New Feature: Message Filtering
We now have the beginnings of a Message Filtering system.
And I do mean "the beginnings". A lot more work went into it than is apparent from what's enabled so far, but we've got a functional part, so I'm rolling it out.
If you are a subscriber, you can block messages from specific people when you're reading messages in batch mode (aka "Next 10").
Their messages will (currently) still appear in a board's message list and when you read messages one at a time, but it's a start.
To use Message Filtering, go to the Tools screen, then select the My Filters link.
I think it'll probably be self-apparent how to use it.
Message-Filtering is intended to be a Premium feature, but non-subscribers can currently get to it to check out the interface. It has no effect for non-subscribers, though.
The little bit that's implemented so far only works in Batch mode, which is a Premium feature anyway.
Edit: Whoops! It's not all that self-apparent actually.
In the "Criteria" column enter the ID numbers of the people whose posts you wish to hide. For example, "6748" to hide my posts. "6748 2744" to hide mine and Matt's.
If you're not sure what someone's ID number is, you can go to any message to or by them and click on their name. The ID number is the last thing in the URL.
