Was there really that much of a need to basically "block" someone you find annoying? I may not like someone's response on a post but I definitely wouldn't say I was annoyed by anything any one person ever posted to the point of not wanting to see any of their stuff. :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1702702 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:24:34 +0000 mrbee 1702702@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: we have gone back and forth on having a placeholder for muted comments! For now, we're trying it without one but may consider adding placeholders at a later point.</p> <p>@Anagram: yah exactly, the edit profile link will only show muted users if you've muted someone! You can visit someone's profile to mute them… </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1702691 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:19:08 +0000 Anagram 1702691@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: I might my dumb, but I followed that link and still don't see anything about muting. BUT, if I haven't muted anyone would there be anything there? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1702684 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 11:17:10 +0000 Anagram 1702684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: i can try to be super annoying today. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1702586 Mon, 16 Jun 2014 10:43:20 +0000 looch 1702586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, I checked it out and I have a suggestion, possibly. When you mute someone and they post in a thread, their post should have a placeholder, because it's a bit strange when you're reading and it goes from one poster to another and the muted poster posted and was @replied. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701655 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 15:24:42 +0000 Cherrybee 1701655@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Huh? Who said that? Bahahahahahaha!!!! </p> <p>There isn't anyone I want to mute...... but I want to try it out.....! Come on people, be more annoying!! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701535 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 13:08:32 +0000 Mrs. Confetti 1701535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrbee: Thanks!!!

I never intentionally muted anyone, but it is looking like I did (unless someone muted me... does this go both ways...?). Is there a way to look in my profile to see who is on mute?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701402 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 10:27:37 +0000 mrbee 1701402@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: there's definitely an incentive to be judicious in your use of mutes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701379 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 09:46:45 +0000 .twist. 1701379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So, threads are going to stop making sense if you use all your mutes and those people are active users? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701348 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:59:43 +0000 Dandelion 1701348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably won't use it, but I'm always impressed with the things you can do on this site. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701344 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 08:50:09 +0000 mrbee 1701344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@SweetiePie: you won't get the email notification! We stop those from going out if there's a mute in place... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701236 Sun, 15 Jun 2014 03:54:05 +0000 SweetiePie 1701236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tested and works for me (minimal testing though).<br /> I doubt I'll use it, just helping out with the testing (I can't help it, it's part of my job ;-) )</p> <p>What happens if someone I muted "replied" to me in a post? Either one I just commented on or one I started? I imagine that they still won't show up in your view (since that's the point of mute), but will you still get the email notification so that you know they did?<br /> Sorry if you already answered this somewhere else (like the big original thread, I only loosely watched that one). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701148 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 23:30:48 +0000 Boogs 1701148@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, so fast!

Just go edit your profile, and the links to muted users should be there... you can unmute them with a single click from their profile page! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701083 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:58:10 +0000 NurseMommy 1701083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can unmute people though right? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701043 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:13:13 +0000 mrbee 1701043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@swedishfish: I'm going to sticky all the due date and POAS threads to their respective forums shortly. I meant, if there's a new thread that needs to be stickied, let me know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1701028 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 21:05:24 +0000 swedishfish 1701028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So...basically if the POAS thread or due date thread you started is stickied then you know someone muted you? Or is it just stickied under your (the muter's) account?</p> <p>This makes me sad. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1700929 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 20:09:14 +0000 BSB 1700929@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool! Thanks for quickly working on this. I'll check it out.</p> <p>ETA-Worked for me! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1700925 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 20:07:42 +0000 autumnlove 1700925@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Tested! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1700842 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 19:00:28 +0000 sorrycharlie 1700842@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cool! Worked for me! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/new-feature-mute#post-1700826 Sat, 14 Jun 2014 18:43:22 +0000 mrbee 1700826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hey everyone - as mentioned earlier, we're doing a test run of a new mute feature!</p> <p>Here's how it works: when you visit someone's profile, you will see a link next to their username that says "(mute)". A quick example:</p> <p>[attach=1/14/n76n8b.250x87.Picture-8.png]</p> <p>Once you click it and mute a user, two things will happen:</p> <p>1. The topics that user has created will disappear from the main boards pages, such as here:</p> <p>* <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/</a> - the main boards page<br /> * <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/board/relationship" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/board/relationship</a> - specific forum pages</p> <p>2. Also, we were able to make it so that if you mute someone, their comments will also not appear when you visit a thread. For example, if you mute me and then visit this thread, you won't see my comment towards the bottom of the page:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-understand-montessori" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-feel-like-you-understand-montessori</a></p> <p>A few notes to keep in mind:</p> <p>* Anyone can mute anyone else (including me and Bee!), but there's a limit: you can only mute three users at a time. This will help us ease into the feature. You can see who you've muted when you edit your profile here:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/edit#mute" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/edit#mute</a></p> <p>* We ran into an issue during testing where if you muted someone but they had started a due date or POAS thread, you couldn't access that thread. To get around this, we built in a failsafe: if a thread is stickied, then it will always appear (even if you muted the OP). If you'd like a thread stickied, just email us at <a href="mailto:sticky@hellobee.com">sticky@hellobee.com</a>.</p> <p>* If you mute someone, the page numbers may be a little funky on threads from time to time For example, if there are 42 comments on a boards thread and you have muted me... well if I made 3 of those comments, then there will be a page 2 link on the page, but when you click on it, there won't be anything on that page. </p> <p>* Muting doesn't affect search results or profile pages or sidebar modules. Just the main boards page, and specific forum pages.</p> <p>Feel free to try it out! Please don't mention specific names of anyone you are muting, just out of respect for those users. Here's an old test account you can use to test out the mute/unmute process:<br /> <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/access" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/profile/access</a></p> <p>Please keep in mind that this is very much an experiment, and that we'll be monitoring how it goes over the next week or so before deciding how to proceed.</p> <p>Try it out and let us know if you have any questions or bug reports! </p>
