Filtering unwanted content and messages


JohnD

Recommended Posts

At times, it may be advantageous to filter the posts and content from an individual poster - rather than watch your blood pressure rise. The forum provides an easy way to do that - for posts and private messages/conversations, using the "Ignore User" feature.

To 'ignore' an individual, select the "My Settings" button at the top right of the forum page ... then select the "Profile" tab.

Simply add the User's name and select what type of content you'd like to ignore .... PM conversations and/or Posts in the forum. Press "Save Changes" and the user will be added to your list of Ignored Users.

If an 'ignored user' attempts to send you a PM, he/she will receive an error message - indicating that the message failed, due to the block.

To remove the user from the Ignore User list, simply click on the "Remove" link associated with that user in the "Manage your ignored users" list.

Hope this helps.

P.S. Note to Jeff .... The use of your name in this tutorial is purely coincidence. Or is it? devil.gif

Lot easier than trying to ignore him in person.... he's too dang tall. :tongue:

Don't remember having the post/PM option in the past but dind't have a need for the PM part. Thanks for the refresher training (that's what we call it).
