Huh

If her name was really Blewyah she couldn't be ignored because she probably would have developed large pistol grip ears over time. You get someone like that in your car going down the highway with the windows open, they start flapping, you can't ignore that, especially if you're in charge of the windows.

Are those anti stump baby tools?

Seems sad in a way, like the end of an era. Sigh ....

OP didn't name anyone.  If you think it's you, then you must think some people might be tired of some of your posts. You can change that or not.  Some people might block you and you won't know it, who cares.

You are putting off a high school teacher vibe here, lol “If you think it’s you”  I remember side eying my buddy's and we were all thinking it was us. 

and  why are we glorifying post counts. Get rid of them completely. Time on site is the only somewhat important metric but even that’s not really useful.

@dmourati, I downloaded the pkg given in the first link, which included two files that looked like "Terminal" code for MacOS, the download button also promised a "README" instruction file, but that never arrived.  I've successfully loaded a couple Mac Extensions before but never a plugin; stumbling into Terminal without written instructions is a recipe for disaster for me (I'm called botch for a reason).  Any hints?
 
Otherwise, I'll futz with it a bit more and then delete everything, try the second link.  TIA!

@Botch I think it's meant to be applied to the vanilla forum, not your browser.  Buffalo has to do it.

Thank you.  That makes more sense.  
@Buffalo, count this as one vote to do so.  TIA.

Along with all other requests, suggestions, and demands. It’s almost like they don’t give a hoot!

If you want their attention, you have to call them aholes.  Trust me on this. 

i dont really see much problem, i can ignore when i want to. this goes back to the mid to late 80's when the millers designed their own forum before the bge funding and finally the big   takeover.  way before the nightmare called vanilla...cant blame the buffalo, he is a newbie in retrospect

I thought ignoring was pretty much self imposed 

Agreed. I've never found it difficult to ignore certain individuals, posts, or threads.

I do have sympathy tho for those folks that are apparently required to read every post/thread.

Different people process the forum in different ways.  I personally don't have any issues skipping past responses I want to ignore, but I can appreciate the utility of not even having to think twice.  Or if you simply wanted to block someone who was harassing you.

If it's an option in vanilla, why not provide it?  People can take it or leave it as needed.  Seems pretty easy to me.
