Hi Ruffers


The forum down was just a bit of database optimising. The dotted lines are about the extent of the excitement I'm afraid, I was just trying to emphasise the sponsored links a bit more without it being too in yer face.


Just tried adding the ignore user module but it doesn't seem to work, apologies.

psst, don't tell anyone but if you look at someone's post, then click on the ":" in "Posted by: username...".


As pointed out by HAL9000 there is a bug (error) that occurs when you initially click the ":", the page scrolls to the top and you think 'what happened there?'.


Enjoy


[edited once]

When you click on another poster's colon (I know, I know) - ignore the page jump, it's probably a bug - however, from that point onwards that poster's posts are hidden from your view unless you override by clicking on show/hide.


The feature provides a simple way to ignore other posters? comments. I'm not sure whether you'll understand this explanation, but it doesn't really matter; I can't imagine you wanting to ignore anyone else's posts.


Suffice it to say that some members are more likely to become its subject rather than its beneficiary.

Thank you HAL9000.


But surely then, it's a hindrance because users can no longer simply scan through anymore without having to stop onto this new feature and click onto it. I mean, why would someone go on a forum like this one and not wish to scan through the posts? And why would a poster "activate" this feature on one of their posts? I would have thought that the whole point of posting was for the public to view that post. It just doesn't make sense to my pea brain.


Sorry Admin. I realise you meant well and I don't wish to appear ungrateful (honest), but I don't see the point of it.:(

Oh hang on...pea brain has just gone...."ping"!


Can this feature only be activated by the poster him/herself or can any poster choose to hide/show a particular poster's posts. In other words: if say the poster "Administrator" wished, for some inexplicable;-) reason, to avoid "Ladymuck's" posts, could "Administrator" switch off all of my posts? In which case, would my posts be hidden from view to "Administrator" only or to all and sundry?


Sorry - I'm not the brightest when it comes to computer stuff.

Good question, I've just had a look and Google Analytics does not record the ingnoreuser link as a page, but if you can tell me how to measure it e.g. in a custom report or similar then I can set it up. I'm assuming you want the colon clicking stats.

    • Thanks P. That sounds like a bargain compared to other horror stories I've heard! 
    • DD, "Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃" At least the economy and unemployment weren't in the mess they are now. What is it, give the public sector a whopping pay increase with no strings attached, double the black hole and then blame it on the last Govt. Give me strength. Rachel from accounts shouldn't be anywhere near the economy. The final straw was increasing employer NI contributions and look how that's worked out. Month on month both inflation and unemployment have risen. Won't be long before inflation and u/e are exceeding 5%, but guess what, They'll blame Sunak and go.  Lets have a snap election right NOW, then see how poorly Starmer, Reeves and Rainer do. They're already plotting to get rid of Starmer, and if you think its bad now, you ain't seen nothing yet. Oh and did I mention Starmer wanting to stop Freedom of Speech............................................Normal people can see right through what him and co are doing, great at spending other peoples money, him and co don't have = bankruptcy. We'll just repeat the economic collapse that happened in Greece and wasn't it in Italy as well?
    • One of the best of Shakespeare 's plays.  I did Othello for A level. Also seen a number of stage and film versions. Is there any specific aspects of the play that is difficult for your daughter to understand?  
    • @Sue think this is your quote.  It wasn't binary, good Vs bad, and Corbyn had a lot of popular support, as evidenced by the previous election. He had aot of good policies, some picked up by others since. He was defeated by a mixture of a right wing press,good targeting the Johnson 'Get Brexit Done" and for some that Johnson was a funny loveable rogue/fool/liar/philander/opportunist.  I wouldn't see choosing the perceived least worst candidate out of the two major parties as being "good sense'.  We imagine that Corbyn would have been terrible, but we don't know.  He would have taken a stronger line against Israel in Gaza, not sucked up to Trump nut on Russia?  Would the UK be better for that?
