Just out of interest how would I know A-T had replied if they were on my ignore list, how does it work?

A-T, you are on my ignore list. There is no point replying to me.

You have tried to pick an argument because I said that what you wrote implied something and you have continued to insist that I show you where you said something. You have become increasingly aggressive over it, even though I have shown you exactly what I said, which was that this was an implication of what you said. I don't like your attitude.

In your previous post you conflated two issues. If I am wrong then I will admit that I am. A search of my post history will reveal several instances where I have done so. I am now ignoring you, not because I can't admit that I am sometimes wrong, but because I find you to be overly aggressive and determined to pick a fight. The very fact that you felt it necessary to reply after I had said you were on my ignore list just demonstrates that you have to have the last word and you can't let things go.

I'll say it one more time, just so we are clear: I don't like your attitude and you are on my ignore list.

I never implied anything that you suggest I did. And you have completely failed to show where I did despite being asked to several times.

As said before don't misrepresent posters then expect not to be taken to task over it.

A-T, you are still replying to me, but as I keep pointing out, you are on my ignore list, so I don't see what you post! This all adds to my view that you just have to have the last word.

I wait with baited breath for the next post that says, "This message is hidden because A_T is on your ignore list."

I really like Vanguard, you can buy / sell their own products at close prices for free, or during the day on shares for a small fee.

It's so easy to use and I'm a complete novice but doing really well.

One thing I've noticed though, if you don't pay regular amounts in, if you wait instead for the right price to buy and wait to long, it automaticallym sells and does a buy, and then emails you telling you have 3 lives left or something. So I just make a small regular payment to LS20 which is the lowest risk.

I've not looked at how to buy / sell FX here , don't know if its possible

Bingo! It took you 11 minutes!

Because the existence of the posting is indicated on the thread, with a note saying "xxxxxx is on your ignore list".

A-T, you are still replying to me, but as I keep pointing out, you are on my ignore list, so I don't see what you post!

What I don't understand is that if you have someone on your ignore list then you don't get to see to see response. The only way that I know to actually see the response and to know they have responded to you is to remove them from the ignore list.

This appears to be a limitation of the system, unless I am wrong?

In addition the OP mentioned customer service, I've never had a problem getting hold of Vanguard on the phone, they stayed on the line and walked through a few scenarios with me , explained in detail how transaction timing works regarding deals made overnight and during the day.

The only downside I can see is there's no app, getting access to the current prices and making a deal quickly is a bit of a faff on a phone. Also I can't see any way of setting buy/sell alerts /thresholds - does anyone know a similar platform with these features

The system works as intended. If you don't want to see someone's posts because they are obnoxious or a spammer or you just don't like what they have to say, you flag them to be ignored - then whenever they write anything the system knows you don't want to see it, so in the gap between other people's posts, it replaces the ignored person's post with a line of text saying there would have been a post here but you're ignoring its author. So you don't have to scroll past several paragraphs of text that you don't want to read, but the post numbering of everyone else's posts keeps its integrity. You'll only see the ignored person's words if someone who's not ignored, quotes them in their own not-ignored posts.

However, Valiant keeps engaging with A_T and writing posts to him saying "remember, I'm ignoring you" and then seeing there are some later posts from A_T, and replying "hey, you're still replying to me". If he's genuinely got the ignore function on, he won't of course know whether A_T is replying to him, or replying to me, or posting some new content which isn't a reply to anything specific. Unless he goes back to his control panel and temporarily un-ignores A_T then comes back to the thread to see what was said.

The fact that he is saying 'stop replying to me, I can't see it' implies that a) he hasn't really ignored him at all; or b) he has ignored him but doesn't want to miss out so keeps unignoring him; or c) he has genuinely marked him on ignore but is so egotistical that when he can see thaht A_T has contributed something to the thread he assumes it must be addressed to him, and feels compelled to write another post to tell that other poster not to keep talking to him because "la la la I'm not listening"

It does rather seem, that when you can't even see that someone has said anything on the thread directed at you (because you have had the system redact the contents of their post), but just in case it was something directed at you, you still keep telling them and the world that they are ignored and should not say anything more on this thread - it is YOU who are trying to have the last word, like a five year old rather than a grown adult. You have electronically censored what the other person has said so that you don't even know if they are talking to you, but just in case they are talking to you, if you observe they've written a post you will say 'stop trying to get the last word', thereby grabbing the last word for yourself.

It's somewhat amusing to see someone throw a tantrum like this. Can I go on the ignore list too please?
