Thanks dzungmobile, you are right. This part did not hit me
Welcome back.
Thanks Vod. Good to see you again.
Ignore doesn't seem to affect it, as I tried it out by ignoring a user and I could still see and interact with the thread they had started.
It's because of the specific use on my ignore list. I have tested it with some other users who are on my ignore list too. Perhaps you are missing something.
Thanks for the responses, especially thanks to dzungmobile.
