New Forum Layout

[oldmancraigy]

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but the ignore feature functions poorly on this new layout.

If you're ignored someone, then you are completely free from their posts, and all evidence of them (ie, it doesn't show as 'this member is on your ignore list'). Kind of crap, because you can't really follow the flow of conversation in a thread, even if the person you've ignored is contributing little to nothing to the discussion. There just seems to be random posts from people replying to white space.

So in effect you are penalising people for putting the crappy/ annoying members on the ignore list - makes it more difficult to know why someone says something in a particular thread.
The old system was better, gave the ignorer the option of clicking to see what the ignoree said, or at least let them see how others replied to a post they made

Sorry what did OMC say ? I have him on ignore.

 

[Dibs]

Lol yeah I've seen a few weird posts and thought wtf, but then I realized they were responding to something jake said. His material is so one dimensional it wasn't hard to work out

 

[strider]

There are about 20 different options, like, dislike, spam, agree, disagree, wtf, funny, friendly, informative, creative, optimistic and last but not least D'oh

They are all turned off except the LIKE, thank god

Turn em on!!!

 

[Dibs]

Turn em on!!!

Especially the disagree and wtf ones

This is a first complaining the ignore function is working exactly as it should.

Anyway this isn't functioning poorly, just differently.

If you notice that people seem to be randomly replying to something that you can't see, first look at the post numbers bottom right - that'll be the giveaway there's someone you've ignored posting (if a post # is skipped between consecutive posts).

Then - and this is where it's simply different, not poor - where the page numbers are at the bottom of each page there should be a "show ignored content" button to the right.

The option's there, just not where you expect it.

Is Timmah talking shit again? I can't see his posts.

Turn em on!!!

If that is the way you want it, sure.

Many message boards have the ignored post in the flow of conversation, and a reply to ignioed posters is seen. Ie, just like it used to be here.
Personally i found that more useful, and this version I find poor because it penalises the person who is ignoring someone by making the flow seem odd at times.

Food for thought, did you have complaints about the old way? Just wondering why the change to a less intuitive style.

Yeah, there were a lot of complaints about the old way. Yours is honestly the first we've had about the new method.

 

[Gary Gutful]

Maybe those that were complaining were on ignore?

 

[Eelementary]

I didn't like the new layout at first- I don't like change.

But I love it now. Well done all.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Exactly. If merkins are going to put me on ignore, I don't want them to even see that I've posted.

 

[Twizzle]

They are not necessarily merkins just because they put you on ignore

Maybe they have standards.

 

[Dibs]

Exactly. If merkins are going to put me on ignore, I don't want them to even see that I've posted.

But they will know because it will be followed by a senseless post from fanbase. Hang on that's a tautology I mean a post from fanbase

 

[forward pass]

Has anyone tried putting everybody on ignore to see what happens??

Don't do it. It makes the Sharks win a premiership.
