    New Feature - Ignore Threads and/or Forums

    I'd like the ability to ignore a thread. If ignored, I want it omitted from the "What's New" page.

    It might be a few weeks before it goes live, most likely with the new themes and branding (which will also include the much desired like/dislike buttons ).
    Dammit, I want to "like" this post!

    I'm torn on a "like" option. It's nice to get a shiny red notification that your post was liked and enjoyed by all (and really, feedback that it was read), but my guess is that could be a distraction in a big boy forum like this.

    On the other hand, being a bit of a lurker myself, there's so many knowledgeable posts that I'd like to give a quick tip of my hat to, some funny 'uns too. Instead of making a post "hey, what you just said, I really found it useful" and/or....

    Yeah, it's easy to blow it off as a popularity contest feature, but I think it can be a good indicator that you're "doing it right" or not. I've helped implement it in other, more for funsies, forums and there's usually a mixed response to the idea (resistance to change and whatnot) but once done, few people really complain or care. Number of "likes" display can also be hidden until clicked on.

    Buuuut, I couldn't really say on this site as I'm on the fringe. Just follow your heart!!
