Question

[Johnny nocash]

Question to mods;
On other forums you can select to 'ignore' certain members/comments etc so you don't have to read the bollox. Is there a facility on AoS to 'ignore' some threads?
Cheers

You can choose to 'Ignore User' if you go their Profile (click on their username > View Profile), you'll see the option on the left under their Avatar.
You can't ignore whole threads, AFAIK.

Hi Richard,

I see that Nick's answered your question. However, I'd be curious to know what the "bollox" in question is and/or whom it is you wish to ignore?

In terms of the latter, if it's a personal matter, then fair enough, but if someone's being unpleasant to you, or in terms of the "bollox", you're reading stuff here that you really dislike and/or find upsetting, then we should know about it, so we can try and do something to fix it.

I've always been a great believer in tackling problems head on, rather than simply applying a sticking plaster, and using the ignore function is unfortunately an example of the latter.

Marco.

Thanks for the replies gents, fortunately it's nothing serious at all. I'm certainly not bothered by any individuals, it's a good vibe on here. It's certain threads which are contributed to everyday, (which suggests they are popular) but I find .... err... tedious. I just wondered if there was a setting to use so they didn't appear on my screen but Nicks already answered that. Maybe bollox was too strong a word (a vino too many maybe) & I'll have to continue with the gargantuan task of scrolling threw 'em
No probs.

I know Marco's not a fan, and I couldn't use it all the time but I use Tapatalk on my my mobile now to scan through the unread threads, and then its a simple task to mark the one's I'm not interested as read, but leave the ones I want to read, and then go back to my PC and hit "New Posts" and voila, only the ones I want to read. But of course they'll come back again once we post more bollox!

Or it could be the 2WD..... or even the 1WD! Seriously, what is the value of these three threads?

3wd... views...1,702,697. seems popular

A lighthearted giggle for those who enjoy posting on them? Seems so. The fact is, no-one's forcing anyone to post on the those threads [or indeed read them], so if folks decide not to use them, then they'll naturally die a death. No sign of that so far, so that suggests they still fulfil a purpose for some
