OT: How to ignore threads?

[J~Rush]

I know how to ignore users, and have made use of that. And I remember people talking about a way to ignore threads by a poster too. Does anyone have that link? Does it still work after the forum upgrade?

 

[hypnosmurf]

it's the "ffvb" firefox add on but it hasn't been working since the site upgrade

 

[THE HCP]

I'm actually quite flattered that the one you want to read, I started!

 

[blue32]

LOL J Rush, I'm in the same boat... )

In the process of adding support for vb4, and new ways to identify forums, breadcrumbs and other page information.

This thread is rude.

I'm ignoring this thread.

Their is actually a little red X at the top right of your screen, if you click on that you will ignore every thread you ever wanted.

Ha! Shows what you know. My X is white.

Your ex is racist.

How so? Seems like a legit question to ask, considering the amount of spam on the front page.

 

[DP]

This thread is rude.

I kinda laughed..

 

[julius]

Your ex is racist.

No she's not!

Don't read them, aka ignore them. Logic 101.

Kind of hard to "ignore" when it takes up the majority of the board.

He is seriously worse than Mixim.

Sad thing is tho, we all know who he is and the above theory is still true.

They are there because people are talking about them. If people weren't interested, they'd float off the page.

I don't see how a board with fewer threads and less basketball discussion would be more interesting to people.

I think it's not necessarily fewer threads, as much as fewer threads started by the same poster, that tend to not be relevant to any particular Blazer related topics.

Don't know what I want but I know how to get it.

There will necessarily be fewer threads. If half of them are Blazers- and NBA-related OT's that have been started by one poster (and which generate replies) then there will be half of the topics on the board.

More is not always better, obviously, but this board crowdsources pretty well, and the threads that are available on the first page tend to be the ones that people want to talk about.

For a long time I just didn't respond, but obviously that didn't work. Especially when there's multiple new threads per day. I don't mind a lot of basketball threads if they are actually relevant (and yeah you won't get topics that 100% fit everyone, I'm not saying that). It just gets old seeing the same garbage, which for some reason has gotten worse over the last season and even month.

Don't get me wrong; I don't think it's bad to ask how to ignore threads. I just don't think it's fair to attack KS over talking basketball.

Good catch. Thanks for the answers everyone. I'll just have to wait until the ffvb update.

Don't click on them.
