"Ignore this thread"

[dick dastardly]

Just noticed this in My Contributions. What does it do to the thread, just stop you seeing new posts or the entire thread?

[southpaw]

It just removes it from your "My Stuff/My contributions" list. So if you replied to a thread but don't want to see it listed on that page you can remove it.

[dick dastardly]

I see. I jsut tested it and you're right.

Always wanted one of those..!

Clever . . . since yesterday . . .

10/10 Pefect for when certain threads get 'out of hand'. I have been wanting this for ages.

[lightningghost]

Yeah, a great addition. Cheers, Ted.

Excellent - also useful would be a "subscribe to" without having to post - or is it there already and I have missed it?

Nope, don't think there is. That is a good idea though.


Oh, you can just bookmark it. But a 'subscribe to' sounds like a better idea to me.

Bookmarks would do it but I can see your point.

[dinkel]

I use 'bookmark' as a library-function, full of interesting topics, or my own stuff.

I subscribe by simply posting a smiley or a line to announce I'm interested and looking forward to pics. Tunnel Runs, meetings, etc.

doesn't appear to remove threads previously marked as "watch this" ?

[PetrolTed]

Think I accidentally broke that ignore function. Just reinstating it now.

Pressing the ignore button, does nothing in my browser, I can still see the topic??

Likewise, pressing the watch button does not make anything look any different

Just fixing the ignore now.

The watch button will add a thread that you've not participated in to your 'My Topics' page.

[Mrs Fish]

It adds it to the topics/replies page, but not the 'my topics' page... or did you mean the former?

[PetrolTed]

Sorry, that's what I meant.

I could do with relabelling that tab perhaps.

[Mrs Fish]

all makes sense now
