Ignoring threads.

When I'm browsing the forums I normally only click the 'new posts' button rather than looking up specific forums and threads. This, however, presents its own problems in that it includes threads I have no interest in which have been posted in since my last visit. For instance, the popular music quiz keeps popping up - I know you can put posters on ignore, but is it possible to put threads on ignore too?

I'm not, this is my favourite thread - I've marked it down as a favourite so I get an email every time someone posts on it.

It's a got point that Ant makes. I've had a look in the admin area, and I can't see any way of ignoring a thread. Hopefully the facility will be available in new Exeweb.

Ooooh, new Exeweb. Tell us more.

Anyway, back to OP. I just click on Forum and ignore any thread that doesn't interest me.

Yes, that's you. Of course I can not click a thread if I don't want to view it, but I'd prefer it if I didn't have to see it there at all. It's not a deal breaker, just a preference and I was wondering whether there was an option to do this at all. Perhaps as Hants says it'll be an option in the new site.

Never done this before
It's pretty simple to do.

*puts 'Ignoring threads' thread on ignore*

It'll look like old Exeweb but will be new. Hope that helps.

Fascinating...:)

Ponders on how many old threads will be lost :S
