I just noticed something different about this software. It's not a complaint; it's simply an observation and information that others may or may not want to know (if they haven't figured out themselves already.)
If you have anyone on Ignore, their name will always appear as "Ignored Member" when looking at a list of threads and that person was the last one to post. If you click on the thread, there will be no evidence of them. Even if someone quotes a post from Ignored Member in a reply, the quote will not show up. The Ignored Member is completely erased, the only evidence being a small note below the last message on that page that says "Show ignored content."
Previously, there would be a post, but the content of the post was hidden. Just a box with "You have ignored So-and-so. Do you want to show content?" or something like that. The effect was that you could block the message but be shown that the person posted (and who it was) and so if there is a later post by someone else that references that post, you could at least figure out that it's referring to a message that you have blocked.
I was just reading a thread and saw a string of posts that made no sense at all. I had no idea that there were posts from people I have on Ignore until I saw that little grey "Show ignored content." I clicked on it because I was curious to see how it works, and that's when I saw that not only is the original post hidden, but it's hidden even when quoted in replies. And then I realized that the posts that I did see made no sense because they were replies to posts that I couldn't see at all and didn't even know were there.
