Go to "My Profile" Look at the left side "Settings and Options" Choose "Edit Ignore list" and enter the name of the member(s) you wish to not see on the forums.
Thanks for this!

Remember you will still see that they have posted, just not what they have posted.

I know this can be a difficult thing to get through sometimes. But, I do have to say, from experience way back when, the longer I went without reading someone's posting, the easier it got to pass over them without that strong inclination to take them off ignore. Practice and time helps!
Thanks for this!

The thing is i think its easier to not read their post in the forum, but what i dont understand is why the person that you blocked still can wrote on your visitor message?
because for me once i put someone on my ignore list its mean i dont want anything to do with them anymore, and if they wrote something on your page its really hard to not open the message and i think its useless to put them on ignore list since they still can see your activities here and give their comment *sigh*

If you "ignore" a person, you don't have anything to do with that person but their free choice of whether to have anything to do with you is still there. They do not know if you have ignored them, that's for your purposes, not theirs. If I did not want to hear/see someone's posts I'd send them a polite PM and ask them not to comment on my threads or page, wait a bit to see if I got a reply, and then I would ignore them. You cannot blame a person for posting on your page after you have ignored them; they don't know; you are the one with a problem with them, they may not have a problem with you.

There is! You don't have to read their stuff. Though I do think as you have stated, it's just easier to skip their stuff not go through ignoring them if then you are going to notice they posted and want to read it. Can't have it both ways :-)

When i Ignore someone and notice they posted on my profile page, I just delete the message. I just delete without reading.

What gets to me is no matter how many times I ignore someone in chat they can still read everything I write. Oh well.

It's under my profile, message and notification setting. Two boxes "limit whatever to only contacts and moderators"

Oh you changed your profile to no VM or PM messages Not very nice after posting a question on mine Admit it...you like cats
Okay...I'll catch you on skype one of these days. Got your last message. I saw you were on but I figured you were checking on family and friends in the flood.
I guess I should say something on topic? I've only blocked who I had to block. And I don't have any curiosity about what they are saying.
They are pretty predictable
Thanks for this!

A person can put someone on the ignore list. To not receive profile messages you can go to, Edit Options on the Control Panel - scroll down to Messaging and Notification and then down to Visitor Messaging. At the bottom of that box you'll see "Limit usage of Visitor Messages to Contacts and Moderators". The person you don't want visitor messaging you shouldn't be on your friend list. A person can also choose not to receive any visitor messages too.

I tend to be curious so I don't use the ignore feature but good to know its there is case someone becomes a problem.

Hi Lynn,
thanks, i do know how to do it, what i didnt know is that they still can see your profile, write you and commented on your post, all this time i thought after put someone on ignore list they are forever invisible and i was bit shocked knowing its not
but well ...

Hi puffyprue - yes your profile is still visible if someone's on the ignore list and if they're not on your contact list. They can't still write you a PM, visitor message but they could respond in a thread. If it turns out you/anyone is really bothered by a person - you/they can PM one of the administrators and they might agree to speak to that person....tell them not to respond to you or another person - but its usually a 2 way street...meaning you also agree to not respond to them in threads. There are solutions if someones being bothered, but profiles can still be seen........... but if someone's not a member, profiles can't be seen. Sorry you're struggling ATM - if you want to talk you can PM me.
