Remember I asked for a way to ignore a thread instead of ignoring a user? I knew it had been asked for previously, but I couldn't remember who, when and where. Thanks for assisting my memory and for raising the idea in the first place. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

I'm not totally sold on this one, but I could be persuaded. Let me know what you guys think. Hmmm... Funny, I never had a problem ignoring threads, for whatever reason, using the old fashioned way, involving eyes, mental discrimination, and fingers. No high-tech gizmos needed. But if it really is all about the tech... nevermind... richard kimber and Teresa 2 Link to comment

I see your point, but it seems to me the old 'Unread Posts' lists had exactly the same problem (edit) And, if you think a bit broader about limiting our input, in this day and age, aren't we already too isolated in our own individual information bubbles and silo's ?

I would love the custom activity stream to be more granular and enable users to specific specific forums to exclude. So far this isn't possible natively or via plugin.

So far this isn't possible natively or via plugin. Custom streams allow, at least in some cases, to pick which forums to include. Selecting all except a few is a bit clunky. Speaking of custom streams, it would be neat if one could add quick links to more than one in some convenient location. Selecting a custom stream in the mobile interface takes 4 taps through the menus, which gets tedious quickly. Link to comment

rickca Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 If I put a user's posts on ignore, I still see their posts listed in the activity stream but it says 'you have chosen to ignore content by xxx'. Is there a way to eliminate these posts entirely from the activity stream?

Is there a way to eliminate these posts entirely from the activity stream? When you click 'Ignore' on a user, you need to look/scroll down to check any of 4 boxes, to ignore specific kinds of the users content, posts, messages, signature (?). They are hard to see, and I missed them at first and ran into the same problem you now see. The solution to that is to go to your user name in the upper right corner, drop it down, and select 'Ignored Users', there you can access and update all the boxes for all the unmentionable members you've placed there Too bad the initial 'Ignore' action doesn't default to, at least, a check in the 'Posts' box...

Some threads take control of this stream because they are so active. This would be the only way to ignore such activity. How about giving frequent offenders 30 day "timeouts" more often? There is a pretty small group responsible for most of the thread derailing here and they are ironically seldom the folks who offer new or useful information. Their posts often inspire others to chime in thinking this behavior is OK and turn off users who are looking for useful information. rickca and Daudio 2 "Don't Believe Everything You Think" System Link to comment

Ultrarunner Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Is there a way to reduce the 10 to 15 second delay after going back from a thread to the main Activity feed on an iPad? This forum used to be so great with the iPad app. But I hesitate to click on most threads since I know it's going to be a long wait before I can continue scrolling through the Activity feed. I'm on an iPad Pro if that makes a difference. SonicTransporter i9 > EtherRegen (optical out) > LUMIN P1 > LUMIN Amp > YG Kipod Signature Passive speakers. Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 This is strange. I'm getting about a 4 second load time when doing the same thing. I don't know what's causing your experience to be much much worse. I'll see if I can figure it out on my iPad Air 2. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted June 17, 2017 Author Share Posted June 17, 2017 Using the Chrome browser on my iPad it's about 4 seconds. Using Safari the delay is about 1 second. Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
Popular Post gmgraves Posted June 17, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 17, 2017 Chris. I miss the numbers on the responses. For instance if I wanted to respond to post number 242, the old system had that and I used to use it a lot. Any way we can re-introduce it? Also I have mentioned this before and never received an answer. The old system used to remember your text as you wrote it. If one accidentally got knocked off the page by a computer glitch or one's own stupidity, when you went back to the forum you were posting to, and went to start over answering the post you were responding to when you were interrupted, the system asked you if you wanted to retrieve the text you previously wrote. Nowadays, if that happens you have to start all over again and if you had written a lot, it's heartbreaking to realize that all of it was lost. Any way to get THAT feature back?
