New Feature Ignorance is bliss

[Xyon]

Greetings, Orbinauts.

The forums now provide you the ability to ignore things. Don't want to see a particular thread in the recent feed? Ignore it! Don't want to see anything from an entire forum? Ignore it!

You can ignore a forum from the forum view page, by pressing "Ignore forum":

An individual thread will now have an ignore button in the same position:

And you can ignore a particular user with the button in their profile:



What's that? You ignored something by accident, or you've changed your mind and you want to see it again? Okay:

https://www.orbiter-forum.com/account/ignored will list all the content you're ignoring, and give you an option to unignore it:



Either "Unignore all" or use the dustbin icon on the item you don't want to ignore any more:


Happy ignoring!

Will users get informed somehow when someone ignored them?

Why bother? If someone wants to ignore me, screw 'em and the horse they rode in on.

 

[kuddel]

If several people ignore you, you might think about what you've posted and hopefully be a better poster afterwards.
...I know that it's wishfull thinking and trolls wouldn't change, but hey we have a nice community here so let's keep it that way!

I don't believe this is a feature, no. This is intended for quietly curating your own forum experience, not making passive-aggressive statements about the quality of others' content

OK, everyone ignore Xyon, see if she notices . . . Ready, set, go!

Ah ... no. She's one of the voices of sanity here.
