Just curious as to what the 'ignore' button does. We had a similar thing on ATS yonks ago. I never did use it though. Does it prevent someone seeing one's post and vice versa?

Hiya midicon,
For the sake of science, I tried it with you. After adding you to my ignore list, here are the results: - I can see your thread titles in the forum listings; - Clicking on the thread brings up this notice... So, it blocks me from seeing, willingly or inadvertently, your threads. - Whilst you were on ignore, I couldn't see your posts in other threads, but there is the override option to "show this post"... Finally, it looks like I wouldn't be able to receive direct messages from you, as stated in the ignore list control panel... Quote:To ignore posts and private messages from specific users, enter their username below. The only thing I don't know is if you are made aware of my actions. Can you let us know if you received a notification that you were added (and later removed) from my ignore list? If not, then I assume that my threads and posts would not be blocked for you automatically. I think you would have to ignore me purposefully.

I have received no notification though. I wonder if you can see this reply. ETA...just re-read your post and you took me off the ignore list. I was curious about that. It might be then that you could be on someone's ignore list and you wouldn't know and they wouldn't see your posts. I was just curious. I would never ignore anyone lol.

Ok, no problem.
Yes, I removed you from my ignore list as soon as I did the test, so I didn't really give you time to see if the action is automatically reciprocal. However, you confirm that you didn't receive a specific notification, so I think my actions are kept private - for my eyes only.

Your thread just happened to be the first I came across in which midicon had replied. (08-21-2024, 09:10 AM)KKLoco Wrote: Where is this icon? I don’t see it. You need to click on the member's name to bring up their profile. The red "Add to ignore list" button is in the top right-hand corner of the profile page. To see the status of your buddy/ignore list then go to your own profile's user panel and click buddy/ignore list in the left-hand column.

Where is this mysterious 'ignore' button?
Not that I plan on using it. Just curious. I don't see it.
