    I do use it when I've opened a post if I decide it's not for me after further reading, but sometimes you can tell that just from the title!
    Ideally it would be good to have it both places, but maybe it's too hard for MSE to code?

    I agree with this too. There are loads of comps for tickets to things that I don't want to enter but I don't want to go into each individual post to click the "x" button so having it on the main board would be very useful.

    I also would like this too.
  • This would be a huge time saver and help my OCD as every comp HAS to have a tick or cross :)

    I tend to use the x for things that I would normally want to enter but when I read the post something in it that stops me, like facebook like & shares - If i can tell by the title eg its for x-factor tickets then I don't need a red cross to tell me to ignore it

    I was trying to do some month end comps the other day, did some on one day and some the following. It was hard to remember where I got to, if there had been a string of 'xs' it would have made it easier.

    If I want to mark where I have got to I use both the tick and the cross together as a marking point.

  • I agreed initially, but then remembered I'd still have to click into the thread to "thank" and can't really see a way around that?
