ASF Issues, Errors and Problems

Jump to new
Good evening @Joe Blow ,
No emergency on that one but i am a bit puzzled.
A while back, i wanted to post a link rekated to the Australian grid, did a search on "the energy" and got nothing so gave up and posted it elsewhere.
Looking at this morning latest activity: SirRumpole had an interesting reply
But if i click on that energy thread
I get

I do not seem to be in SirRumpole's ignore list, i do not ignore that thread myself...
Is something wrong ?
or could that thread have been initiated/created by someone i ignore..f.e. Basilio ?
Anyway a bit puzzled, and i think i am quite well behaved at least within that energy thread?
Not critical so no rush

You are on the thread starter's ignore list.

Sadly, the third party ignore functionality has some unresolved issues. The following setting exists in the options of the add-on but it does not seem to work, which makes threads disappear for those on the thread starter's ignore list.



I have advocated for a fix but it has not happened yet, so all I can say is try not to get on too many ignore lists or you might end up losing access to some threads.
 
The fix would be to allow a heterodox range of views, and take the high road, even if it's difficult.
As they say, la roue tourne. le passé est garant.
 
A shame so will have to carry on the society division and create own thread on energy grid etc.
We should start a header for each thread:
1)Loony watermelon
Or
2) Fascist far right who wants freedom and sciences as if it was the 1980s...

But thanks Joe, that explains.
Small price to pay imho
 
Some ignore are a badge of honour ?
 

Feel free to create your own thread, but if you do try and frame it in an alternate way so it covers different ground. Title the thread so it comes at the issue from another angle, perhaps in a more focused or specific way.

You are not on my ignore list Froggy, in fact no one is.

I've only thought about using it once and that person seems to have vanished.

I can't see why we would need one here.

I know that, and it is a shame i could not read the exchange as neither of the posters were ignored/ignored by and the subject interesting.

Ignore is a difficult subject.

Using a voluntarily extreme shocking analogy:
If this thread was in Germany 1930s..would a Jewish member use ignore or not?
On one side using ignore allows him to have a life and reduce stress, and save him from spending his time trying unsuccessfully to alert Gunter of what's coming...
on the other hand, ignore would hide sad facts and potentially lead him unaware of what is brewing among the opinion and Nazi members.
ASF being a market platform, i prefer to avoid non market linked discussion..it is hard enough as is so i use ignore:
On people i see without ethic, people who are either troll or political party mouthpiece and on people who i could not sit on a table with in life.not that many overall..
 

People can ignore voluntarily anyway by choosing not to read what is in front of them.

If using the 'system' ignore cuts other people off from a thread that they want to read then I don't think it's a good feature.
 
There is a really good ignore feature built in to ASF. Its called the "Mark forums read" button.

I use this button quite extensively on some "very popular" threads, stuff in which I have absolutely no interest.
