Hiding threads

Hi! I remember that this site had a special option that would hide any thread that the user didn't want to see anymore. I think this tool should be available again so I can focus only on the threads that I'm really interested in.

Checking or unchecking the option does not "hide" the thread. For the author of the thread the default setting is to "watch this thread" (box checked). For everyone else the default setting is to "not watch the thread" (box unchecked).

If the option is checked you will receive emails notifying you when additional replies have been left.

Unchecking the box does not hide the thread from your view on the list of threads.

/Oh, thanks! Can it be done Antoine's way?

I actually think that is what he was talking about: turning off the email notices for those questions that you no longer wished to follow, allowing you to concentrate on the one that you do wish to monitor.

The only way that I can think of that you could actually hide the titles of threads from your view is to use a different tab than the De Moda tab. If, for example, you chose to use Mis Respuestas tab you would only see the threads that you have replied to and all the other would be hidden from your view. Or you can choose a specific category and hide all of the others.

Hi again! I wasn't talking about turning off the e-mail notices for that e-mails that I don't want to follow smile I meant hiding any thread I want on the main list of any category where I am. For example, if anyone just didn't like my threads or any thread of mine then that person could have an option to hide them.

There was a time (back when this site had "friends") that you could "block" members so that you would not see their posts, but don't think that it is possible any more. I think we are supposed to be a little more tolerant now and just act civilly. If I don't like your threads then I should just ignore them. Your avatar clearly depicts which questions or answers belong to you. I would just overlook them.

Of course, Heidita is exempt from being courteous. If she doesn't like your threads, you're out the door. And she probably won't wait to hand you your hat.

It's good to be the queen.

I'll try to explain how hiding threads would be useful, guessing that "Hot Answers" is showing 20 threads if I hide some which I'm not interested in at all and that are frequently on the "top" then I could see some of the threads listed on a second group and answer them more quickly... that could catch my attention and I wouldn't leave the website... smile

The hidden threads only would be hidden for the user that check them, but visible for anybody else. - AntMexico, Feb 4, 2011
Have you left Site feedback to the staff? They encourage suggestions of this type. There is a contact link on the home page. - 0074b507, Feb 5, 2011
