Just curious if there is a way to ignore an entire thread topic.....like Games, Politics, Self Promotion, etc. Or do I have to ignore each thread within the topic individually?
Threads and topics? Yeah, right! Let's face it... you want me to be invisible to you. That’s cool, though. I’ve always wanted a superpower. :)

Noooooo! I don't want anyone to be invisible.....how would I be able to jab you with my pointy stick? :p
I was just thinking that it would be easier if I could ignore an entire topic, rather than open certain threads and get all riled up after reading them......

There isn't a way to put an entire forum on ignore that I'm aware of but Jordan may be able to answer this for you. You can, however, get them out of your New Posts queue without reading them by clicking on the forum title, e.g. Games and then clicking on Mark Forums Read. You'll then get a choice to delete just that forum or Mark all forums read and poof, all the new/unread posts are out of your queue. It would look like this:

Thanks! That's what I thought, but figured I'd ask in case there was a trick I didn't know about.

I opened the threads I didn't want to view anymore and hit the ignore thread thingy without reading anything below the title.
