[RELEASE] Kill File v1.0 -- ignore lists

********** Kill File Hack v1.0 **********

vB Code Base used: v1.1.3 Author: ~shabang~
In action @ http://www.overgrow.com/edge/index.php
Latest version: http://www.overgrow.com/archive/KillFile.zip

The Kill File is an addition onto the wildly succesful PM hack.
This would not be possible without the fine work of Mike (Ed)
Sullivan. Some parts (a query or two) are pulled from his code.
** The PM hack is a pre-requisite to installing the Kill File. **

** DO NOT PROCEED unless you have Private Messaging **

***********************************

Design Document:

Overall:
-Allow any registered and cookied user to selectively ignore any poster.
-The handle ignored can be either registered or unregistered.
-Allow a global setting to ignore all unregistered users.

Ignore List:
-Database is already in place with PM, just need to integrate with forums.
-User can edit the ignore list in PM.
-After editing ignore list, user is sent back to the original thread.

Ignore Mechanism:
-At the bottom of every post will be an ignore button to turn it on.
-If a post is ignored, the message will not be displayed.
-Instead of the message a link to bypass the ignore setting is used.
-This link would then display the message regardless of the ignore.


This install will add 1 template: postbit_ignored
Edit 4 templates: postbit, showthread, redirect_pmignoreedited, showignore
and Edit 2 PHP files: private.php, showthread.php
