Block DDF user
« on: December 26, 2012, 05:24:26 PM »
I would like to make it that I don't see posts by certain users. Can it be done? I've definitely seen this feature on other boards in the past. Usually between 2 posts there will be a minimized post that says "Posted by a user on your ignore list. Click here to view post".

(Is there a thread for forum features? I'd have posted there but couldn't find one.)

There is one, but it is very annoying. Instead of not showing the post at all, it shows that there is a post, but it is blocked, and you can click on it to see it. Defeats the purpose IMO.

(Happens to be that the person I was blocking became less active lately, so it's a win-win...)

That's fine, sounds like what I'm looking for. Where can I find that feature?

(Happens to be 1 of the 2 people I would block has been less active lately  ;) Based on your sig line, I'd venture a guess that we're referring to the same person.)

Thanks, worked like a charm. Although I see what you mean ChAiM'l, the format is a bit annoying.

It's not about the quantity of your posts.  It's about the quality.

Why? Would you rather it not show that the post ever existed? Would make for some VERY interesting threads... :o

It definitly is annoying to unblock your post every single time I want to read what you have to say  ;D :P

No problem, mmermss. Feel free to leave it blocked. Let's see whose loss it ends up being, mine or yours... :P

Over here it appears as a regular post that you just need to unblock. The other places I've seen it had a nicer, more in-line format, in a way that you still knew there was a blocked post but was very unobtrusive.

A short line showing that there is a blocked post would suffice.

ETA: ^ you beat me to it...

Aha. Got it. Maybe pray to the Mod Gods to make it happen? :P

Or, as we say around here: paging BAHayman... ;)
