Today I was looking back over an old thread of mine and noticed they had posted (for some reason I did not notice at the time, not sure why), it did say someone on my ignore list had posted rather than show the reply but I was surprised they were able to post at all.
Is this correct or has there been a technical glitch?

when you put someone on ignore it doesnt take out the posts they wrote to any of your threads before you put them on ignore.
example using you and me to make this easier to explain...if I put you on ignore today but you wrote a post to me a week ago, it may seem to me like you posted to me even though you are on ignore when in reality you posted to me..... before..... I put you on ignore.
one thing about putting someone on ignore.. when you put someone on ignore even if they are using taptalk and end up posting in your thread, you still would not see what they posted to you because the ignore prevents.....you ...from seeing any of their posts.
my suggestion is keep track of when you put someone on ignore. that way you will know if its an old post done before you put that person on the ignore list. that way when you see a notation that they have posted in your thread you will be able to use self care by reminding yourself the post was done before you put them on ignore and that you dont get to see their post until you take them off your ignore list. if they trigger you try using self care and dont open their post. (thats what I do when I see someone on my ignore list has posted in my threads before i put them on the ignore list and Im just rereading old threads.
