Ignored threads will occasionally not hide

[wunderwhat]

Hi all,

I have ignored many threads over the years, and when I found the "Hide" option for the latest updates page, I was excited to see them gone for good. However, I occasionally see a thread I am ignoring populate in the latest updates like it is a thread I have not ignored. That is, it is fully visible and shows no indication that it is already ignored. When I change the setting back to "Transparent," the thread will become grayed out, but when I change it back to "Hide," it goes back to looking like an unignored thread. When I unignore and then reignore the thread, it will disappear after a refresh of the latest updates page. It happens intermittently, not to every thread I have ignored, and I'm not sure what causes it. I have seen this on both Firefox and Floorp (a Firefox fork).

Anyone else run into this issue or have any ideas what I can change on my end?
Thanks

Yes and yes:

Also somewhere is a setup for adblocker that filter them out, but I don't know where.

I see. Sorry for making a new thread. Thanks for your help.

I'm glad you did. Only just discovered the feature myself and had the exact same issue

I made a feature request to see if a blur can be done on ignored threads client-side. Hopefully, it can be.

You know the difference between server-side and client-side, right?
The admins can only create/fix/manage features on server-side.
You, the client, can only create/fix/manage features that are client-side.

I mean like the "Transparent" option. The "Hide" option limits to 1000 threads because the server has to re-paginate. Transparent works on all ignored threads because the pagination unchanged (I think).

Sorry for the confusion.

It is highly unlikely that anything is going to happen with the hide/transparency of the Latest Updates until after the new UI is in place - whenever that is. Also, your request has already been addressed by the site administrator in the two posts that c3p0 linked for you:

The fully hide feature only works for the first 1000 ignored threads.

Hiding more than 1000 threads really goes beyond what the ignore feature is intended for, you shouldn't really be using it to ignore every single thread on the site except a small selection - the bookmark feature will be expanded so you'd be able to use that instead so it's inclusionary rather than exclusionary.

You'll still be able to use the current transparent mode if you really want to ignore thousands of games. It's not some arbitrary limit, it's there to prevent particularly intensive database queries. Perhaps in a future revision 1000+ ignore list support will be added, but as there is only ~20 active users who have ignore lists that large, it isn't worth development time adding support.

The current codebase is frozen whilst the new version of the site is worked on, in the future it'll fallback to transparent if there are >1000 ignored threads, I'll also be experimenting with increasing the limit when we move to the new database setup, but we'll have to see.

Hello again, I found this post from dusty stu that solved this. I was able to do it in Ublock Origin

Hey all
for firefox

1. DL adblock plus
2. go to advanced settings
3. make a new rule (custom filter)
4. enter: ' ##.resource-tile_ignored '
5. -> add filter
6. done. no more ignored content

1. Open Ublock Origin Dashboard
2. Got to "My Filters"
3. enter: ' ##.resource-tile_ignored '
4. Apply
5. Refresh latest updates

I did this in Floorp (A Firefox fork). Let me know if you need help setting it up.

It works, but seems a bit non-specific?
I can't imagine this is the only website on the internet using resource-tiles.
Any way to make it specific to f95, or am I misunderstanding something?

PS:

Just throwing this here in case others come across the same issue, add

f95zone.to##.resource-tile_ignored

to Ublock Origin filters (click extension icon -> cogs -> my filters)

Then change your "Ignored threads" setting to transparent on this site

When viewing through latest games & updates (which is what I use 99% of the time) it'll hide your ignored posts and not leave any funky gaps

Since it's hiding ignored posts instead of filtering them out fully, it doesn't load as many, but that's a small price to pay imo

I do wonder, the difficulty of paginating when people ignore too many threads may be what it is, but what about increasing the items per page number to somethng huge like say 300? So that the people who enjoy mass-ignoring can still have a full front page. The 90 we have is already pretty good, but is there a reason to stop there?

prepend it with f95zone.to
f95zone.to##.resource-tile_ignored

it's in the second post you quote. unless this is you answering your own question.

I have answered my own question, yes, before I got another question.
