$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', 'A')re you sure you're not accidentally hitting "ignore" instead of "quote" or something like that? I've done that a couple of times.


Oh, give me more credit than that!

This added ten people at once. Wouldn't hit a button that many times even if I was having a seizure!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'O')r maybe it's gremlins. :)


That I'd believe.

Some people get smarter with time. Just roll you eyes and ignore them till they do.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Drifter', 'I') was wondering if we could get better 'ignore' button features, such as completely hiding any topics started by people on the ignore list,


I definitely want this. I'd rather not even see the headlines in the topics that Cid posts. I don't keep my head in the sand. I follow the news as much as anyone but I don't need his hand-picked selections in my face.

Cid bugs you? Really?

Hmm. I find him mostly innocuous.

Now ignoring me Mos, that would seem to make much more sense.

:P

What difference does it make? If you don't like someone don't read their posts. Simple as that.

That's the main reason I don't bother with ignore lists. They almost make you want to read that sh!t more.

Even if they made this change you still might see someone quoting your nemesis & get riled up all over again.

If someone quoted them, wouldn't the inclusion of the name in the quote keep you from seeing the post? Or does it only key in on the person who actually did the posting?

Think I've figured out what causes this - sometimes I use Back Page after posting to get back to the View posts since last visit feature, which seems to cause the inadvertent ignoration.

It's also easy to hit the ignore link since it's right next to the reply with quote link. I've had to clean up after that before.

What does ignore do?

Unread postby Quinny » Sun 07 Sep 2008, 14:07:18

Hi don't want to test, but does it mean the ignorer doesn't see the ignored posts?

If you ignore somebody, you will see the usual avatar and frame around any post he or she makes, but instead of seeing the text, you will see a box that says, "You have chosen to ignore this user. To see this message, click here". Or something like that.

Any time I have tried to click to see the message, it has not worked.

BTW, if you are not logged in, the feature will not work.

I only hit ignore by mistake, then I correct it by taking them out of "ignore". I want to hear every bodies opinion wither they severely criticize me or not. It might be the only way I learn something new!

I don't want/intend to use it, it's just I've been ignored by someone and wondered how it worked.

I agree with you 100%.

I just cannot fathom why anyone would deliberately choose to ignore someone's posts just because they might disagree with what they have to say or whatever...it just kinda defeats the whole purpose of participating on a forum such as this in the first place, IMO.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Hogan', 'c')ompletely hiding any topics started by people on the ignore list


I agree. This one small modification to the forum software would tremendously improve the majority of users' participation experience.

Here is a mod that might work:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', ' // ==UserScript==
// @name User Classes
// @include http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php*
// @description Adds a class to facilitate hiding a user's posts
// @exclude
// ==/UserScript==

(function() {
// Ignore posts
var results = document.evaluate("//td[@class='avatar']/span/b", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
var resultNodes = [];
while (aResult = results.iterateNext())
resultNodes.push(aResult);
for (var i in resultNodes) {
var containingRow = resultNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode.parentNode;
containingRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
var nextRow = containingRow.nextSibling;
while (nextRow.nodeType != 1)
nextRow = nextRow.nextSibling;
nextRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
}

// Ignore threads
var results = document.evaluate("//td[@class='vf2']/span[@class='name']", document, null, XPathResult.ANY_TYPE, null);
var resultNodes = [];
while (aResult = results.iterateNext())
resultNodes.push(aResult);
for (var i in resultNodes) {
var containingRow = resultNodes[i].parentNode.parentNode;
containingRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
var nextRow = containingRow.nextSibling;
while (nextRow.nodeType != 1)
nextRow = nextRow.nextSibling;
nextRow.setAttribute('class', 'phpbb_user_' + resultNodes[i].innerHTML.replace(/ /g, ''));
}
})();
')
Conform . Consume . Obey .
