You already have the basic function in the Subscriptions list.

I don't understand. That has nothing to do with whether threads show up in the New Posts screen.

Are you looking for a way to UNsubscribe from threads so they don't show in your Subscribed Threads list? That's a whole different question.

Nope. I can already unsubscribe from that list, but that same type of functionality could be used on ALL threads to allow the user the option to 'hide' a specific thread. I'm sorry, my programming expertise is very limited and I do not hang out on other VBulletin boards much. But, Walgreens lets me 'hide' my old prescriptions.. lol.

Leatha, have you ever seen a "hide this thread" option on a VBulletin board? We don't even know if it's technically possible. Alex, is it?

If it is, that seems like the best option to me. And even the poor newbies who are apparently so unable to look after their own interests without protection, even they should be able to quickly learn how to hide a thread. Even lowly newbies should be able to do that.

But then again, if it is technically impossible, then that's just how it goes.

If we ever can hide threads, I'm going right for that American Idol thread. I am deeply offended by it. Every time I even see those words "American Idol" I feel a projectile PB starting to generate and work its way to the surface. I am deeply offended by American Idol.

That makes three of us. You will never see my sheltered, easily offended little self in the American Idol thread.

I'm getting a bit worried here, Mark. This is the second thing in like 36 hours that we've agreed on. Next thing you know, we'll be LB support buddies.

The "hide thread" feature has been added. You'll see "Ignore this thread" in the Thread Tools drop down. You can manage your ignored threads right from your CP.

Oprah's Weigh Loss Tips, Mini-Gastric Bypass, and New Weight Loss Camp....those are the ads when I click on this thread. I don't see the connection to the LB, but I at least like Oprah. The MGB guy, I don't like. He's the one who posted the very negative video on youtube.com about "failed" Lap Band procedures. I think anything to do with the MGB should be banned from LBT. Just my shiny dime's worth.

It's getting scary around here.

Exactly. People act like it's so freakin' difficult to ignore a thread. It isn't hard at all. You just don't click on it whenver you see it pop up. Even those poor newbies can figure it out. Heck, even I figured it out. There are lots of threads here that I am not interested in.

Unfortunately, Alex, people still aren't going to be happy that you are doing so much for us.

Thank you. Your patience threshold is unbelievable. My DH would, by now, have thrown in the towel and shut down the whole site....just to teach us a lesson. You are sooooooooo much calmer than the average man. Are you on some really good drugs, Alex?
