Ignore list

Options
Why can I see threads started by users on my ignore list? If I ignore them I don't want to see anything they post.

Doesn't it defeat the whole purpose of an ignore list if you can see the new threads they start?

    Have you checked that your ignore list has not been reset?
    This has happened before on this new platform.

    It may just be me but has the report button moved from the right hand side along to be beside the thanks button?
    I am sure it used to be on the far right.

    It's someone who recently went on the list and still shows as being on the ignore list. I'm not the only one with this issue either others have reported the same issue/

    Happens to me too. Put people on ignore, yet because I access this site on my phone I still have the (dis) pleasure of seeing the posts.

    You can also see their posts if someone quotes them. I don't want their clutter to be visible at all. It needs sorting out.

    Agreed. I only have 1 person in my ignore list (Her Ladyship) ... the forum is so peaceful now that I can't see her posts (after she returned from her 2 week enforced hiatus) but it is annoying to see her posts quoted.

    Yes, I have the same person on my ignore list (and it's something I seldom do) and her posts are still popping up with frustrating frequency.
    It's not difficult!
    'Wander' - to walk or move in a leisurely manner.
    'Wonder' - to feel curious.
  • That's what I mean, on a phone I can 'ignore people' but still have the 'pleasure' of reading the posts due to the function not working. It makes no sense. Puts me off reading certain sections and being able to help offer opinions and support, like I've had since joining.

    Just to echo the OP ... I have the same issue.
