Quite a few years back I ignored a certain user. Today I was searching out a certain thread on equipment that I know exists and it came up with no results.
After changing my search parameters several times I had no luck but did eventually make the connection between several threads and a certain user. Once I un-ignored this user the thread I was originally looking for now showed in search along with several others where said user had posted but was NOT the original poster.
Past behavior would simply show a message like "You've chosen to ignore this user's content" where there would be a reply from the ignored user. Now the default behavior is to block the entire thread as if it doesn't exist.
An edit to this.
As a test I ignored users that were not the original poster in few threads and that user's post simply disappeared and the thread remained. What I noticed is that in threads where I ignore a user that is not the OP and that I have not posted in the thread remains but the ignored users post disappears but in threads where I ignore a user that I have posted in the behavior above takes place.
Another edit to this.
I just ignored a user who was not OP but posted in several threads that I have not posted in and all the threads disappeared. So it would appear the forum behavior when it comes to ignoring users is quite inconsistent.
@Abigail4476 or any staff member could one of you take a look at this and correct it?
