How about a new DU function? A word or phrase, thread ignore function.

[elocs]

How great would that be? We all have ones we would like to ignore all the time or when they come up and it would be easier than x-ing each individual thread. Now that would be something.

1. We could have used that when Bush was president.

[Engineer4Obama]

3. It wouldn't have worked

Bush seems to have an unlimited number of aliases here.

2. How about you just use your own brain, decide for yourself which threads to read, and/or respond to?

Pretty radical idea, dontchyathink?:rofl: :banghead:

[elocs]

5. You must have missed the part where I alluded to the tedious thread by thread ignore.

That's the point and it's not too radical, dontchaythink? :rofl: :banghead:

12. Are you incapable of diverting your stare?

Don't click on it!

14. I'm with elocs on this. . DU has periodic tabloid outbreaks due to

an over exposure to MSM. It would be useful to me to be able to keyword out pages of threads on the "scandal du jour".

[Posteritatis]

4. I'd be too tempted to put the letter E into it some days. (nt)

[elocs]

6. Hey, go for it. n/t

7. I hid every thread tonight with the word balloon in it

first time Ive ever hidden a thread.

[elocs]

11. Just think if you could just once type "balloon" and they would all be gone

rather than doing it thread by thread. DU always has to have an obsession with something. "Good Citizens Check for Duplicates" is the most widely ignored rule around here.

[The Straight Story]

8. Just put everyone on Ignore but me and you will be fine

:rofl:

[elocs]

10. I'm probably pretty close to that now.

Plus, I'm on so many ignore lists that I'm surprised when anyone can read what I post.

[Divine Discontent]

13. Beck Freeperville and some other words would certainly be on my remove list so I wouldn't have to

several seconds each thread reading the title going, "NO!". So, I agree, and was going to post something the other day saying this, so thanks.

Please Admins, make a word skip function for thread titles. (if there is something, let me know)

[we can do it]

9. BALLOOOOOOOON

[annabanana]

15. I'm with you. What a great counter to the periodic Tabloid Outbreaks

that we get here sometimes.

[IDemo]

16. I have asked for this several times over the years

The best you can probably hope for is for someone more talented than I to create a Greasemonkey script.

[annabanana]

17. A little birdie told me we may just get that function

in the next big upgrade . . . (month's long project in the works).
