Ignoring members - please check your settings

It is sad that someone on here thinks they are being ignored when they are clearly not being ignored. Well not officially anyway:giggle:

Never understood why people ignore others.

It totally cocks up continuity on threads.
And let’s face it they may have something interesting to say on some subjects, maybe 😊

I'm lead to believe it only effects the two people the ignorer and ignored? all others see their posts.......i think.
Like the one person i ignored cannot see my posts and i cannot see his.

Yes I see that but if another poster makes reference to an ignored etc the thread becomes disjointed 😊

It's their choice but as you say they could be missing out on useful stuff.

The actual 'ignoring' does only affect those two but when you see responses by other funsters to the ignoree's posts it seems as if they are talking to themselves ... that's what happened on the Ukraine thread and why she twigged she was being ignored as they didn't make sense.

Agreed ... causes confusion.

Could I please ask member to double check their 'ignore' settings as my t'other half, a very popular funster, is being ignored by a some members judging by her not being able to see posts (ie gaps in threads) however she's discovered that a couple have done this unintentionally so I suspect she's not the only member who's been ignored accidentally.

If you want to ignore people obviously that is most definitely your right but if not then you could be missing out on some interesting stuff posted by the 'accidentally ignored'! :giggle:

Therefore please check your ignore settings to ensure they are correct.

You can ignore threads and - iirc - sub forums.
I’ve a few “show your pet” threads of ignored, for example.

You can ignore thread and forum sections and I suspect that's how some people end up putting people on the ignore list accidentally, it's the 'tick' box which may be causing the issue as we are 'trained' to click on it for so much stuff but if you do it when you want to ignore a thread you also ignore the member too!

Shrekfeet I am so glad you started this thread because, having followed your advice to check my “ignore” box, I have discovered that I was ignoring a Funster from Essex. I am not prejudiced against anyone from any part of the world and I have no idea how they came to be ignored by me.
Until you posted your thread I had no idea how to ignore someone, so thank you for making me aware.

I have one person on ignore. Their post was so offensive to me I didn't want to see anything else they might post. I don't want to see their bigoted views or to have anything to do with them. The ignore button is quite useful tool. It protects my sanity.

The ones on my list never say anything I find useful 🙂 that’s why they are on my list🤣
 
So there is no way to find out whose ignore list you might be on?

Generally: But was their post written in a Motorhome advice area where there area of expertise or experience might be useful or informative?
Might be easier to skip past one offensive U Shaped Lounge post than miss posts elsewhere on the whole forum. 👀🤷‍♂️
 
I don't use ignore button... It generally takes a lot to upset me and life is to short and incident is quickly forgotten.
I do know I am being ignored by at least one member, and as such they will not see this post and therefore it is pointless me trying to make ammends and apologising!
So I will just have to continue trying to quess what they are saying by what other Funsters are replying.
 
I haven’t ignored anyone as I don’t see the point of doing so. Whatever you do or say will not offend me. Sticks and stones…..etc.,

I am on the ignore list of at least one person,at least I think I must be as I don’t get to see their drivel,oops sorry,learned and interesting comments. :ROFLMAO: :LOL:

I am happy to cut my nose off to spite my face. I am happy to skip over stuff I don't like or disagree with, but this caused such offence I didn't want to see any more of his opinions. I am very happy!
 
#32 you show me yours and I’ll show you mine!!!😊😊😊

I’m ignoring, a few people, quiet a few forum sections, and thousands of posts. Life is too short for some of the crap that some people write.

I do the same to avoid cluttering up my screen with topics that run and run or appear frequently and in which I have no interest.
E.g. 'Ducato air bag problems', 'Wetherspoons', 'Route from A to B?', 'Uprating', 'Inverters', Solar panels', 'Crochet', 'Fitting Lithium', 'Computers', 'SIM cards', Pop stars, T.V. soaps and 'celebrities', quizzes, jokes, gurning grandchildren................much of which turned me off Faecesbook when I dipped into it for a month seven years ago.

As for individuals, for many diverse reasons I choose the company with whom I wish to share my time.

Now when you ignore a thread, there is no confirmation as its not really needed, so no option to ignore the thread starter. That will stop the unintentional ignores.

They boasted on the forum “you are ignored” so I did the same.

You should have reported the post, if people tell others who they ignore then they lose the ability to ignore anyone.
