Why am I getting a message "you are ignoring this user"

[Trainfish]

Did someone say something?

Some members of the forum seem to ignore themselves

Thanks everyone I thought this was going to be one of those boring threads, it's been anything but.....keep safe everybody don't forget the goverment wants everyone to ignore everybody at the moment especially over Christmas.... Merry Christmas everyone.

Thanks Chris, and a Merry Christmas to you too!

Re: the ignore feature: even if I select 'Ignore' so that a post text in a thread gets replaced with the stock message, I still get the email in my Inbox (if it's a first posting on the thread since I last viewed it, of course) with all the full text displayed if I'm following a thread. Is there any way to prevent this?

@daffy It must be the way you have 'Notifications' set up on your profile, Mike.
Have a look and see if you can make the necessary change.

I wouldn't have thought the forum software was clever enough to do that - you actually want the email content 'censored' when you're ignoring the poster? Turn off notifications may be easier, if a bit blunt force.

[daffy]

Thanks Mick, I'll take a look at my settings tomorrow, but like Nick I don't think the software is that detailed. I wouldn't want to turn off notifications altogether. I'm only ignoring one poster so it's not a big deal.

I received this message once or twice and I've made no changes to settings. There must have been some adjustment to the software that has caused these messages to pop up.

No, it's just easy to accidentally click the "ignore" button when scrolling, particularly on mobile.

[Bealman]

Yes, I check the forum on my mobile frequently. I'm typing this on it now, actually!

It is quite easy to accidentally hit the ignore button.

Some posters need ignoring. 

But if you are reading this, I did not mean you.

The only post I have on ignore is today's groaner.......oh heck sorry that's you David @dannyboy ... only joking I don't ignore anybody on purpose......lol
