Ignore a thread - can you?

[ColinJ]

I was just about to ask this question but found this thread so I thought I would post here.

I notice that there is now an add-on for XenForo which does allow individual threads to be ignored.

I agree with smokeysmoo that this would be a nice feature to have. There are certain popular threads which I never go into which keep showing up in New Posts - How far do you commute...., for example. I would like to be able to filter them out of the New Posts list unless I removed the filter from them.

Ignore User and Ignore Forum are two very useful tools, be useful if Ignore Thread worked too!

I'm aware of the add-on but won't be installing it on any of the forums.

 

[Dogtrousers]

OK, fair enough.
I guess only a few of us would use it.
Now, where's that tippex?

Thanks Shaun, I see that even the greatest arent affaid of a U Turn now and again.
I have used this new feature to great effect.
I will never have to worry about the Tea thread ever again!!!! Yippeeee.

 

[Dogtrousers]

I'm happy. Soon I'll have ignores set up at so many levels that all I will see will be FNRttC threads and Biggs' latest steel restoration project ... if that.

Thank you Shaun. It's a useful add-on to "enhance my browsing experience".

Thanks Shaun, I see that even the greatest arent affaid of a U Turn now and again.

Having struck up a conversation with the developer, he was willing to make the changes I felt were necessary and worked with me to tweak the add-on to suit. I also tested it on one of the other forums to get the functionality right before adding it across all of the forums.

I still need to monitor the impact of it on the server but I'm hopeful it will be negligible.

Cheers,
Shaun

Thanks Shaun - I am finding it useful!

I don't know if this has been addressed ... While I might choose that certain threads should not show up in New Posts, I would like options to still receive alerts from those threads if members 'Like', 'Quote' or 'Tag' me. (Individual options would be the most flexible, but a single 'See alerts from ignored threads' would be acceptable.)

If you are not sure whether alerts are generated from ignored threads, please Like, Quote, and Tag me *THERE* and I will check what happens! (Tag me here to tell me when you have done it.)

 

[Shaun]

I've liked your post in the other thread - not sure if you'll get an alert or not?

Nope!

There are some long threads that I posted in which I am now ignoring, but I might well want to respond if someone tagged or quoted me later.

Well, that confirms that 'Likes' from ignored threads do not cause alerts.

I just followed my own link back to my post in that thread to confirm that I can still navigate directly to ignored threads, which I can.

... Incidentally, 'original' Tippex used a brush, not a foam wedge - that came later...

Tippex now has a foam wedge, not a brush? What sacrilege is this?

 

[Shaun]

Nope!

If you want to be alerted to actions on such threads I would suggest taking them off ignore.

Cheers,
Shaun
