Or when quoted by another
I've just discovered that this feature is standard on the platform I'm planning on migrating ASF to, so rather than commit resources to a custom solution it's probably better just to wait until I make the move.
Does that mean even the front page is configured by each individual member's parameters?
That would undoubtedly do the trick; but it would also slow the system down.
Okay, if carrying "ignore" that far is important to many members, it may be worth sacrificing speed and simplicity. But hiding not only an ignored member's posts, but also direct replies from others, has the potential to fragment threads to the point of becoming unintelligible.
When posting a reply to someone's post, or using Multi+ replies, it would be a great help if date and time of the quoted entry were added behind the member's name.

Why? I just spent/ wasted several minutes trying to make sense of a multiple reply in the NST thread, where Miner quotes two charts of mine. They look similar, but one of them is almost a year old. It's not Miner's fault; but had the first one shown the date (November 2013) his reply would've been much easier and quicker to understand
PS: It would also be great if a separate "Reply to post" button was provided without a quote. Quite often, a brief reply to a long narrative doesn't require the text to be repeated, yet a reference to the post a reply relates to is essential if a few others have since been talking about a different aspect.
This reply is a good example: Nothing of my earlier post is necessary to be repeated, and I've manually deleted most of it. But the reference is needed so it's clear what the PS is an addition to.
yes Joe, I know that; but especially with multi-quotes, that's quite tedious and could be simplified.To find out which post the quote came from, all you need to do is click on the little green arrow next to the user name in the quote. This will instantly take you to the post being quoted.

Hi Joe,
Um...what did you do to the site when viewing from a mobile device?
I'm sure there are some highly technical reasons why you've changed things, but I have to say I'm not a fan.
1) I can no longer "zoom" into the page.
2) many links to attachments and embedded video's simply do not work
3) navigation was not user friendly - but that probably my fault.
Cheers

"I've got no idea who to use for share market investment advice I just listen to the news and commentary and buy on that basis....so what if there was a private section in ASF available only to paid subscribers where we could get advice from people who know what they're doing.
I know there are legal issues to be overcome but it might work and monetise ASF a bit more, perhaps a lot more.
Good advice is worth paying for but from who ? Vested interests seem to be everywhere.
Advisors could be chosen by Joe and perhaps a few trusted members as being reliable and honest.
"
I suspect that "Financial Adviser" accreditation for "people that know what they are doing" might be a stumbling block. Then the matter of/cost of personal liability insurance for Advisers dealing with disgruntled investors.
Well that's the issues you deal with when you make money................
Maybe you should run a poll to gauge the level of interest among ASF members. Give some guidelines:
1. to the proposed subscription costs;
2. parameters of qualification for the advisers;
3. independent verification of their past success as traders; and
4. area's of investment, ie. currency, equities, options etc.
All valid questions, if Joe thinks it's worth pursuing he should run that poll.
No doubt there would be backlash when advice didn't lead to instant riches.
Just an idea, but probably too fraught with risk.
Cant see why OPINION cannot be regularly bought forward by anyone.
What people do with it is up to the individual.
If an opinion is respected it may carry more weight for the individual.
Don't offer ADVICE.
Base an opinion on XYZ
Then form your own opinion.
