Why not just click on the little "+" ? That's what I did, and that's very practical, because I don't feel brave enought to disable them all Cheesy !

I at one point was wondering the same thing, and then I sucked it up and checked off the 1,000,000 boxes that comprise the local boards.  I've also checked off about 100 other boxes of complete BS areas, and I think I now have the gambling section on ignore too.  It's a pain in the ass but well worth the trouble.  Yes I do wish it was easier to do this, but you really only have to spend the time ONCE.  It would also be nice if you could ignore individual users into absolute oblivion.  As in not even seeing their names when they post.



Yupp I just sucked it up and blocked them one by one. This day and age it seems like something we should just have one tick box for though. I'll have to agree with you about ignoring too. If I ignore someone I don't want to see them greyed out, I don't want them to exist (in my eyes).
I don't think there's such feature, but you can bookmark this page and use that instead of the normal "Show unread posts since last visit" page.

That will show all boards except local boards.

Is that somehow different than just clicking show unread posts since last visit? Where/how did you find that link?

You'd know if you tried it.  That will only show topics from categories 1, 3, 4, and 6 (local boards are 5, 2 is probably for hidden board).  I just made it manually after reading some smf stuff.

I did try it (and saw the different numbers at the end of the url) but of course I have so many boards blocked that it looked the same. Well thank you very much that's pretty cool!

Oh. I should write this out a little more clearly.

I know you can ignore boards but to ignore all of the local boards you literally need to go through and check ~100 boxes off. I think there should be a way to just ignore every local board with one click of a button. That way if new local boards are created they're already blocked.

You can click on the little "minus" sign next to "local" from https://bitcointalk.org/index.php

Yes I did that for a while but ignoring them in settings is best for me.



All I was suggesting was a quick click of a button and they're all ignored guys! I think you all think I'm nuts (or incompetent maybe hahaha!). It was just me being lazy. Of course by lazy Iran clicking a bunch of times. Not going out and doing physical work. Who does that!? It's 2016 for crying out loud! I'm not going outside are you kidding me? That's how skin cancer develops!

Anyways I don't think this will convince anyone to switch things around so nevermind Wink nothing to see here.

That won't be fair If you ask me. You are asking for an option to ban all Localboards but that only fits you and some other members on the forums.
Other members would like to ban other low quality sections such as Micro earnings,Investor based games , Legal , Meetups , Press , Politics and society with one click. I know those aren't too many but I'm just trying to proof a point here , If you have some sections that you dislikes , you should understand that other users dislikes other boards and would like to ignore them with one click... but implementing what each user wants is impossible.

Um, what? Maybe you should read a little bit after the title. You can ignore whatever boards you want lol. I'm not asking to ban them. Hit profile, ignore board options and click away. Implementing what each user wants is already possible.

My issue is that I have to click ~100x just to get rid of them all and whenever a new board comes up I have to ignore it too. It's really not a big issue but I always find it annoying when new boards show up so thought I'd mention it.

I know you can go through and ignore whatever boards you want already but is there a way to just check off one box for ignoring all current and future local boards? When I hit 'Show unread topics since last visit' I don't want to have to sift through languages I don't understand (and altcoins but that only has a few boards to ignore). When you go to ignore board options there are more local boards than normal boards. If there isn't a way to ignore them all would that be implemented on the new forum?

I understand it's petty and minor so don't bother pointing that out  Wink. The only reason I thought of it again is because there must have been a new local board added with a language I don't understand.

Edited for clarity.
