How to hide thread in list. (this not request nor question - this is tutorial how to do it :-)

edited March 2020 in General App Discussion

There is way how to remove from list unwanted threads ... It hides thread after page is loaded. Beware - it doesn't update paging - it just hides threads you choose ..

It is not perfect - thread disappears shortly after page is loaded, but still it's better than nothing :)

This method works in CHROME on desktop. I guess similar plugin should be available also for Firefox. Unfortunately this doesn't work for mobile devices. Still at least something ;)

1/ Download this CHROME extension:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/custom-javascript-for-web/poakhlngfciodnhlhhgnaaelnpjljija?hl=en
Just click link and tap button "Add to chrome"

2/ Now, go into some annoying thread you don't want to see.. in my example it is behringer yoke thread. Then click on blue "CJS" icon, and add line of code with number from URL like in example. Don't forget to put ; at the end (you will add line like this for every single thread you want to hide, every one on new line, ending with ; just with different number which identifies thread.

$("#Discussion_xxxxx").hide();

where "xxxxx" is replaced by real thread identification number from URL

Then tap "SAVE"

Done. Now go to thread list - your unwanted annoying thread disappears in list :)

    Or you could put your fingers in your ears and say LALALALALA I'M NOT LISTENING.

    That's a sarcastic way of saying I find this juvenile and unfriendly to the community. The thread that offended you, Dendy, has evolved and is quite thoughtful at the moment. I think this is rather petulant. But I defend your right to advance your cause, good sir!

  • My solution is so low tech. I ignore lol :smiley:

    That said, this is a pretty neat high tech methodology

  • edited March 2020

    I used this just as example. I personally will not hide anything ... Few people asked here for way how to hide threads so here is my advice. Anyway, if my advice offends somebody then ... ok, to be honest i totally don't care :lol: Spreading knowledge always was and always will be my mission ...

    Also this may be interesting for somebody - you can hide automatically ALL threads created by certain person :)

    just add to CJS this line

    $('a[href="/profile/dendy"]').closest('li').hide();

    and you will never see any thread created by me :)) .. just copy paste that line and replace "dendy" with any username from who you don't want to see new threads

    knowledge is everything, but use it wisely

  • This is more useful than just blocking threads that offend you. There's a lot of chatter here and it can be nice to hide several active threads that you have no interest in so that you can more easily see new and other threads. I know I tend to quickly scan the thread list and frequently overlook an interesting thread because it's in a list of chaff. It's especially annoying when someone decides to have fun with constant subject line edits...

    if anybody interested i can provide also code which will effectively

    • hide everything (all threads) and just leave visible explicitly listed threads - anybody interested in such hack ?

    but this would be probably not much useful because it does just visual hide on actually showed page - if some thread is, lets say on page 6, you would still need to browse to page 6 to see it

  • How about a script that automatically hides any thread WHOSE TITLE IS IN ALL CAPS? That should catch 99.9% of issues ;) (sorry, I know...)

    Your wish ...

    $("div.ItemContent > div.Title > a").filter(function() { return $(this).html().toUpperCase() == $(this).html(); }).closest('li').hide();

    Don't see any reason why they shouldn't do .. jQuery is rock solid reliable library and has available trillions of plugins for everything thinkable... and PHP 7+ is really mature language and for server side code, especially for large-scale apps, it is still best available solution in my opinion - just because there is lot of shitcoders producing simple shitcode it doesn't mean it is wrong language - i'm developing very complex web-based application last 3-4 years (few hundreds of thousands lines of code) - very well structured, utilising all advantages of PHP7, proper domain driven model

    It's never about a what frameworks or languages you use, it's always just about how good coder you are and how structured and robust is your code. You can write complete shitcode in any language, there is no poor language, there are just poor coders ;)

  • The way I manage that is bookmarking the threads I want to read, so it's just one click everytime I visit the forum.

  • I have no problems ignoring people or threads, but I can see how much easier it would be to find new interesting threads. Some threads go down the list so quickly, that some interesting threads do disappear from the most seen, while the usual drama threads (that usually turn into sixty pages of woke agreement and group wankathon threads :p ) bung up space.

    Could be quite interesting to see how the use of the forum might change with a simple ignore button on each thread. I’m sure then that less of the asking for help threads will pass into obscurity as quick.

    Best of both worlds. A simple button that allows choice, without curtailing choice. I have no idea if this is possible in the software used. Just an opinion.

    Yeah don't get so defensive ;) I generally frown upon using libraries -- unknown third party code which is often shit, probably has 10 times as many features as I'll ever need, lots of unknown stuff happening in the background, likely security holes, etc... I prefer to always code everything from scratch :) But it's of course also a question of time vs money...

