Hi Fellow busnuts!
We have a new feature, "Ignore User". This let's you ignore threads from a selected user or users. NOT that we EVER would have such a situation w/in our fine community. Ha ha!! Ahem. But - just in case, it is available. In your profile, check the ignore user settings. This affects only message threads. So now, if my posts seem mysteriously ignored, I'm gonna get suspicious!!! ;D :D
You will also see an "Ignore User" button by each user's posts- you can "ignore" from there as well!
Best Regards, Phil
That's funny, the ignore button did not come up on your post, but shows up on everyone elses...hmmm ::) ;D
Thank you and Mike so very much.
Matt

Ha ha! Well, I could say that because I am insecure I disabled that function for me :D but actually, it does not work for the moderators. And anyway, how could anyone possible think of ignoring the moderators!! Ha ha - ;D :D ;D
OK, better not go too far down THAT road!!
Hope this helps!
Phil
I was just gonna click it once to see if it worked, but coudn't find it, now I know why. :) I thought maybe I had one to many glasses of wine. At least I know now that I am not loosing it. I am still trying to figure out different things on this board.
Sorry,Phil, I was ignoring you...could you repeat your post???lolol....
Great idea, and thanks!!!
Mark
Phil, I think it is a great idea, the ignore button that is, but what actually happens if I click on the ignore button. Does a big message go to that person saying "you have been ignored" or what? ;D Just curious. I don't want to be rude and try it unless I have to.
No messages are sent out. You will still see that they made a post, and the subject line, but instead of the content of the post it will just say "User is currently ignored".
In this community, it is the moderating team's hope that it is the most unused feature of the forum. But for those that find themselves in a personality conflict with another user to the extent that they don't enjoy the forum anymore, this provides a way to continue to enjoy it. You can also elect to refuse their PM's in your profile settings.

That is a good question -
I don't believe a message is sent to the other person, however, I am not certain and we will test & post the result back to this thread.
Hope this helps, Phil
I hope a message isn't sent. I just clicked ignore on airbag (just to see what it would do), and saw the results. I quickly undid it ;D ;D ;D.
A very convenient feature...Thanks ;D.
God bless,
John
Oh boy, I can see I'm gonna be spending a bunch of wasted time typing now! (just to be ignored! ;D )
;D BK ;D
Hey Knuckle!! I can't see your post!! :D ;D
KIDDING!!
Notice is NOT sent to the target of the block. They will NOT know they have been blocked.
Hope this helps,
Phil

OK - Everybody is a comedian these days... :D
This was an idea from the membership - and we always do appreciate all the good suggestions we receive. It really helps make this an awesome community!!
Best Regards, Phil
I'm sorry guys, what were you saying? lol with my memory I have one built in lol. Next feature to work on is to be able to send pics or files to each other, then we'll see about voice enabling the chatroom, then video, who knows how many ways we can spend your money, expiring minds want to know.

;D ROFLMAO!
If you check someone's profile it will show how many members are blocking that person.
Now you need to put the information in each users profile. "Len Silva is being ignored by 347 users"
There I am, 10 seconds late. Please ignore me.
"see about voice enabling the chatroom, then video,"
Live video would be great in chat....for now I guess photos will have to do.
Me first...
Cool, I'm already being ignored by one member, I'm thinking it might be libby lol.
I just ignore everyone who doesn't agree with me anyway! ;D ;D
Although it is fun to watch the comments! :D
I can see it now, live video, dress appropriately please!
This is a great tool.
My ignore list is small..presently populated only by chat-banned members (you know who you are ;))
Thanks to the moderators.
Mark
This is really kind of a sad statement on our society. In the old days, if you wanted to ignore someone, you just ignored them. Period. Now, we have to have a computer button to ignore them.
I was going to say it's the height of laziness, but I'm not sure that clicking a button to ignore someone isn't actually MORE work than just ignoring them in the first place!
Awww, man. I am ignored by somebody. :P
Cody, If you take me off of your ignore list, then I will take you off of mine ;D :D :D ;D. Just kidding ;D.
It would be even better if you could see who was ignoring you :o :o :o.
God bless,
John
I'd like to know so I could adjust my sawdust rate for them lol, actually I've decided that when it gets to 5, I'll sell lol
Help!, I was experimenting, and hit the ignore member (on myself)button, and now I can't read or see any one's posts,I checked in the mirror and no me! I think I'm stuck in the boards black hole! :D :D ;D.
can some one write my mom ,tell her to send me a case of beer ;D Oh the shame of it all :D
My wife hit the ignore button years ago.
;D ;D ;D
I think that somebody went through and ignored just about everybody. Well, I guess you can't please everybody. Ay Cody? ;D
Cody, BTW, I will have to post pics, but we are just about done building the cabinets. We sure don't pile sawdust as well as you do, but I hope it will look okay in the long run.
God bless,
John
we want pics

I know, I know. Wait until we get the doors and drawers on/in. ;D ;D ;D

I am wondering why the person that is ignoring so many people even comes here if they don't want to see what we are saying. ;D
"I am wondering why the person that is ignoring so many people even comes here if they don't want to see what we are saying. "
...cause I dont have a life!!!!..lol...just kidding..it wasnt' me...heck Im not even ignored once yet....
Im kinda feeling left out.......
Hey...Ignore-amus...dont forget to ignore me too....
ps: Hi Dallas
Mark
I am conflicted. Gumpy hit my thoughts on the head. I pretty much just scan the threads from some people but I still value knowing when they post. So BubbaG gets my thanks for mentioning that we still get to see when the party posts.
I doubt that I will use this feature. I have no trouble ignoring people if that is want I want to do and I learn stuff from even the most unlikely or unlikable sources even if it is only what a bad example looks like up close. I have to admit that I was amused by one post to me that stated that they would not read any of my posts but they said that after a long and bitter harangue. This is a beautiful way, for those so enclined, to have the absolute word.
MODS
I hope the moderators will give some more thought to the feature whereby the PM mail system returns "blocked" mail as undeliverable. What could anyone fear from this? A bad PM? Being up front about your feelings? We are admonished to do things "in the light". Or maybe not being able to snicker about someone's futile efforts till the AH gets the "message"?
Bottom line: I prefer options and I support the Mod staff.
I'm with Gumpy, I just page on down If I want to ignore something somebody says or I'm having a short attention span kinda day, but i haven't found reason to completely ignore a fellow member all together.
Since the number of people ignoring me matches the number of members on the board, I can say whatever the heck I want now :o ;D I might go ahead and post that nudey picture of uncle ned :D
NewbeeMC9 - you are ONE FUNNY GUY!! ;D :D ;D
