Forum Software Updates and Questions

What I dislike about this forum is that you have the ignore button, but you can't read which users have ignored who. I'm really curious to understand which person was so unbearable to be ignored.

It's nobody's business but the person who added them to ignore, . I have nine posters on my ignore list, and I'd say that only one of them doesn't deserve it, but they're on it because their very particular writing style is so irritating to me that it's better that I just don't see their posts unless I have to.

I don't know how the ignore function works here (does it hide posts but you can still read them? Does it simply hide them without any possibility to read? Is every reference to the user removed in messages?), but If I knew you didn't want to read my post, I wouldn't post in your topics, so it would be less wasted time for me (the writer) and for you (that hate my post). That's why according to me it should be known who you are ignoring.

By the way, I think I would put on ignore only one person in this forum. 9 is a lot

It's been a many year process. I think about 4 or 5 of them are either inactive or at least no longer posting. On another forum I frequent using this same forum software, the list is over 50, so you know, it's pretty good over here. I believe I just mentioned on the last page that I don't have the patience to deal with morons on a regular basis, .

It reduces one's posts to a button that says "you have this person on ignore - view post anyway?" which you can click to then view. Funnily, the one place that I'll almost always view posts of people I've ignored is my own threads, because they may have something specifically relevant to me that I need to read, whereas in other places, that's much less likely to be the case.

This is something new:

We recently added a password-protected forum for testing of The Crucible. I'm looking into ways to exclude it from the activity feed if you don't have the password.

Oh that would be nice! (to  not have unread post in a section that's not reachable)

Now I got this:

Someone told me "I'm afraid that's the exceptionally dumb option we have to go with."

That can be blocked with a uBlock Origin filter:

password is "Improved Anvil" in case somebody doesn't know already.
