Belieeve me, I have read (and re-read) how to do this on my own, and there have been threads where peAple explain how, but I cannot get it to work!  Maybe it's not possible to block entire threads (NOT certain posters). I *thought* that you just had to block the Original Poster of the thread, but that doesn't work. |

I don't think you can block an entire thread. Even just blocking a person is limited. I can still see threads and posts, it just says "show post", so I don't have to actually read the garbage.

Nope, you cant block an entire group of threads (though, I wish I could!).

Also, in my experience viewing on the phone vs. on a computer the threads look different if it’s started by someone you have blocked.

You can’t block threads.
You can only block users.

You can block users and when the options box comes up you click ‘block threads by this user. ‘ the thread will not appear on the main page, but that is only on a desktop browser. Doesn’t hide it on a phone.

Arrgh!!! I checked my "privacy" settings in my profile, and I already have blocked 2 members (who've started GAMES threads) --it says I will NOT see their threads, but I still do. **GypsyGirl** cadoodlebugThere's something I'm not understanding---why are my blocked users' game threads still showing when they were the OP and I have them blocked? (and I mostly only use desktop, not phone). I have tried MANY things, and nothing works. What does "options" box mean? |

It’s a free site and we get what we pay for, I guess. |

So that may be why. Eta make sure you aren't on the mobile version on your PC |

Can you delete a comment? As I think I'm going crazy of reading a comment and now it's gone. Just curious.

Arrgh!!! **GypsyGirl** cadoodlebug There's something I'm not understanding---why are my blocked users' game threads still showing when they were the OP and I have them blocked? (and I mostly only use desktop, not phone). Had to search for the old post where I detailed how to do this. Here is the method that works for me. Hope you can get it to work for you. ETA: This method has only worked on my computer and in desktop view on my iPad browser. It does not work on iPhone, even when in desktop mode on the browser. |

I tried the above method but had problems trying to remove them to try to get the thread option to pull up. By hitting F5 in the Privacy Settings option it loaded the "Block this member's threads" options for ALL of the people on my block list. Whew, thanks!
ETA: This was on my desktop AND don't forget to click "Save" at the bottom. :X
ETA 2: Now the post shows "The creator of this thread is on your block list." but no thread. Thanks so much!!!

ETA: This was on my desktop AND don't forget to click "Save" at the bottom. :X That is good to know. I'm thinking that there should be a thread pinned on the Admin & Support board. My first post on how to do this dates back to 2016 and as far as I can tell it's never been pinned as a how to. admin - would it be possible for me to start a thread on this topic and have it pinned? Thank you. ETA 2: Now the post shows "The creator of this thread is on your block list." but no thread. Thanks so much!!! Glad you got it to work.  |
