I've had this thought for a while now - would it be possible to have separate ignore functions for the classifieds and forums? Hear me out - there is a local seller who lists hundreds of ads in the classifieds and when I do a local search, I want to exclude his ads for obvious reasons. However, by ignoring him, he is also not allowed to PM me. I know him personally and don't want to block his PMs (I don't dislike the guy or anything).

This is possible with some work.

Does anyone else this would be a nice to have?

I think this would work well.
Ignore a person in the forum, but not in the classifieds.

Or vice-versa, which is what I'd like to do.

I'd be interested in having this feature as well, since there are some people whose ads I really don't want to see when I am searching for stuff in AL, but I don't want to ignore them in the forums....

Ok, I'll work on it soon.

Ok, it's up.

To start out with, I added everyone who is in your ignore list into your Classifieds Ignore list so you may want to add/remove people.

Everything is in your Control Panel There is a new link there called Classifieds ignore list.

Add/Remove from your Classifieds ignore list is on the individual user's profile screen, same as the old ignore.

The Forums ignore won't let you ignore moderators or admins. You can ignore their ads in the Classifieds.

Damn, Everett...you rock.

I fully expected to have to write an envisioning document and then have the idea reviewed by the Project Steering committee, and finally (if approved) have resources and a PM assigned only to have the project eventually canceled. Damn, I need to get out of the corporatosphere. :D

so this only works on searches?

Yes, it's only for searches, not the general listings.
