I'm no expert....but it seems that if you want to post an image, you need to delete anything after 'jpg' at the end of the url for the image. All I did was delete that stuff and up it came.

I theenk they are saying you ignore whoever you want to ignore.

Scotty, go to your profile. In the settings section, find the setting called self control. Click enable. Make sure you choose to remember this setting for next time.

Going by years of experience I would have to say that an ignore option would be pretty useless - especially if it worked the same way as it "works" in vBulletin forum software.

With vBulletin, if you put a poster on ignore, you don't see his/her posts but their posts are still visible when they've been quoted in subsequent replies.

And, with the way people here tend to go crazy with quoting posts, you'd almost have to close your eyes to avoid seeing the posts of someone on your ignore list.

Freediver's option is definitely the best. ;)

While your at it, you may also want to turn on your flame shield.

(Also from years of forum experience)...

With an ignore function, we would have people proudly proclaiming they have so-and-so on ignore.

Then, a short time later, the 'ignorer' starts replying to the 'ignoree's' posts once again. ::)

This also creates the added amusement of the 'ignoree' (and also third parties) chiming in with things like "Hey, I thought you said you had me on ignore?" ;D
