Nice! Didn't realize there was one of those. Hmmmm, can we all take turns guessing who you have chosen to ignore?

Figured it out:
Go to Quicklinks > Edit Options
On the Sidebar, Click Edit Ignore List
Add User(s)

Unfortunately, it doesn't work on posts that have been quoted.

Great find BFeller!

Hopefully Mark will see what is going on and take care of it for all of us

Maybe if we all just ignore him he will go away like a rash

Was it just me or did everyone else see this coming from his first post?

Good thought. People like that just crave attention. Almost feel sorry for him. Just looking for any attention he can get...parents too busy so they just shower him with money to cover up their parental shortcomings.

Or he's just a dick. I could go either way.

I did that for a bit with one member, but it was hardly worth it. I had to be logged in for it to work and for a while it seemed like he posted in every thread. For now as long as the ******************************** is contained to a couple selfie infested threads, it's easy enough to avoid the annoyance.

I have one user on mine, I too was very excited when I found it. That user has thankfully faded away; every one of his or her posts was antagonistic and contributed nothing. The sole redeeming quality was that they did not attack the long time contributors in their threads, instead picking on the regular folks and even some new folks.

I may be getting old and mellow but it kind of makes me sad when people get rowdy and don't fit in. This is a great community.

I truly do feel sorry for the kid. He finds his self worth in the stupidest of things. Besides who really takes that many photos, he's obviously been sending that crap to people before, he is unloved.

Fresh off of a break up or something, he has no true self value and hates himself.

Posting so many things he is proud of and finds value in, not one photo was of a lover. Could be struggling with pedophilia or maybe spends wads of cash other services from Craigslist then just college help.

Either way, good riddance, thanks to those who pointed out the ignore feature.

This message is hidden because Mr.JonathanLanda is on your ignore list.

Just like that.

He's gone.

I honestly was not trying to bait him when I started my thread. It was simply something I had noticed and similar to the thread Timco started last week

Had I known, I would not have done it

I take the mellow approach. You learn by listening to other view points. But the genius of Fred and Particlewave - it was just to much...... I couldn't control the need for cool goodies to modify my car. OK - it wasn't either of them. I usually just ignore the threads that don't interest me.

Seems more like herpes that just keep coming back. The forum is infected.

I hope not, a rash generally goes away. Herpes keeps reappearing
