.:NeMesiS:. Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I don't know if this has been suggested or not. (sorry if it has) But the ignore feature needs a major upgrade. All of my members complain that the ignore feature should have a complete ignore. Meaning, instead of seeing a " you have chosen to ignore this member" message. It should like that person never excited; even on replies. Alot of other Message Board have this type ignore feature. Maybe we should too. :blush: Thank you for your time.

UBERHOST.NET Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I wonder if the staff has all of us on 'ignore'? :huh: Just kidding. Good suggestion mate. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 I disagree. If someone is quoting someone who you have set to ignore it can be confusing. Also, you might forget you are ignoring someone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rοb Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I agree that the ignore feature should do just that... completely ignore the user. Professor Piggy has a valid point though regarding the quoted posts. If someoe quoted a post from one of your ignored users you are forced to read what your ignored user has put! (also how it is currently). Unless the quote system is revised to go via member id rather than a stored display name (would require extra queries when rendering topics etc) , this feature could never really be foolproof.

Mark Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Which would then be silly (if it blanked out quotes from ignored users) as the user you are not ignoring would then have a post that doesn't make any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bfarber Posted May 15, 2006 Share Posted May 15, 2006 Personally, I think it's sufficient how it is now - really changing it to "completely" ignore users would lead to a LOT of confusion - you'd see replies that just don't make sense, without knowing that someone you are ignoring posted before someone else's reply - also, as it is now allows you to see the post if you really want to, and just ignores what they wrote if you don't. 2.1.4 or 2.1.5 fixed the ability to read the person's reply in the topic summary, so you can't see it when you reply to a topic (unless you are quoting someone, etc.). I think it might put quite a bit of overhead on IPB to really try to enhance it dynamically like it's suggested above.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
