What is the difference between the Edit, and Edit Source buttons?

They both seem to do the same thing, do we need the Edit Source button, if so why?

I can remove the ignore buttons if we don't want them. I have to tell you the ignore feature is buggy anyway, and sometimes it's a visit into the database to remove members accidentally kicked into ignore.

I'm happy if the Ignore buttons go.

Can we have a Recent button showing in all forms not just the top level?

Yes we need both as it allows the showing of some extra content of the post.

I have been wondering what the purpose was for these two buttons and wonder why we need them. The friends button turns into a popularity contest and the ignore is rude.

I see no value in either.

You can ignore this post if you disagree. :rofl:

I agree wholeheartedly Gary, and no, I won't ignore you!


I think the two buttons 'Ignore' and 'Friend' are intended for a much larger, different kind of forum.

I agree, and particularly browsing on an iPad or phone are too easy to hit in error.

So please Steve or JK unless there is some compelling reason for them to stay, will you remove the 'Add a friend' and 'Ignore' buttons from the forum screens at your convenience.

Yes I think we have space and need for a 'Report!' button that sends email to forum moderators with a link to the offending post.


Can that be done at the same time as removing the 'Friend' buttons? It might be useful one day, although now we have some defences from Spammers and two more active mods perhaps it isn't really needed.

If a report button were added it would be better in a less conspicuous place as it was on the old forum, It doesn't need to be top centre.

I really only suggested a "Report" button because, despite the quality of moderators, getting a first offending post in is relatively easy. This forum relies on an assumption that everyone is legit until proved otherwise. A report button allows us all to be responsible for spotting things that we don't want.

If I want to ignore someone I simply don't read what they post, not that there is anyone here that I would apply that to, so the button is, for me at least, pointless.
