will achieve, but it sounds cool

Lexie,

I think that will work, but it’s my understanding that the support staff has activated the “Ignore Forum” option, so it may not be necessary.



R2,

I know you were/are kidding. I take everything you post as a joke.
(R2's NOT on my Ignore List.)

This is how I explained it elswhere on a forum by groupee:
Our message boards have a new feature called the “Ignore List.” Use this feature to avoid seeing the posts of any user(s) you choose to ignore. For ignored users, replies in topics are hidden by default. In addition, you will not receive notifications of new content by ignored users and ignored users will not be able to start a Private Message with you.

How to use the Ignore List

1. Write down the display name of the user(s) you wish to ignore.

2. Select “MY PROFILE” from the top navigation panel.

3. Select “Ignore List” from the left menu options. This will open up your Ignore List window.

4. To add someone to the list, click the “Add Users” link (near the top of the window). A pop up window will appear.

5. Type in the Display Name you wish to ignore and click on search. You will then get a list of names that closely resemble what you have typed in.

6. Put a check in the box next to the name you wish to ignore and click on “add selected members”.

Another way to ignore a Display Name can be done right from a discussion. You start by clicking on the name you wish to ignore. A drop down menu will appear. Click on the option second from the top that reads, “add ‘name’ to my Ignore List”.


What you will see for ignored users

You will still be able to see their post if that user starts a new conversation.

For every post by an ignored user in which he/she is contributing to an existing conversation, you will now see a one line comment indicating there was a post, accompanied by the date and time of posting. If you wish, you can view each post by clicking the “”Show Post” link.

Based on the documentation (somewhat sketchy), if someone gets a message that they are trying to exceed the allowable number of users on their Ignore List, then that someone should double click on that message, which will then prompt that someone for their zip code. Upon that someone entering their zip code, the location of the nearest anger management crises center will be provided.

And should someone be experienced enough in the Ignore List feature to provide detailed instructions on their use, then the following will be helpful: More info

Oh so funny you are!
