Title: It could be cool to be able to ignore / mute a topic
Post by: paid2 on January 28, 2023, 07:59:04 AM
It could be very nice to be able to mute a topic

I always use the "Show new replies to your posts" link at the top, trying to follow some topics. But even when I click on "unwatch", the topic continues to come again and again in "Show new replies to your posts"

Any way to avoid it ?

1. Go to watchlist.
2. Edit Watchlist.
3. Select the topic you want to remove and remove them form watchlist.

Is that what you are looking for? I'm not sure but seems like this is what you need. I haven't used the option ever if I'm correct, just tried to from one topic from Show new replies list and it worked.

There's your mistake :P I did that too, until I read this:
I don't understand why anyone would not use the watchlist. You can configure the watchlist to be exactly the same as "show new replies to your posts" by configuring your posts to be auto-watched (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;sa=notification) and adding your posted-in topics to your watchlist (https://bitcointalk.org/watchlist_posts.php). After this is done, you can unwatch topics that you don't want to see.

If I click Show new replies to your posts. (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=unreadreplies) after years of using Watchlist (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=watchlist), it looks terrible!

Thank you very much to both of you!

This is exactly what I was looking for, I don't know why I had never actually seen Watchlist until now! This is going to be so much more comfortable ;D ;D ;D

I can guess: without following theymos' instructions, it was empty and didn't look very useful.
