ANNOUNCEMENT For Those Ignoring Users: Ability to View Threads Can Now Be Toggled On/Off

[Ian]

Credit @signbabybrady for being the squeaky wheel on this. I just solved the issue when it comes to not being able to see threads started by people on your ignored list, which a lot of other people had been asking for.

You can now toggle the ability to see/not see their threads by opening up the left slideout menu and scrolling down to here, and then you can toggle that box on/off:



If it's toggled on, their threads will be visible. If it's toggled off, they'll remain hidden as they are currently.

So now you can ignore a user, still be able to view their threads, and not get notifications when they respond.

Took a bit for me to solve this one, but fortunately, we finally have a solution.

 

[Ian]

Also, this is either all ignored user threads are visible, or none if you choose to leave them off. It's a blanket function at this time.

Glad to do my part lol.

I'm guessing this probably makes it easier for sb1 to screw with me.

Maybe I'll try again sometime in the future but I'm not going through all that mess again.

No, if you put him on ignore, you can check that box and you'll still be able to see all the threads. You also will no longer get any notifications. Problem solved.

Right so now he'll see my threads easier.

And so can you ... so .... ?

I really just wanted not to be censored and see everything posted but somehow I made the user experience easier for those who like to block people.

If it's something you wanted fixed then that's good though.

Or, you can put all the people irritating you that you ignored before back on your ignore list while still being able to see all the threads.

Aside from that, I'm out of ideas to help on this one.

 

[signbabybrady]

Me too

Me too

Again, you’ve got plenty of other people on here to chat with. Team is finally having a good year. Focus on that instead.

How about relegating the Bill & Bunny Megathread to the same local where the Brady//BB Dynasty thread resides alongside the Draft, NFL, Fantasy, etc ?
As you just posted above, "Team is finally having a good year. Focus on that instead."

couldn't agree more

I've seen this issue before. The remedy according to the Cheech and Chong AI is to smoke more weed.

Its GameDay so I'm working on it

One other note because someone asked me this via DM - if you have this function toggled to view threads for people you're ignoring, there's no conflict with the standard thread ignore feature. If you'd prefer not to see their thread, just hit the "ignore" button on the main page, and it will disappear and be added to the list of threads you're ignoring.

You can then toggle it back on/off by hitting either the button on the left side menu (desktop) or the left slideout menu (low-res desktop, or mobile) under "FORUMS" tab (scroll down to the 'User Links' area and hit "Ignored Threads".

I already see threads started by people I ignore, I just don't see their posts in that thread, including the OP.

That's the forum mute/block function. If you don't want to get alerts on those people you can now also add them to your ignore list and it no longer affects the thread visibility if you have the new option toggled on.

 

[Ian]

Quick bump on this for those who might not have seen it but have people on their ignore list.

Can I FINALLY stop seeing posts from that Ian guy? He has small hands and smells like cabbage!