    I only remember jQuery as a kind of "duct tape solution" to the idiosyncracies of the "old" JavaScript and DOM days. But yeah, it probably has lots of useful plugins. But then again, when I need a specific kind of functionality in a web environment, I always code it from scratch. Guess I have too much time... ;)

    PHP is a whole discussion of its own of course. I've stopped watching its development (and mostly using it) many years ago. Are built-in functions now named consistently? Does the ternary operator now work? Is the documentation now correct? :D no sorry... nobody will ever convince me of PHP. For large-scale server-side applications, I would definitely prefer node.js. But to each their own :)

  • edited March 2020

    jQuery is not duct tape solution in my opinion.. some things in plain JS are in my opinion just ugly .. using some framework is always good thing - in case you need speed (like fast processing of big arrays) you can still combine it with plain JS (which is what i'm doing), but for other thins it helps to write less code. I'm very satisfied with jQuery ..

    Regarding PHP - biggest step forward with PHP7 is for me possibility to use typing in functions definition, including scalar types.. stuff like this:

    changed game for me. Before that it was really hard. This plus type wise comparision (=== or !==) is the way to rock solid code and removed many annoying checks and validations of variable content... I would say - if you are following some rules and have some discipline and self-control, you can write excellent code in PHP .. if not then .. well.. you can write mess code in PHP :))))

    All other standard OOP things like traits, interfaces, inheritance, abstract classes, abstract methods - everything works just fine ... just missing a bit polymorhism, but well, maybe on PHP8 :))

    whole my application is build based on Domain driven design (VMC model, strong model based on ORM with repositories, entities, relations, etc..) ...

    re built-in functions now named consistently?

    nope this isn't much changed :)) but after those years, i learned to live with that, don't see i as some disadvantage :)) there is autocomplete in IDE, so no problem :)

    Does the ternary operator now work? I

    hm, it did not work ? or what exactly did not work ? using it a lot, never noticed any issue :)

    Is the documentation now correct?

    no idea, using documentation just very rarely - IDE autocomplete solves 99% of quetions for me :)) But when i needed to check something in docu, never experienced troubles or some mistakes, stuff i searched was there, correctly explained ...

  • @dendy it's OK... I'm probably a bit behind on recent PHP developments. It does depend mostly on the programmer to not build shit, I agree. I tend to see stuff in black & white a bit (as you do regarding NS2 :D), so don't take everything I say totally seriously.

    The ternary operator had some weird behaviour in PHP as far as I remember, like not being able to chain comparisons (foo ? bar : foo2 ? bar2).

    Anyway. Bottom line -- as long as the end result works and doesn't waste too many resources, it's good :)

  • Programming has absolutely atrocious usability. All that arbitrary punctuation cluttering up the lines of text, and scattered idiotically across the page like raindrops just lying in wait to trap you. And the afterthought things quietly whispered in brackets – why bother saying them if they weren’t that important in the first place?

    Careful. That would also hide all of your responses within any thread.

    $('.FirstCommentBy > a[href="/profile/dendy"]').closest('li').hide();

    Should limit it to threads created by you.

  • @Michael

    Would it be possible to have a new category search. One that includes all categories except for Off Topic. Off Topic tends to be threads that while few in number, are often the ones that some of us would prefer to be able to not have on our topic lists :)

  • @Fruitbat1919 @Shabudua @anickt I've just discovered and enabled the "category following" feature, which lets you choose which categories you want to follow (from the gear buttons on the All Categories page), and then select only the followed categories for the front page.

    That’s wonderful. Thank you so much :)

  • Now my problem is...I don’t want to block whole categories, because there are interesting threads in every category😆

  • @Shabudua said:

    Yep I can understand that I may too could miss the odd great Off Topic thread, but personally I’m willing to put up with that. I only got involved with certain threads as they were in your face so much and usually regretted getting involved. I find there’s a pattern with the worst OT threads - discussion takes off with a mix of all points of view that usually is on subject and not personal. As the thread develops there becomes a pattern of group think and anyone outside of that (or even not considered to be part of that group), are badgered until it’s just easier to leave the conversation, so that the group think becomes its own agreement chamber. The only ones that stay to argue with the group think are those that are here to troll on the whole. This causes disjointed reflection of the topic. This continues until the thread is closed.

    So yep, I agree there are totally interesting threads in every category, but personally I miss so many more threads that get ignored and drop down the lists quick because the top spots are mostly hogged by long drama threads. Yeah, it would be nice to just be able to block single threads as well as groups, but as a compromise solution, I’m so happy that Michael found this one, but understand this won’t solve issues for all :)

  • I thought I remembered that there was but after reading this thread I'm not sure -

    If you only want to see selected topics is the only way to 'follow' the ones you want to see but don't follow the ones you don't want to see?

    Is there no way to select just one or two categories you don't want to follow, eg desktop, by using some 'don't follow' button?

    edited August 2023

    I don’t think so. But seriously, it takes less than one minute to follow the topics you want. I know, I did it. Following all but Logic Pro.

    Sure, if a new category gets added and I miss it I could miss a few posts until I notice. No biggie.
