Major Changes: Filtering/Hiding/Ignore

The "Filter" feature has been radically changed. The changes include the following:

1. It is now available to Free members.

2. It is possible, at your discretion, to also filter messages that are written in Reply to people on your Filter List.

3. When you click "Hide This Poster" in a member's profile, your Filtering is automatically enabled at the same time. This reduces the frequency with which you'll have to use http://www.investorshub.com/boards/filters.asp (Tools->My Filters)

4. My Filters screen simplified somewhat. Each line that displays your filter status is now a link that toggles that status on or off. If the line says the status is enabled, clicking it will toggle it to disabled and vice-versa.

Some caveats are in order:

1. If you've disabled your filtering, using the "Hide This Poster" method to add a filter will toggle your filter back on.

2. Filtering of replies to specific posters is not poster-specific. Whew! Even I don't understand what I just said. Put another way, if you enable the filter of Replies to filtered people, Replies to *everyone* on your filter list will be filtered out. You can't, for example, hide my posts and the replies to them while hiding Matt's posts but not the replies to them.

3. If you don't wish to view Replies to your hidden posters, you still need to go to the Tools->My Filters screen and toggle the "Responses To Filtered People Not Filtered" link. It is off by default.

4. Most Importantly: This is a temporary/test thing in two ways:

1. If it doesn't prove to be a complete solution to the problem it is intended to address, I'll back out this feature.

2. If the overhead on the system proves to be too great, I'll have to revert it to being a Premium feature.

Also, if too much conversation takes place along the lines of "Filter out so-and-so" or "Nyah, nyah, nyah. I've got you filtered now.", I'll remove the feature as it'll be contributing to disruptiveness in the boards.
