If you can't PM someone that is necessary (though not sufficient) for their having placed you on ignore.

So If you can PM someone then you know you aren't on ignore.

Just because you cant PM someone doesnt mean they have you on ignore. They may have their PMs off

Click on their name over to the left <------

It should tell you whether they are accepting PM's or not.

If they are and yours won't go through, then you are probably "on ignore."

If X puts Y on ignore, the only way Y is going to know is if Y tries to PM X and if they're not "friends" that's not likely to happen? I only PM with friends so I wouldn't know if I were on ignore by someone else. There's no way to know that someone isn't reading your posts or anything. It's not meant to be intrusive or a "punishment" to the person being ignored or anything like that but a help to the person who needs to ignore another person for awhile to feel better/safer. It doesn't really/isn't meant to affect the person being ignored I don't think.

Right. I think technically one could find out, with a bit of work on one's part by PMing someone and not getting an answer/get it "rejected" (don't know if it gets returned or one gets a message that it wasn't accepted or if it just gets "lost" in cyberspace :-) but since it's a feature for the person doing the ignoring not the one being ignored, I'd say the majority of time the one being ignored wouldn't know; there's no way to know who's reading one's posts anyway and they just don't "show up" for the person who has them on ignore so the person whose posts they were would have no idea?

I had set my posts so I only saw those which had been posted during the previous week and I got frustrated because I wanted to go back further in one forum and couldn't remember how I did it :-) Took awhile to get so I could "see" at least a month's worth of posts. I think it's kind of like that; the person's posts and/or PM's are "there" but don't show up because of an individual's settings.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
