I notice that when I put someone on ignore, their avatar still shows up as the thread creator and on the home page. Is there a way to block these without turning avatars completely off? Two of the people on my ignore list are there partly due to their avatars which I don’t wish to see anymore. ---

I’d answer you but I’m afraid you won’t see it. ---

Do you have an ad blocker? You could just block the avatar image. ---

It’s true that I don’t like coffee but I don’t mind your avatar! ---

I do not yet. I may do so just for this purpose. ---

Your entire ignore list carried over? I know mine didn’t, have to readd people one. at. a. time, again… ---

> [@AlsoNamedBort](#): > > Do you have an ad blocker? You could just block the avatar image.  That’s what I do. IIRC, you have to block two avatars–one in the “who posted” list, and one from their profile. But there were only a couple of people on my list who weren’t already suspended or banned, so I’ll just leave mine as empty for now. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Your entire ignore list carried over? I know mine didn’t, have to readd people one. at. a. time, again… It did not. Hopefully there will be a lot of names unneeded to add back most of which were probably socks anyway.
