Ignore Thread

Prevent a thread from appearing in the thread list. Would be useful for forums with large amount of stickies that have been read. Could have an "hide unless updated" option?

+1 on this idea, nice idea this. Maybe make it so that you have to have x amount of posts before you can do it though - prevent someone with 2 posts blocking all the rules without reading them (not that they read them anyway .. but you know .. )

Sounds good.

What'd also be handy is if when you stick someone on ignore, threads they post don't appear.

The poor database.

It's a theoretically simple one which requires another table...

select * from thread where ..... threadid NOT IN (select threadid from userignoredthread WHERE userid = $userid)

It's a little bit more overhead on one of the heaviest-used queries though.

Afaik, threads by people you've ignored, don't appear.

Edit: Actually, they do.
