I have a small (but exclusive 🙂 ) Ignore List. When I view a thread in which that member has posted, I see that they have posted but the content is invisible. Is it possible to disappear them more thoroughly so I don’t even see that they’ve posted? ---

That can be done with browser add ons. Here’s one for Chrome: [https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vbulletin-super-ignore-hi/ofknlcbgndkfidhnflccifbkmipcapnh?hl=en-GB](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/vbulletin-super-ignore-hi/ofknlcbgndkfidhnflccifbkmipcapnh?hl=en-GB) ---

I just found [this one](http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/88463) for Firefox/Greasemonkey. It blocks the ignored user’s posts and posts by other users that quote the ignored user, which (at long last) solves the problem of having to see the comments in everyone else’s replies. So be aware, all of you who can’t resist replying to everything [_idiot’s name_] says, that I can no longer see your posts. ---

If you use Tapatalk on a mobile platform, it doesn’t give the message that someone is on your ignore list. The post doesn’t show up at all. ---

On my land line there is NO trace of any posts of anyone that I have on ignore. ---

In all the scenarios mentioned above, where ignored posts entirely disappear, can you still tell there’s a missing post by the post numbers in the upper right corner of the remaining posts? The remaining posts don’t get renumbered in the user’s view, do they? ---

You’d think that the SDMB, if it can’t make “ignored” posters’ posts completely invisible to the ignorer, could at least use software that notifies the “ignored” that they shouldn’t post any further in a thread in which they are being ignored. The trauma of seeing the username of someone you’re ignoring (even if the post itself is not visible) could be severe enough to cause PTSD. The Dope needs to work on this, pronto. ---

The remaining posts don’t get renumbered in the user’s view, do they? On Tapatalk, the posts do get re-numbered. I only notice that there’s a missing post if there’s less than 20 posts on a page, and yet there’s additional posts on the next page (I have my default set to display 20 posts per page.) So if there’s 19 posts on the first page, numbered 1 to 19, and yet there’s a second page, I know that a post has been dropped somewhere from the first page, but there’s no way I can tell from that alone where the post was on the page. ---

I wonder if that could produce strange and inconsistent results. Links to individual posts include the post number. For example, hover your mouse over the number 17 in the upper right corner of your own post, and note that the link includes postcount=17 : [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18189475&postcount=17](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showpost.php?p=18189475&postcount=17) Does that also get renumbered when an earlier post in the thread is disappeared? BTW, this could give you a way to find out which post is missing. Just go through the posts and look at the links to each one. But if Tapatalk or whoever even renumbers the post there in the link, then even that strategy wouldn’t work. ---
