    I see there is a way to watch forums - is there a way to do the opposite, ignore all posts in a forum that does not interest me?

    It appears that only cancels watching. I wish to ignore, so they will not show up in "New Posts" for example.

    I would appreciate it, as the number of "off topic" forums on the site appears to be growing. It would help in separating the wheat from the chaff.

    Let me know if I've got everything enabled for you guys. You should see new ignore options.

    The only issue I see is that now, to see new posts, one has to click more since the new posts button is hidden and not right where it used to be. It used to be right at the top, and I think most people would say that finding new posts is more important and used feature than ignoring a couple threads.

    This has got to be for a minority of devices, I can't recreate it on any of mine. I think this is a problem that will work itself out as smaller screened devices disappear.

    :headbang: IPhone 5 here and the "watched threads" button was always convenient.

    I see why some like this feature but I miss my most used button.:tears:

    Guess it's time to give this phone to the wife and upgrade.:whistle: :rofl: :lol:

    I just shorted the phrases a bit, ex. "Forums You Ignore" to "Ignored Forums." See if that helps any.

    Can you make "new post" the first one in that list. I think it is the most popular by several to one.

    It's fixed now, this is a bigger screened phone.

    Anyone object to me removing the "Search Forums" text-- we already have the search box on the right.
