I'm looking for the button, not seeing it. Not to use it mind you....just to know where it is as a retaliatory measure.

You ignore me, I ignore you right back. :P

For the record I think it is a bad idea...it causes people to cement their beliefs by insulating themselves, become unwaveringly obtuse, and unable to understand a different point of view. Also, it's a lazy way to stifle the opposition.

You have to be using the SMF theme to have ignore work. With either theme however, if you go to your profile, there's a new link on the profile showing "Ignore user options" -- I *think* it will show you both who you're ignoring and whose ignoring you. It shows me both.

All it shows me is who I am ignoring... nothing about who is ignoring me.

Is that really necessary, though?  I don't care who ignores me.  Let half the membership do it if they want.

Perhaps no one is ignoring either of you.

You could both place each other on your ignore lists then post to see if the other has posted if they can see it.  Course you can't see each other so you wouldnt know...which would be the point!   :laugh2:

Sounds like a Brady Bunch episode.   ;D

That's not a bad point.  Maybe no one is ignoring us... then again, look at who you're talking to... between me and shmokes I figured we'd be battling the leaderboards by now.   ;D

I just noticed the ignore button on every post.  Damn it's simple to ignore someone now.  That may be too simple.

Not to mention that Saint got onto someone's ignore list before either Chad or Me . . . LOL?   ; :)  Probably not.

Then I'll be more than halfway there.

shmokes, it shows it in the public part of your profile, not on the ignore page of your settings.  Just found it.  2 people are ignoring me.   :cheers:

Wow...just added to a second ignore list, now I'm even with Chad.

I wonder though...if you are ignoring someone who starts a thread...does the entire thread say "Currently Ignoring this Thread"?

I'm up to two now as well.  I know one is Frizzle.  I doubt that one will last seeing as he spends so much time in PnR.  No idea who else is on the list.

Oh you know me too well Shmokes.  I only temp-ignored you to goat you on a little...

I tend to ignore no one...even those who are wrong.

 :cheers:

Plus,  believe it or not (and I can't believe I am about to admit this)...but I sort of value your contributions to most discussions.  While many are wrong,  you do at least put some thought in to your posts most of the time (unlike some others).

So who wants to start a pool to see how many "ignores" we can get added to?  We'll need to set a time limit, highest count wins.  Everyone kicks in $10, winner takes all >:D

How many folks are ignoring you?  Remember, you can be part of the Tool Nation.

I'm just making a point you got, evidently.  I personally think it's a shame people can't act like adults.  First it was "waaah :cry:  I don't want to be able to read P&R and I can't stop myself", and now it's " :cry: I can't skip over someone's post even though I don't want to ever read what they have to say"

Give 'em time.  If there's enough people who can't be responsible enough on their own and figure out how to blame the board software (or Saint), it'll come to fruition.

I darn near laughed out loud when I found a Lexus forum with a "Debate" section.  Apparently, there are other forums out there that understand the concept!  I can only imagine the whining that went on when that sub-forum was created.  Oddly enough, I'm not interested in their "debates" and have somehow managed to stay out of there.  Maybe I should document my behavior there and post it as a "How To:" here :laugh2:

Apparently, when someone is being ignored, a message indicating that "You are currently ignoring this member" is displayed in place of the post.

It would be nice for the reverse to also occur, where-in a message that states "You are currently being ignored by this member." displays in place of the ignoring person's post.

I think that would be really lame.  For example, Tommy, may he rest in peace, may have been so emotionally unstable that he would put me on his ignore list.  But that doesn't mean I don't want to see his posts.  Hell, I don't have Dartful ignored, and Tommy's posts were a damned sight more valuable than Dartful's are.

So maybe the message should be...."You've been cut off for a while by this member."  ;D

Your member has been cut off by this member.
