Ignore Threads
Considering world events it no surprise (nor a criticism on my part) to see a great proliferation of political/war threads in Random.

Sometimes it seems to be difficult to weed through the tangle of the majority of threads to find the few in which I am interested. Is there a function in place wherin a member can "ignore" threads, somewhat in the same way a member can be ignored, so that only threads of personal interest are listed? If not is it possible?

Careful! - next thing you know the folks 'upstairs' will be looking for an "Ignore Random" button...

Seriously, if the function is available - just not turned on - I think it would be a useful one to have.
If it requires Mike to do some hacking, I think there are probably better uses for his time.

Pyritechips,
Can you not just go to User Panel and click all subscribed threads, you go straight to the threads you are interested in don't you, or am I missing something here.

Regards
Chalky
