Recently and quite by accident I found out that someone has me on ignore and the way I found out seems to me to work against the spirit of how I think the ignore function should work.
What I believe should happen, is that, people that have a person on ignore disappear from that persons feed. One does not receive any indication that one is ignored.
So what happened was I was browsing on the Community page as is my wont and I spotted that a thread I was watching had a new post. I clicked on the thread and was taken to a blank page with no posts.
I though that, that was odd and reloaded the page. No posts. I backed out and the tread said n pages last post So&So
So I went to page n-1 and looked at the posts no So&So, I clicked on the next page and blank page. It then occurred to me that some one might have me on ignore and I logged out and went back the thread looked at page n and sure enough there was a post from So&So
This strikes me as contrary to the intent of the ignore system, I should have been sent to the last post I should have been allowed to see (the one on page n-1) and I would have never noticed.
I do not know if this is a bug or an oversight but I though it was worth mentioning and letting the site administration know. I hope this is the correct place to do it.
