My guess is that they had to modify it to support the threaded view

I bet the majority of issues are related to the changes they had to make to support threaded view Originally Posted by VTGolfer

If you look at it in linear mode, it does work that way. Here's a pic of linear mode, where I have added "Wandering Hokie" and "public knowledge" to my ignore list, to show you what it does: Originally Posted by PhotoHokieNC

It gets back to what I said about vBulletin operating better in its native topic/linear format. Using it in threaded mode, with an after-market threaded mode plugin, causes it to "fudge" and not operate optimally.Always use "Reply With Quote", so everyone knows to whom you're responding.

Actually it doesn't work that way, if "that way" is the total invisibility apparently achievable in that vBulletin link. Not to beat the dead horse of "previous boards format", but a poster selected for ignoring does not disappear completely, just that poster's post content. Originally Posted by Will Stewart

Or, more likely, I misunderstood what that manual said. Originally Posted by PhotoHokieNC

Could be. The manual says "Posts from users that you are ignoring are hidden from view when logged into the forums." Originally Posted by PhotoHokieNC

Ooops, Eric Cartman Syndrome.

Well, whoever you are, that pretty much ends the discussion. Rather than use any board "ignore" feature, I'll just poke my eyes out. Originally Posted by Will Stewart
