DaveH Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 One function of many messageboards is the ability to ignore users. I don't see one here. Does it just need to be turned on? Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Hey Dave. Im not sure the board has the ability to allow members to ignore specific members' posts so they arent visible - is that what youre referring to? The only ignore function available is the ability to block members from "PM'ing" you... Quote Link to comment

I will have to poke around on a couple of the other boards to see. But if it isn't available with this one, that's cool. Just curious. Quote Link to comment
slacker Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 Didn't realize my posts bothered you so much Dave No really, why would you want to ignore certain posts on a message board? I could understand ignore in chat rooms and instant messenger but message boards? It seem if you ignored certain posts in a thread you would be missing the point of the discussion in the thread? Just curious... Quote Link to comment

DaveH Posted May 12, 2005 Author Share Posted May 12, 2005 Any updates that we could look into for the board? Quote Link to comment
slacker Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Want to update the board? I yahooed and it looks like Ignore is a feature of Invision Power Board v.2.1. Wonder if there's a mod for older boards? Don't take my word for it on this, I am often wrong. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 I agree this thing could use an overhaul. The reason we havent upgraded to the latest version is b/c IB decided to begin charging REAL money for their licenses, and since there are other alternatives available which are free, I decided that money would be better used for stuff like member contests/rewards, hosting etc. Regardless, we will either be sucking it up and purchasing the license for IB, or pursuing a transfer to another board in the coming months. Right now Im leaning towards the former. The only other board Im aware of which is php MySQL based with comparable features and also free is phpbb.com. Anyone aware of other alternatives let me know.

DJR313 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Any recent changes that would allow for an ignore function to be implemented? Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 We're looking in to upgrading the board software - and most of the packages include an ignore function. 'Course, it won't do any good unless people use it, but still... No definite time as to when it will happen, but it's in the plans. Quote Link to comment

StuckinChicago Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Yeah, if everyone put former and Bernard on ignore, the board could be super cool, and I could rest easy knowing that they are talking to themselves in a little room... alone Quote Link to comment

AR Husker Fan Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 NO! dont go to phpbb or whatever the hell it is.. that sucks. ***SNIP*** I don't understand - this board is a PHP-based board. Can you detail some of the issues with other software that you don't want, and why? That would help us in deciding which software package to select. Quote Link to comment
