My ignored list seems to refuse to work on my phone (chrome), on laptop (chrome again) it works fine

If i go into my ignored list, anyone i have in their shows on laptop and phone, on laptop it hides posts like its supposed to, but on phone i can see the ignored posts without clicking on anything

Dont understand what im doing wrong on phone

Not sure if its the age of this phone or what, its about 2 and a half years old now i think

Its getting me stressed in case i react by instinct to something, then end up (rightly) getting a scary message, starting to panic now over the imagination message that i know would come if i did react

Idk if this even makes sense, alter corrupt hates me

Edited to address: if it is my phone the feel free to say "felineangel its your phone, cause its so old it was roaming around looking for the internets when the dinosaurs were around" cause it could easily be this phone

Dinosaurs probably didnt have internets idk

My understanding is the ignore feature doesn’t work on the Tapatalk app, so if that’s how you access MSF on your phone, you might switch to accessing through a browser instead so the feature works.

idk what the taptalk app is, i don't think its on my phone

idk how to find out

phone's on charge at the moment, so i'm on the laptop

one thing I do know: laptops are not portable enough to go into work with, which is why I have to use my phone when at work

having to type round a scared Willow cat now cause its halloween so i might not make sense

I guess I might have a misunderstanding on how the Ignore List works. I have a laptop. I thought that when you pick someone to ignore, you won't see anything of them, which is what I want. I picked someone on my ignore list, but as it turned out, I can see the poster when I go on the forum. But if I click on to what that person would say, then I can't see what they posted.

If I choose to ignore someone personally, then I don't want to see them entirely. That's what I thought would happen. I don't know why I should bother with the ignore list when it turns out like that. Or is there something wrong with they way my laptop is working in connection to this site?

Nope, that's the way the Ignore List works, for better or worse. You can see that an Ignored person has posted, but you can't see *what* they posted.

It's not meant to be absolute and wasn't designed that way. We'll see if we can increase the functionality of this feature to make it more comprehensive...

That's what I thought too, but it's certainly not a catch all, if that's the phrase. You won't see the post, UNLESS someone quotes them! Then it's plain as day. They can still also hug/thank you. They are not supposed to be able to send private or visitor messages either.

My guess on the post appearing in a quote is because they are not the original poster; the person quoting them is.

FelineAngel, Tapatalk is an app one installs that has thousands of forums, including this one. The advantage is that it makes posting in the forums more user friendly on such a tiny screen. But the ignore feature doesn't work and you can't "hug" someone either. Also, you can't see visitor messages or friend requests, just forums and pm's.

If using the browser, my understanding is that one has to pick a certain theme for it to be user friendly on the phone. Since I don't want to change my theme, I don't do that. I have an iPhone. I've gotten more proficient using the browser for this site instead of Tapatalk. The latter can be so slow to load.

ok thanks docjohn, with my phone its not just showing the username, for some reason its always showed the whole post, what I have to do on my phone is just scroll past the post without reading it like I do on failbook I mean facebook

not sure if that's a good way of not reacting to posts, pretend I don't see them and just don't read them, when ignored list decides it doesn't want to work (on my "smart"phone) - please feel free to say if that's not a way of dealing with ignored posts that show up, its just a way I find works for me

idk if this makes sense

Does it install itself, or do we have to install it manually by going onto the play app store or whatever it's called? I forget

Been awake since 4am though so I might not be making sense, poor Willow was being reactive to something, so as a result I can't really figure stuff out for myself today

I don't know why you see the whole post, unless someone is quoting them. In that case, one has to scroll by and avert their eyes. Pain...

I went to the app store and searched Tapatalk, then installed it a couple of years ago. They have a subscription version or something, where you pay for no ads. I just installed that because at the time, I wasn't as good as using the browser on the phone. I'm better now but it's still easier on a computer. I don't have one but am borrowing one from the library a few more weeks.

Also beware Tapatalk is very slow, has tons of ads (some of them have annoying loud sound effects too), and will give notifications on stuff I don't want even though it's turned OFF.
