End-User Options - Ignore Thread: Allow Users to Ignore Threads of Their Choosing

As originally described, this hack adds an "Ignore Thread" option to the thread tools menu and generates a list of threads you have ignored in your UserCP. Basically it allows your users to ignore threads of their choosing, preventing said threads from showing up in forumbit, forumdisplay, and search results.

Import one product and edit two templates. Fully phrased. No PHP file edits. Tested on vB 3.6.1. Ported with permission. The original is here.

Is this hack also compatible with 3.6.4?

Yes. I just installed it.

However, one of my members just sent me this advisory:

On the home page, the title of the thread can still be viewed, unless it's replaced by another more recent thread. If one clicks on the title of the thread it can be viewed in it's entirety even tho the "ignore thread" option is activated.

Can anyone suggest a workaround for this? This isn't a portal by the way - just the basic vBulletin forum index page.

Happy to hear it works for 3.6.4 I will wait to see if that bug is fixed before install. And an answer to if Mods/Admins threads can be ignored I would hope they can't be

On Edit:

It works in 3.6.5!

[rjmjr69]

Nice works with 3.6.5 will test for that bug. Only thing I have noticed is it display's the thread still in the STATS hack TOPX but everywhere else it seems to be gone.

Would this be able to be ammended to say something like..

Disable or Ignore all threads that have the Thumbs up icon in it? I have one root thread with all topics for 3 different systems in it. When you post a thread in the news item you need to select a post ICON. one for 360, one for Wii and one for PS3 so if you dont care about 360 news you could ignore anything post using the 360 icon?? Would this also exclude them from searchs??

what i would love to see, is ignore forum where u can select check boxes of what forums u want to see, in ur user cp, default is all checked

if one is unchecked the entire forum disappears for that user

What I would like to see is this mod expanded to allow users to ignore an entire forum or series of forums.

Can this be done?

Why must they ignore a forum? why not just.. not read it?

If you want to exclude forum from their new posts searches there are seperate mods for that.

I've used it. It's pretty good.

I have a very large messageboard with well over 100 forums in it. It is an rpg site with a separate forum for each rpg game. What I would like to see is a mod like this one that allows for my users to ignore forums that they are not involved in. That is why I want the "ignore forums" option.
