My wife Shannon and I own the forum...and receive much appreciated assistance from the mods!
To put someone on your ignore list, click on 'Settings' at the top of the page. Then, on the left hand side, you'll see 'Edit Ignore List.' Click on that, type in the username, and viola!

Do you mean "owner" or the webmaster, and/or the administrators and moderators? The forum is owned by Treefrog Treasures, which is a collectibles shop. You can click the link in the forum masthead, to transition to the shop's website.
As far as ignoring another member goes, you can do this through your user profile. However, the functionality of the Ignore feature is such that it does not completely hide the posts by the selected member. His posts, and his threads, will still display in your lists, but instead of seeing the content, you'll see a note that the thread/post has been marked as ignored.
At least, that's the way it used to work. Now you've made me curious to see how it works in the current version of the website.

OK, I just doublechecked, I put you on my ignore list (temporarily).
I went to your profile, and there was an enabled link to add you to my ignore list.
But as I said before, it really doesn't work the way you might expect, that is, it doesn't hide the threads or posts. They still appear, you just can't see the text. There is also a link in the "ignored" post, to view the post and to remove the member from your ignore list. I always thought, if you really wanted to ignore a user, you wouldn't want to see his threads/posts at all.
Anyway, hope that helps, prost!

The other Brad reporting in :smile2: Although you can use the ignore function, as the Baron has said, it just shows deleted text and makes a thread look choppy. My recommendation would be just not to look at the posts of the person you would like to ignore.

Simply don't read or react to whoever it is you want to ignore.
There is a forum feature where the forum can set it so that two people can't see each others posts. Can be quite irritating as lose the flow of a thread (or so I understand ^&grin).

There was a bit of a glitch, he had posted but it didn't show up to anyone but the moderators.

That's a much better response than just using the tired, old computer error excuse.

If a poster irritates you the mature thing is to move on and not respond. Don't let him get to you Rather go home lock yourself in a dark room and brood endlessly, try and track down his/her ip address buy a high powered hunting rifle..etc etc

^&grin Well, that too with the kind of food they have here, "looks like muddy water, tastes like turpentine"^&grin. But yeah, my way of lamenting the destruction of the Coldstreamers this past year.
