Is that possible? Ignore is nice, but if someone replies to them, how do you hide that quote and following reply?

I wasn't thinking of trying that. That one sounds a bit like work. Just wanted to completely remove the notices that the person has posted.
Did Wraith post something here?

Too small now? Still too big?
edit:
Further shrinkage:
Also, earthjoker isn't really on my ignore list. He just had the easiest-to-test post that I saw on the test forum.
<lolli> further shrinkage
<lolli> i want shrinkage to the point of being dunked in ice water when it is below freezing outside
We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.
I might be missing something, but where is the list of smilies?

Check your settings to make sure you're in WYSIWYG editting mode. In advanced, they should be on the right of your post.
The "go to first new post" button is being wonky and taking me to posts that are not new.
Last night as I lay in bed, looking up at the stars, I thought, “Where the hell is my ceiling?"
I just tested it out on a few threads, and it seems to be working alright for me. Which browser are you using, and have you done anything odd with your sessions? Like changing computers or logging out & back in? Is this a consistent repro for you?
I use Firefox 3, and it's just started happening today. It does not happen consistently. I've been taken to the correct post, to the first post in the thread, to the top of the last page in the thread, and to posts in the middle of the last page. I don't THINK I've been doing anything odd in my sessions.

I'll look into it and try to see if I can get a repro. One last question: do you use the back button or backspace to get out of a thread you've finished reading, or one of the links on the page?
edit: I think I may have a repro. It happened when I closed my browser after a session and opened it again shortly afterwards. It looks like it lost the informaton about what I viewed wasn't stored. Could this be the same thing?

I have seen it happen in threads with pictures. But this also may be caused by me not having the patience for all the pictures too load.
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
I will do that at times, but not since I noticed the problem, I'm aware that issues can crop up when posts have been made in the intervening period.
No, that's a long-standing issue with VBulletin I already knew about, this is happening to me even when I make my first visit of the day.edit: I think I may have a repro.

I think I've been able to replicate it. It happens when the first new post is by someone who is being ignored.

I got tired of all the spambots signing up, so I changed the Captcha to a question/answer type human verification. Let's see if that slows them down.
That makes sense. I'll look into it. Thanks.
That's accurate. Unfortunately for the pictures version of this problem, the cure would be worse than the disease, so I don't think that'll ever be fixed.
What exactly do the spam bots get from signing up and then not posting?![]()

There are many copies. And they have a plan
In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.
Some of them even take our shape, like Alpha and Being.

Well played
(Wraith said the bots put the websites they're advertizing into their profiles but don't post)

But if they don't post, no one will see their profile...They seem as bright as the '70s Cylons.![]()

I was going to say, I hadn't seen a single spam thread yet. Quite a relief following Atari.
Can we get a "who quoted me" feature or is that too hard to implement?
