For me, I don't want to know what they are saying, that's the point of ignore. BUT I don't like how I won't read the post of the person quoting the ignored, because I won't know what they are referring to. To do that I have to read the "blocked" post now visible, because it was quoted.

A member I miss who hasn't been on here in months once said not to take people's posts that seriously. Hard to do a lot of times.

I can't win.

Its a hard thing to "win" tbh, for me if I see his posts and if he was to say anything nasty about me, I'd likely get triggered (so I scroll past his posts without reading them at all) cause someone saying something nasty doesn't feel good - I think everyone can understand how being on the recieving end of something nasty does not feel good, but if I was to have him on ignored I'd get paranoid over whether he's saying anything horrible, like if he was to say that I remote controlled the brain cancers to get into Ebony's brain and into her chest and tummy (for all I know he might be posting stuff like that, I have no idea nowadays) so I'd have to open his posts to make sure he wasn't saying anything about Ebony

idk i forgot what I'm saying now, my brain's too scrambled, idk if this even makes sense

edited to say if i can: I do know though that the message that comes up (on any forum) that starts off saying the post is held back to get checked by a moderator or something, I do know from experience that message starts to say horrible things after a while about how Ebony died, its done it before every time i been put in it on any forum, then I don't get listened to over it saying cruel stuff like that and just get told that I'm making it up, or "no its not saying that, end of discussion" idk i can't win with that either cause if I freak out and become seriously unwell it says it even more, but if I don't post I don't get out of it

if it gets put on me here, it'll either say cruel stuff about Ebony like everywhere else has, or it'll say Tigger has asthma (she might have, she's seeing the vet next week) and then say that Tigger's asthma will turn into a cancers cause Ebony got a cancers and the vet thought it was her asthma until he had her in to see what was going on when the steroids failed her, with hindsite I'm wondering now if the steroids made the cancers get hold a lot faster, or maybe asthma turns into cancers idk

i might be off topic now idk i don't have a brain today

I think it’s also important to remember that many times being put on ignore isn’t personal, sometimes it can be because a member finds certain posts/topics triggering to them, rather than a member doing anything wrong.

[DocJohn]

Just a reminder, this is a thread about the new ignore manager feature. Please don’t take this thread off-topic. We have the ignore feature for people’s own self-care. It does not mean anything ‘bad’ if they place another member on ignore and we shouldn’t try and read into other people’s intentions. Thank you.

Okay well then.....The Ignore Thread feature doesn't work on the Christmas thread on the top of the screen, above the link about BetterHelp. It only works in the forums. I noticed it closed in the forums.

(Sorry Trav, if you're reading this but I had to speak up, let the chips fall where they may. I'm counting the days until it's over and I know I speak for others on here.)

I'd assume this would happen for any other thread that happens, for whatever reason, to end up at the top of the screen. And it appears on EVERY screen, no matter what.

[DocJohn]

Why can’t you click on the “X” that closes the announcement?

I don’t know if settings have changed but I was able to go into thread tools on the thread you mention and put it on ignore and it’s not appearing at the top of my page now.

Yes you can click the cross to the right without going into the thread to ignore it and it’ll disappear but unfortunately it doesn’t seem to hold as soon as the page is refreshed when browsing it reappears so that’s not a good fix. Putting it on ignore seems to have solved it.

I think it’s a good point Owl because we know how triggering a time of year this is to so many, again no disrespect to the thread starter, everyone’s needs are different.

THANK YOU for saying this, as that X either WAS NOT THERE AT THE TIME I LOOKED ON DECEMBER 15th, 2023 @5:50 pm or it was so far to the upper right corner and so tiny that it wasn't even noticeable enough. That part of the screen already is crowded with links that nothing stands out. It's already on ignore for me, but thanks for warning me it could still reappear when closing it, just like an ad.

Oh, I KNOW this is triggering for some people. It's the only thing I'm certain of other than death and taxes. I know people both in real life and online who are counting the days.......or hours.

[felineangel]

I think I just broke ignored thing, it won't let me put someone I previously had, back on my list, its just not loading the page when I put the name in and click okay

idk if its me being stupid or what

i'm on the laptop, although I am running youtube so it might be internets idk

I never thought about :hug that being a possibility

So if I have someone on ignore & can't see their posts or threads but they don't have me on ignore.....can they see my posts & threads?

Yes they can. Ignore feature only works one way unless both have each other on ignore

Before one couldn't reply to their post if they had you on ignore.....just wondering what the point of them seeing those posts if you can't reply to them & not know you are on their ignore until you try to reply?

True but we don’t reply to every post anyways, it’s ok to read or not read it as you don’t have to look at their posts after you discovered they have you on ignore.

I feel like I'm asking a question that may be late as of now, but here it goes. For an example - I put someone on my ignore list (in which I followed the directions), but yet I still see them if they are the first to post on a forum and on a thread. Just seeing their avatar and name triggers me enough as it is. Can something be done about that?

I figure, if someone is on my ignore list, I shouldn't be able to see anything of them. Thanks.

I don’t see anything of people on ignore. Maybe I just don’t pay attention

I miss the old way, when I could see they posted in a thread but I got the message, "This is hidden because _____ is on your ignore list". Triggering, BUT I was ready, bracing myself in case someone quoted them. Then the posts are plain as day.

Yeah, you can still see that someone posted in a thread in the forums (on the main screen with a list of threads for that forum), I know what you mean. But if you open that thread, you won't see the post---unless someone quotes them.

As usual, I agree with you.

One doesn't know if they are on ignore unless you try to post in a thread someone started. But they can see your posts, and as far as I know, if they quote you to reply, you won't see it because they are on ignore.

But I haven't had this happen yet or not the opportunity yet.

I agree that anyone on ignore should be completely invisible, not even able to hug or thank you, but I'm getting the conclusion this can't be done.

If you are on the forum page (when you first open the forum, where all the lists of different bits of the forum are listed, when you first open the site) it does say the username if the member on ignored was the last person to post in a section

so it'll say the section name (relationships, for example) and it'll show the last thread that got posted in, then it'll say a username

idk if i'm making sense

[felineangel]

this is what I mean if it works

So imagine if I had the names that show on ignored (I don't) but if I did, I could still see them.

Always put them on ignore so I never bothered. Just wondered how this new update handled it

[Discombobulated]

Okay so I put the Christmas Gathering thread on ignore and it stopped appearing at the top of the page. Yet today it’s reappeared at the top of every page.

I went into the thread and looked under thread options and I had an option to un-ignore the thread, so I definitely still had it on ignore it just isn’t working all of a sudden. For info the cross to click it closed isn’t there today either.

It looks like a glitch.

I noticed this too. And I LOOKED very carefully for an "X", even putting my nose inches from the screen and it is NOT there.

Thankfully this will be over in 5 days but until then it is triggering for many people for this type of site.
