Is there a way to ignore individual threads?

Haven't you ever searched this forum for a recipe without having seen it first? We do it with Google or DuckDuckGo. I think it's better to search here first.

Besides, CD wouldn't be ignoring a thread that he doesn't know exists. He has to see it first to decide that he would like to ignore it.

First, I can almost guarantee I would not go looking for a thread about eggplant.

I don't generally ignore threads on other forums based on the name of the thread. I do read at least the original post. I may read several posts before I realize that I'm just not interested.

But you would know what you're looking for. You'd also know there was a thread about it, for example - eggplant, because your "ignored" it. Regardless, if you had a sudden urge to research something you'd never been interested in, you would just use the search function.

I really don't see a point in discussing why someone would want to ignore a thread.

In my OP, I merely asked if there was a way to do it. I got an answer. If there is a way to add that capability to DC, that would be great. If not, I'll live with it.

If you become interested in a topic you weren't interested in before, you can search for it at any time. You don't have to know about specific threads before you search.

So what you want, in the bottom right corner, is an additional icon that says

Dislike?

In the header for all threads there could check box labeled "Ignore This Thread" that you can click.

Can you do a screen cap and show me where it is? I don't see it.

Sorry, CD. My post was a suggestion. I was responding to SLOB asking, "So what do you want . . ."

That sounds familiar. Couldn't we do that with the old forum software?

Now that I read it again, I should have known that.

I thought we used to have that.

I've run the question up the chain.

Currently, there is no way to do this BUT the ability of on the horizon. Tools are being built to ignore threads and whole forum sections. Stay tuned...
