How is this done? I cannot get it to work, either on my site or here on wedge.org. When I click the Ignore link I am taken to *my* profile, but there is no change to the topics to which the member has posted :hmm: Am I doing something wrong or is this a new bug?

IMHO it's WIP. Buddy lists are disabled at this time. And ignore will make use of it's function too.

No, the feature isn't broken, it's just disabled... It's part of "contact lists" in the previous SMF terminology, and members were complaining that it was confusing, so I just disabled everything related to lists (buddies and ignore lists.)
I'm planning to restore functionality before we go beta, but it's not an absolute priority for me.
One of the problems I've been having with ignore lists, is that they're fundamentally not the same as the new contact list system's ignore lists.
The former allows you to hide messages from people you don't like.
The latter allows you to prevent specific people from seeing things you post to a specific contact list, EVEN if this person is part of that list. (e.g. you have a "friend" list, but you don't want to let your mother, who's also a friend, know anything private that you say to your friends, so...)
It's similar to the Facebook system, really. But it's not ignore lists as in SMF, which is why I'm leaving all of this aside for now.

OK gotcha. Perhaps the contact ignore could be 'exclude' to avoid confusion? I think the word is clearer because someone is not including the contact rather than not listening to him/her.

I was never comfy with the word ignore. Makes sense.
My first thought though, was to automatically ignore posts from people who are 'ignored' but also not in another of your lists.

So if you Ignore a member's posts it won't take effect if they are in one of your contact lists? (Wedge will ignore the ignore :angel: )
