• labcrab Posted : 3/3/2006 6:18:38 PM How does it work? Do you see the whole thread, just not the Troll's posts? I'm afraid my simple mind would be confused by the missing posts!

• jeano Posted : 3/3/2006 8:33:26 PM I thought the block feature only blocked PMs from those you put on it, not posts. Where do you find this block feature?? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lauri S. Posted : 3/3/2006 8:36:55 PM Jeano - it's the little red hand at the bottom of every message.  Find the person that annoys you, click the hand and you never see their posts again. Yes, it does make reading threads tricky but I can tell instantly if a thread has gone downhill by the number of 'holes' in it.  Once it gets past a certain point I ditch the thread completely.  Got better things to do than waste my time on that codwallop. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• karin Posted : 3/3/2006 9:10:10 PM Oh, that will be pretty cool!! I am starting to get the hang of the new forum! I took a quick peek last night, and it was just too much for me! BUT this evening I managed to upload my avator, and am starting to explore all the new features. (I really feel like I need a step-by-step handbook!)   This is a tiny bit off topic, but when replying to a thread is it okay to just hit the post reply button at the bottom of the thread? If I want to reply to a specific person in a thread, how do I accomplish this? And where oh where is spell check?? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• karin Posted : 3/3/2006 9:13:25 PM Oh, wait..... I feel REALLY stupid. Now I see that I can just click the reply icon, in a post in order to reply to a specific person! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• dubilpie Posted : 3/4/2006 9:21:53 AM If you block someone, do they know you blocked them? 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• spiritdogs Posted : 3/4/2006 9:29:11 AM Yeah, and does it only block them on one thread, or all threads?  If you want to un-block them, how do you do it?  (I have a hard time holding a grudge LOL) 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• Lauri S. Posted : 3/4/2006 9:36:24 AM If you block someone you will get a GREEN hand by their posts - so you can unblock them. I would imagine that the block works on ALL threads but you can always try it and see! 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• karin Posted : 3/4/2006 2:17:38 PM Anne,   I tried blocking someone last night. It worked on all the threads, and then as a experiment I picked a thread they had posted on. It had a space, showed their user name, and in bold letters said IGNORE. I was able to unblock them by clicking on the post, then re-block that person again. It was pretty cool! The feature seems like it will work well when there are trolls. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• jeano Posted : 3/4/2006 4:09:20 PM If you block someone, do they know you blocked them? I doubt it. That would rather fuel a troll problem don't you think? If someone was blocking me from their posts it is really none of MY business. I would say that in this case, ignorance IS bliss! That's not a definitive answer, I don't know if the blocked person knows. But I don't see why they should know. 0 LIKE Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.
