Ignore button

An ignore button is on the todo list, but there's no schedule at the current time. If there were a lot of demand for it I'd probably implement it sooner rather than later. I understand the comments about it not being a good EvC Forum feature, but it is a common discussion board feature, so it's on my list of future dBoard features.

You have no idea how much I want to be able to do this, but it isn't easy to do. Because of security concerns browsers are no longer able to copy text to the clipboard, so you would have to highlight the number and hit Ctrl-C yourself, but this isn't possible with the way hoverboxes are currently implemented.I had a solution implemented a couple years ago using Flash capabilities, but then new browser versions were introduced that closed that security hole. There are new Flash capabilities I could take advantage of, but the browsers will close those off, too, so there's no point. I continue to explore possibilities, and enhancing hoverbox capabilities is one of them.It might seem that copying *to* the clipboard (as opposed to from) shouldn't be a security issue, but once copying to the clipboard is possible then shenanigans might be accomplished by instructing the (potentially naive) user to perform the paste operation.

I regret to say that I haven't made any progress on features in quite some time. I'm in the middle of implementing templating right now which is proving to be a bit of a rough slog.

Three or four years ago I had drag and drop of forum, thread and message numbers implemented, but browsers closed the security hole that made it possible before I could release it.
