Let's see...

Ah, it works! When right-clicking an image, I was selecting "copy link" instead of the less-used "copy image link" further down the right-click menu. @Papy Oli Thank you for your help.

Is it possible to put a whole thread on ignore? I'm not talking about ignoring everybody in a thread. Just making one thread invisible that constantly shows up in the new posts that I have exactly 0 interest in continuing to see.

I don't think there's any way, but I thought I would ask.

I don't think so.

Click the "No Alerts or Emails" button, then select "Not Following" from the drop-down menu.

I will give that a go, thanks.

Yes, thankfully the newer version of the software let's you remove something from the "Updated Topics" list if that's the one you're referring to. Saying you're not following it anymore definitely works.

I normally default to "unread posts", but I am guessing that's worked for me, too. So far my test thread has not reappeared, and I know it has new posts.

I wish TC had this option for all those doggone game threads.  :P

Ever since the creation of the Havergal Brian thread, many have asked that question! >:D

Perhaps that will be my test subject.  :laugh:

Good point. *searches for it, to block*  :P

So far, the "trick" is working as advertised. The thread is not invisible - I can easily see it by going to that forum section. It simply doesn't show in unread/updated. Perfect.  ;D

That's a luxury we moderators cannot permit ourselves.  ;) . We can't even make an exception with the Brian thread...

H. Brian had a cat?  If so, I might have to check out his music.  ;)

I didn't know about this trick before, I'm going to love this...
