#1 Brilliant trick to improve one's Forum Experience !
Posted: Tue Oct 10, 2017 5:12 pm
Anyone wishing to no longer visualise posts that they feel are
1. likely to lie outside their spheres of interest, and / or
2. likely to lie beyond their credibility threshold
could use a useful little device that can be accessed through the top RHS button where ones own "Name" is shown.
Using this enables one to no longer see the contributions from such and such a poster, and I can confirm it works perfectly.
However it's not immediately obvious how it works, especially right at the end, so "à toutes fins utiles" here is the tweak :
1. In via a click on your "Name", top RHS.
2. Click on "User Control Panel".
3. Click on RH tab marked "Friends and Foes".
4. Click on "Manage Foes".
5. Click on "Find a Member".
6. Type in the "Username" you no longer want to read posts from, then Click on "Search".
7. Tick on the "box" next to the identity you're aiming to suppress.
8. Click on the "Select" word that is just below the tick - this is the tricky step I couldn't grasp.
9. You should now see the "Name" you no longer wish to read in the box to the RHS.
10. You click on "Submit" to the lower right edge, and then "Yes" to confirm this is your wish.
And that's it.
PS : You can probably just type in their "Name" without using the "Search" if you're absolutely certain of the spelling and the case, say, of just a simple 4-letter word.
