Hi, chickenbutt!

There is no "ignore" feature.  They stated in the blogs about the changes that for the time being that option wouldn't be offered.

Thanks, dooB!  Bummer.   I'll live.  But I have to 'ignore' the ones who post in all  bolded or caps (screaming) and the ones who post with a whole post of one ginormous sentence with a bunch of dots every few words.   Those three things make my eyeballs bleed.      So, it's easier to be able to scroll through a thread and not see them at all.

Hopefully, they'll add that back in.  One of the things I really like that they added back into the board is the 'last post' thing where you can just click on the thread title and, assuming you're logged in I imagine, it takes you right to the last post you saw in that thread.    That was a BIG improvement.

I just turned all that off in preferences.  I'm not interested, so I'm glad that they give the choice.  Also turned off 'sig lines'. 

There really are some good choices in prefs, so I'm glad I looked around this morning and changed a bunch of things.

Once I changed the format to 'Forum View Only', THAT was the  thing that turned the corner for me.  Before that, I was seeing just a jumble of messed up stuff.  Now I see the Forums listed along the left margin, no weird stuff I was seeing this morning, and when I enter a forum, the threads are easy to discern.

I wonder why they chose to delete a lot of new threads and left a lot of really old threads.   That seems quite odd to me.

Also, we're all newbies now!  I have a new date of 3/9/10 for my joining date.  I guess  it's like the thing they did in Oct of 2004.  I came here right after that, but noticed that almost everybody else had that as their start date.   They must pick these numbers out of their - well, you know. 

ETA - Also, has anybody found the 'Ignore' feature yet?

I'm pretty sure the ignore feature is gone. But who can know for certain.

You're welcome, chickie!

There was a fair amount of grumbling when they posted that the "ignore" feature wouldn't be offered.  I was surprised they omitted it, since it's a standard feature on most forums I've seen.

Yes, I like being able to go directly to the last post we read!  There are several things I like, but navigating this place and having no sub-forums is the pits.

Yeah, 'Ignore' is a pretty basic feature anywhere you go.  Oh well.

I guess I'll have to try and get used to the new GINORMOUS and colored font, too.  *sigh*   My poor little eyeballs.   hehe
