Know we all know when you're sending out PMs... And speaking of looking at members' profiles... I've noticed that if you go into a member's profile and click in the Profile Options drop-down list (top right-hand corner), one of the selections is Ignore User. Anybody know what happens when you select this option? I'm hesitant to try it out on anyone lest I not be able to reverse it, and must unwantedly ignore them forever!

If it does what it does on the other forum I've been on, it makes the posts by that user invisible to you and blocks incoming PMs. I'm rather unwilling to test it though...

BrunoBrimley 85 Posted February 16, 2006 This could prove to be interesting..............does it work as the polling system does where each person is allowed one vote or can I multii-vote until Uncle Wilfie is top rated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Reaper 185 Posted February 16, 2006 I found out how to enable this last night, however I believe it is very limited in that the topic rating is simply set or changed by any of the people that have the power to do ratings ie Mods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,871 Posted February 16, 2006 How many languages do we actually have on board ? To my knowledge, one or more members of this board are fluent in at least the following languages: Dutch English French German Spanish I may have missed a few, so pleae add to the list. regards, Hein As well as English, I speak (fluently) American, Canadian, Australian, seeth efreecan, and New Zealander, ( but not Maori yet) Any obscure ones? I got a little Valenciano/Catalan Any Gaelic out there? I'd say Manx was fairly obscure. I also have some Hungarian and Upper Sorbian too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Grendel 139 Posted February 16, 2006 The only problem I've had is when I archive my PM's, when they are sent to my email address they are encoded and look like a load of gobbledygook, I've tried archiving them under both formats but the end results are the same.

in eternum+ 20 Posted February 16, 2006 In the name of... research... I have elected to 'Ignore' a member. Only to see what happens, of course. Research trials indicate the following: the fact that the member has posted, appears. However, the text within the post is replaced with: If you click on 'View this post', the text that the member posted then apears as it would normally. If you close the thread and open it again, their post disappears, to be replaced once again by the options above. Rather unfortunately, I ran out of funding halfway through this research project, and am therefore unable to complete it at this time. The 'Un-ignore" option thus remains unexplored.

Rather unfortunately, I ran out of funding halfway through this research project, and am therefore unable to complete it at this time. The 'Un-ignore" option thus remains unexplored. The DLTWG permanently lacks sufficient funding. The recent doubling of the research budget doesn't even start to address the problems. Those beancounters at management have no idea of the cost of sixpacks lab equipment. regards, Hein Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Magere Hein 1,398 Posted February 16, 2006 (edited) What's this "merge two consective posts by the same member" thingy? I've seen ff struggle with that recently. regards, Hein What's this "merge two consective posts by the same member" thingy? I've seen ff struggle with that recently. And this is a test to see it.
