thread block idea???

can there be a way/is there a way…

if i read thru a thread and realize that i dont wnat to keep seeing it that i can block it?

like political thread i can care less about and other things like honda ones blah blah blah… i dont wnat to keep seeing them pop up when i hit new posts. i usually look thru it once and done with it? id imagine this would take alot of bandwith but i was just wondering. :naughty:

I have no clue how this could be done.

well get on it mr computer nerd… pay with those millions that you are making to get it done… think it could be an idea? i mean atleast think about it?

  1. Create or use an existing backend SQL database that has a table called “Users” with primary row key name varchar “userID” and a related item varchar field called “threadID”.

  2. Add button to a thread header called “block this thread” or something.

  3. wire up button to tell database to ‘enter this thread’s “threadID” and set it to “invisible” for that userID in table Users’.

  4. At the time where it’s about to render the page for that user, php query
    SELECT * FROM Users where userID=[that guy’s userID]

  5. If threadID is in the table for that user, do not render that table entry/line of html in the search or forum thread overview page.

  6. provide button in control panel “remove my stored list of invisible threads” which removes all the rows from table Users where userID=[that guy’s userID]

done! This should be working for all users now…

yeah I could do that, but really I don’t have the time anymore to work on pittspeed like I used to. I know I suck

put certain members on ignore and most bs threads will go away…not to be funny but its true
