Improve ignored user search results UX

[briansol]

I had no idea this user was on my ignore list.

The 'show ignored content' is very muted and it took me way too long (and a thread here) to figure it out.

Instead of showing pages of nothingness due to being ignored, please adjust the template to show the user is in fact on your ignore list and that's why no content shows up.

XF 2.3 Thread 'No postings for an old user with posts'

Sep 13, 2024

This seems to be a one-off issue. All other users work (so far).

This user has not posted or logged-in in over a decade and a half. likely a vb import.
When going to their posting tabs, nothing shows:




When clicking see more, we get pages of those 931 messages, but no content.





Any ideas?

Again, it's just this 1 user. All cache's we rebuilt some time ago (certainly within the last decade)

Yeah, maybe even just moving the button and text from the right to left would work.

and yet i missed it 15 times despite staring at it trying to figure it out. I realize that's on me --- but i'm sure others are going to have similar concerns. It's not 'in your face'.

What gets me is the pagination but nothing displayed. I feel like there needs to be a routine where it returns actually nothing if it's ignored at the user level, not pages that are a 'bridge to no where'.

This is a suggestion post. If you don't like the suggestion, that's fine.

You're wrong, but that's your opinion, much like this is mine. Kindly say 'noted' or 'not planned' , ignore replying or something other than it's right there you blind idiot[sic]. If you feel that it is proper UX when the USER'S EXPERIENCE is not good/obvious to a 25+year veteran of running forums and a TPM professional by day, then so be it.

I am the voice of the customer clearly experiencing a valid concern with the experience. And in response, we are so often just belittled or responded to with a negative attitude when all i'm trying to do is help/improve/provide feedback.

I agree that the search results should say "show ignored content" right above the page numbers.
