Ignore list problem

**Syne** · Sep 27, 2016 07:42 PM

When you put another member on your ignore list, it hides their posts. The problem is that it also hides all following posts on that page, including your own and those of any other member not on your ignore list.

This makes this self-moderating feature pretty useless, IMO, since ignoring one member means missing half the posts on the forum. To see most posts in any thread the ignored member posts to, I have to show their posts anyway...which defeats the purpose of an ignore list.

I would love if this feature worked as expected...but no hurry...willpower will suffice.

I will have a look at this to see what's going wrong and if it's fixable.

I have never used the ignore feature on any forum. It teaches patience in skimming past posts that are tempting to reply to in the negative. Besides, I am interested in learning how other members endeavor to respond and communicate to perhaps improve my own skills.

Thanks.

Unrelated, but is there any way to get indent formatting in posts?

I fixed the template bug (a missing </div>) so ignoring should function correctly now.

As for indenting I'll have a quick play about and see what I can come up with (I don't think a sitewide implimentation would be a good idea, so it would be best to have a mycode/bbcode)

Yeah, mycode/bbcode would be good. [ind][/ind] or something similar.

Just checked, and ignore is working well now. Thanks.

Okay I've just created an indent code for you:

Code:
[ind=1]This is a 1em indent[/ind]

[ind=2]This is a 2em indent[/ind]

[ind=3]This is a 3em indent[/ind]

[ind=9]This is a 9em indent[/ind]

This is a 1em indent

This is a 2em indent

This is a 3em indent

This is a 9em indent

This is set to use only em's, the range is between 1 and 9. (Any other values won't parse) I doubt you'd need an indent higher than that, if you do though don't hesitate to mention so.

That works.

Thanks.

If [ind] defaulted to 1 and [ind=1] just increments from there, it would work like people may be use to using elsewhere. But ofc that's your prerogative.

Actually, people are probably more use to nested [ind], but your method is shorter.

I thought indent was working right...

...but now it only appears
to be tabbing the first line.

I tried it once on Sciforums. But the individual I wanted to ignore was a moderator and the software told me that I wasn't allowed to ignore moderators. So I decided that I would just ignore posts on my own by simple willpower.
