Ignore List and Quoting

[HawkofStorms]

I've been using the forum ignore list feature more recently (thank god, some people are asses and I don't want to read their opinions). However, I notice that when the person who I am ignoring gets quoted, I end up seeing that person's post in the quote. Now, I'm sure there is probably no way to avoid that, but is there anyway to make it so ignoring also prevents me from seeing that post made when it gets quoted?

I mean, the whole reason I put people on the ignore list is so I don't have to bother reading their pretentious crap and can avoid getting riled up. But if a few posts below, I end up seeing their entire post in a quote, that defeats the entire point of the ignore list.

Have a look at this, it seems like it might do what you want - on a client side basis rather than server side.

If I find a server side solution with the same function I'll get that running.

Ohh much appreciated.

Thanks for pointing that extension out, JR. I had some trouble getting it to work correctly on this forum, so I'll post what worked for me in case anyone else has this issue. Instructions for adding user names are pretty clear if you follow the links provided, but the "Included Pages" need to be changed. Just click the "add" button and enter the following:

*/forum/*-p*.html*
*/forum/*-t*.html*

Add the following to "Excluded Pages:"

*/forum/*-f*.html

It should look like this. Note that *showthread.php* is the default, but it obviously is not valid for this forum.



Without the exclusion, I found the sub-forums would have no thread list if the user name that is ignored had posted in any current thread on the list, so I just added a wild card to exclude the sub-forums. You can still see the blocked user name in the thread list if they are the last poster, but once you open the thread, all their posts and any quotes will vanish. If someone knows a better method, please share.

Any input from administrators on url syntax used would be helpful, but the script is working presently.

The traditional vB syntax should still work, i.e:

To show a particular post individually:

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/showpost.php?p=[postID]&postcount=[post number in thread]

To show a particular post in context: (redirects to the thread name syntax)

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/showthread.php?p=[postID]&postcount=[post number in thread]

Then there's 'go to new post':

http://www.guildwars2guru.com/forum/[thread name]-t[threadID].html?goto=newpost

Hope that helps, let me know if you have any more questions.
