    If you click on a users name and look at their public profile you can add them to your ignore list.

    hex - what does that actually mean? Would it mean that you cant thank by mistake or not see them?

    Wow, I didn't know you could do that. I just tried it, and it hides whatever the person you've ignored has posted...... coooooooollll :D

    Ah! I've obviously not done it properly. Doh!!!
