OT: NEW FORUM FEATURE!!! - Ignore Thread Feature Enabled - New England Patriots Forums

**Ian** · 08-30-2012, 03:30 PM

One of the mods passed along a request from some of you regarding the ability to ignore specific threads. I did some research and just added that ability, which removes the threads you ignore from appearing on the main list. Just click on a thread, click "Thread Tools", and click "Ignore this thread".

If you want to remove a thread from your ignore list, go to your User CP and look for "Settings & Options" and view your list of "Ignored Threads". Make sure you clean that out occasionally as I don't have the ability yet to purge that from the panel.

I've tested it and it appears to be working, so hopefully that makes quite a few of you a little happier

For now it's only enabled in this forum, but I'll be installing it forum-wide over the weekend.

I would thank you Ian, but I have used the ignore thread feature on this thread and cannot see your announcement.

So you can ignore the ignore thread thread then?

Hmm.... I can see a Monty Python sketch in the making here.......

People who don't like British comedy will just put it on ignore.

Maybe some are thrilled with this new addition,but to me...Meh

I don't quite understand why anyone would go into a thread that they don't like the premise of anyway,I just stay away from the 'Lets Trade Brady' type threads and go to interesting ones

Let's say you hate the postgame rant thread, just for example. Well, right after the game, that thread will be hopping, and at the top all the time. Every time you refresh your board, it'll be right up there, bumping other threads off your screen. Well, with this feature, you just put that thread on ignore, and it no longer gets in your way.

That's an awesome feature IMO! Thanks Ian

It's just another way to give you guys more control over the board and improve the user experience. It's a minor move, but it does somewhat allow you to customize what you want to see and also allows you the ability to get rid of what you don't. Also looking into some other features as well, so hopefully I'll get those worked out over the weekend.
