Hiding threads

[tobyleaf]

I don't know if there is a way to prevent a thread from coming up in 'View unread posts'. I had to look at a thread today to get it out of my unread posts because just seeing the title was upsetting me. I feel like a really helpful thing would be if there could be a way to permanently hide threads like that or block them, because it will come up again if anyone posts on it.

Seconding this; I don't know if it's possible, but it would be excellent, if so.

I'll take a look around. Last time I looked for a plugin for this, I didn't find anything I could use. But it's on my list of things to work on!

I'm having the same issue. If hiding threads won't work, is there a possibility of a way to mark a thread as read without actually having to open it up, which would help a little?

Me too. There are some topic I'd like to hide because of lack of interest and now a few because titles are triggering. Thanks.

Until this is looked after you could hide post or threads that are older then a preset amount via the user control panel. you can also use the mark forum as read button available on the main forum page (http://friendsofcaptainawkward.com/forum/index.php

Any news on this front? One of the current popular thread titles is one of my nightmares and even if I click on it to go away it always comes back when someone posts. *shudder*

This is something that is technically difficult, and none of the plugins seem to work; I don't think I'm going to be able to do it. I'm sorry about that. I'm able to figure a lot of things out, but I'm not a software engineer.

All I can say is, take care of yourself first. If you have to leave the board, or avoid that forum, for a while, do what you need to do to take care of you.

Thanks for the update and the support, carbonatedwit! Thankfully the thread died :)
