New option available - You can now ignore a thread, and/or ignore an entire forum. Soon, you'll be able to ignore any given prefix, or follow a prefix.

Eventually y'all will be ignoring everyone, and you can come here just for the ads.

So if you ignore a thread, to unignore it, you have to be "in" the thread. But if it's not on your thread list or news feed, how to you access the unignore feature? Should we have a Threads you Ignore selection in our profile like we do for People You Ignore?
 
"LetsGoHuskies" Ignore feature you're saying?

Had to let'sGo sorry!;)
 
I see it. It's up near where the 'rate this thread' button used to be.

Imagine it they became the norm?

Ignore feature for "mau on AB", for "mau on Big Papi" etc etc:eek:
 
There are days (admittedly few) when I'm really proud of myself for not clicking on the key tweets thread. Ignoring it just seems too easy...

One of the best things ever to happen in the Boneyard imo was the creation of the Conference Realignment Board, which allowed me to ignore that subject entirely until it becomes so urgent that someone posts about it here. Don't get me wrong: it's a fascinating subject, and a very important one for us obviously. And I love roller coaster rides. But following that felt more like a Mission: Space ride, where forward motion is merely simulated by spinning you around really fast and showing you images of forward progress. Those rides cause me motion sickness, so I was glad to have the chance to step off.

Works great.

By the way if I start to reply to a post but then decide not to post and delete it, it appears that the typed info remains in the reply field after I exit the specific thread. This is even after I delete it.

It's autosaved. If you delete the contents of the form, you may need to click save before leaving the page.

I wasnt asking the board or mods to reinvent the wheel, was just saying we are about to start college bball season. Do we need threads about dog toys and MLB when we have off topic boards set up for that purpose?

So I can ignore the whole soccer forum, because you refuse to move it out of "UConn Sports?" YEEHAW! :)

Now you can ignore whatever you want and fully customize, personalize, and authorize every aspect of your board experience.

Ultimate control for you control freaks.

Conference realignment bores me more than any other topic. I one got on that board by accident. It was extremely painful.

Never ignored anything or anyone on the forum. Important to know who the idiots are.

Funny thing is very few people stay with ignoring someone. They can't resist not knowing what's been posted.

Thanks, Tom. The ignore thread option is a nice feature.

I wrote a script that ignores every person on every board except Chief. It saves the time of having to check off each member individually.

PM me if you need it. Makes the board more efficient in its entertainment value.

That should help you quite a bit.

According to the server logs, you are the 4th person to have this idea. You're slipping.

When one of the other three fails a drug test, I'll be on the podium.

And unlike the other three, I'm too lazy to actually follow through.

you know what would be cool @temery?

If there was a way you could see a list of people who ignore you. And actually, not necessary to see their screen names, maybe just a running count of how many people have you on an ignore list.

#goals

Its like weighing in on a weight loss program. "Oh wow, nobody additional ignored me this week, I better start another food thread"

Even better....on peoples avatar badges under "likes received" put an "ignored by xx "

That would be amazing, even just the tally of people who have ignored you.
