actual board suggestion:

Could we get an "are you sure" prompt when we logout? I am constantly accidentally hitting the Logout button on my phone and I hate having to log back in.

It sounds like the sort of thing you'd expect hear from a whinging nonentity with affluence issues... :D

Is it feasible to add an on/off button to each thread - "IGNORE THIS THREAD"

This would be useful in cases where, as unlikely as it seems, a person is busy chattering inane drivel to himself alone.

One does like to reduce the "Unread Posts" to zero on each visit - but one must click on the thread in order to make it open and then go away. This means the inane driveller thinks that he is getting lots of views - when it's just me avoiding viewing the damn thing at all

The same result can be achieved with the foe feature but the inane driveling poster may once in a while not totally slobber in a post in other threads. One doesn't want to avoid the wheat (a grain or two) in the mountain of chaff

I'm sure some folks would like to ignore threads that I start. I certainly would

I thought there was a "mark as read" option somewhere.

I guess you can't remember the title of threads that are full of inane drivel? Too many to count?

Maybe we can install a feature to mark threads with this:

It's not that. There's only one that's going on like bad case of dysentery. I like an empty "Unread Posts" page. And there's no way to achieve it without rewarding the arse with a "View". Another suggestion would be a newspaper so we can whack it on the nose. Hmm. .... a gif?

I'm gonna go out on a limb here Gen'l, and guess that just maybe it's this thread that has served as the inspiration for your request:

When I was younger I never thought I'd see the day when someone would complain about having to push a button (click) a couple extra times. But that's what the interworld has come to.

I understand why some people might not like what another person is posting or the style in which he posts but I don't believe that everything I don't like needs to have a mechanical fix.

But that's just me and if you don't like my opinions I can be placed on your foe list... :D

This thread is for suggestions for the board. Not for stupid discourse. There are places for that (take a number)
