Is there a block fx anymore?

Can we block posters anymore?

I haven't tried this, but I believe you block a person by making him a "foe." The "Add foe" tool is in the profile of the member you'd like to block. The profile is accessed by clicking on his username wherever it appears on the board.

 

I believe that someone mentioned blocking recently, so it's possible that someone can chime with specifics on how to do this. I'll experiment with the feature when I have a little more time.

"Add foe"? What an apt turn of phrase.

I still haven't tried adding a foe, but this comes from the FAQ:

 

» What are my Friends and Foes lists?

You can use these lists to organise other members of the board. Members added to your friends list will be listed within your User Control Panel for quick access to see their online status and to send them private messages. Subject to template support, posts from these users may also be highlighted. If you add a user to your foes list, any posts they make will be hidden by default.

 

» How can I add / remove users to my Friends or Foes list?

You can add users to your list in two ways. Within each user’s profile, there is a link to add them to either your Friend or Foe list. Alternatively, from your User Control Panel, you can directly add users by entering their member name. You may also remove users from your list using the same page.

The link to manage friends and foes is in the User Control Panel sidebar. Here's the foe management page (accessible as long as you're logged in).
