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] ---

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 ---
