Blocking users so that we can't see the threads they post or where they've been quoted would also be super appreciated.
Some users like to clutter up sections with useless topics.
I think that is not possible as of this moment. If implemented, this could save time on managing ignore list.
Due to sig spammers blowing out my ignore list to ridiculous proportions (1,253 users and rising), the new forum needs ways to make extremely large ignore lists a little less unmanageable. A search feature would be indispensable, along with being able to add or remove multiple users without displaying the whole list, since loading my entire ignore list takes absolutely forever. The ability to add reminders of why I ignored a particular user would also be useful.
Also, will the new forum bring back ignore button highlighting?
Have you tried Ctrl + F in searching someone on your ignore list? I agree that a separate search feature for the ignore list alone would help save the time of people who have a long list of ignores, though I think it is not necessary in this forum to have one.
