Is there a way to put entire threads on ignore?
 

Is there? So they are not so........In your face all the time.

Sorry, I can't see this thread or I'd answer you.

PS I don't think so unless you think the work-around is appropriate, yes, you can ignore whole threads, assuming you're willing to ignore all threads on a particular board.

Of course, the best answer is to just not click on them.

There is a way,

It involves turning off your computer and going outside.

It's called the "analog workaround."

Common when someone takes a vacation.

Annoying but it will subside.

I prefer to practice mouse control.

Does that involve whips and chains?

If so where do you get the tiny whips and chains?

No silly.

I put a condom over the mouse.

It's just mind over matter.

I don't mind, so it doesn't matter.

Is that related to an analog reacharound?

Not sure when vBulletin software introduced the feature, but you can "ignore threads." Open PPOT BBS. Then, simply highlight the thread you wish to ignore. Press and hold the Alt button and then tap function key F4. There's a slight glitch, though. If the browser asks if you wish to "Close all tabs," go ahead and hit "yes."Hope this helps.

As opposed to a digital reacharound?

Oh wait, that's the other forum. Never mind.

Too much information...

Don't forget the "manual reacharound",

and the

"Manuel reacharound."

Now that is funny!

In honor of Cinco de Mayo, no doubt.

Something like "put the mouse down and step away from the computer!" type of thing? :)

Or just don't click on the thread title, Doh!

Thats something you can only get in Hoboken......

OSX - control key + q
MS - cntrl - alt - del

those should do it :-(

dick head

I jus Fried that and it 'booted my kompter

you Sukc BIG time stopp telling folks dis stffus if you diont want rpoblems on
dis board cracker head

man if I had my 2x4 called lulubell I'd give you a large maug of whomp ass

I have considered both these suggestions but they leave me wanting. There are a few threads here that I would also like to put on ignore. Aurel and Joe have good ideas but they are ( the ideas, not Joe and Aurel) very passive. I would prefer to actively ignore certain stuff, and hitting a few keys to accomplish that, would be more satisfying!

Best,

Boy, someone is not having a good day huh?

If you do not know what you are doing with commands like this, then why in the world did you do what SG recommended? If he told you to put a gun to your head and pull the trigger...

Speaking of idiots...

Childish and mischeivious replies were given. No one called "them" an idiot.

Blindly trusting something, anything, that you find on an anon internet forum is strongly not recommended.

At the worst, it rebooted his computer. To call someone a "richard cranium" because you did something silly that 90% of the people should know will reboot your computer is... well its not the smartest thing in the world.

Well, I didn't find the "Playa-speek" humor a particularly sophisticated joke , but obviously it went right over your head.

Aw, Joe, read some of his other posts. He's jerkin' someone's chain.

My solution, remove Pelican from your favorites and desktop.

Unlike YOU I do not deal with people who cannot speak proper English. You want to speak like a "player or gangster" thats fine but it will not be done around me. Grow up then come back...

Milt, agree! Thats why I left PPOT for six months a while back. So much BS that is not worth putting up with on OT these days.

Joe, he was kidding and you missed it. That's all.

He shoulda tried the Manuel reacharound instead!

Quite obviously...

;)

uh huh, uh huh :p

I thought that suggesting doing a

MS - cntrl - alt - del

was quite funny, kinda like, if it dont work switch it off and start again. type fixes.
ringing helpdesks and they ask you.. "is the mains lead plugged in !"

hence my frivoulous reply.

oh do get a grip !

you will certainly live a lot longer !

its only an internet forum, not real life, go out and do something constructive like growing flowers or helping an old lady across the street.

"it will not be done around me", oh bladi bladi blah

hahaha ROFLMAO
