When Shutting Up isn't Cowardice

The Ignore-Button

For all of you who are using Mozilla Firefox or another Mozilla browser to A2K: there's an extension which allows you to hide specific user's posts! It adds an [X] next to the username:




By clicking the [X], you add that poster to your personal ignore-list. If a user is hidden, you will merely see his username and a link to display the post, but all his posts will be hidden:




Remove a poster from the userlist by simply clicking the [X] next to his username again.


The official extension can be downloaded from the Firefox Add-ons website. However, the extension you'll find there only works with Firefox 0.9 - 1.0+

If your version of Firefox is 1.5.x, you can download a compatible extention at http://thumper.kicks-ass.org/wordpress/phpbbuserhide/. You may need to right click > save as, then file > open file in your Firefox.

Thanks OE. I knew there was a reason I was using FF.

I just installed it, and it works like a charm -- the imposer of my favorite American founding father is invisible but for the username.

Thank you so much, Old Europe!

I can see my days being read are numbered.

I wonder how much activity FF is getting on the add-on site right now

Dang, you mean if I'm not running Firefox, I have to keep reading the doodoo?

I almost always disagree with you, edgar, but this time I profoundly disagree. You can count on me as a loyal reader.

Me, too edgar - I don't always agree, but you have a heart and you make sense to me.

Yup. Pretty good sales pitch, huh? "Surf with Internet Explorer, surf through doodoo."

Even after I dissed you on one thread? For which I felt a need to apologize, but didn't?

Works like a charm.

Which one? People diss me all the time; I'm used to that.

There are several people I never skip including Thomas/Edgar/JLN?Georgeob (and a few others)

Had to do with capitalism/socialism, or something.

It's a marvellous extension, isn't it? That alone would be worth switching to Firefox for. Glad I'm already using it

Now, let me see who I'm going to add to my ignore-list...

<looks around>

I'm slightly curious as to what OE said just now.

I see Ticomaya must have posted something...

Ha!

Damn...I prefer Opera!



I HAD Firefox.




At this point, I'd prolly only actually x out one poster, and I don't think it's worth changing browsers for that.
