Hi all,
Can one of you lovely people please do a quick HOW TO guide to muting contributors? I see things differently as an admin and in any case, I am currently brain fried as I have had IT issues for 48 hours now and had to resorted to uploading video in a car park in the middle of Avranches this morning….
So whatever I wrote would be gibberish.
Thank you whoever offers in advance!
I’m going to walk the dog now and try to decompress…
Brian recently did some very helpful guidance here.
…
Thank you George - i’m not sure this works if the person hides their profile though?
Can do it from your own profile:
Go to Preferences then “Tracking” where you can mute based on category or tag or “Users” where you have various options to reduce interaction with specific users.
Thank you, that’s worked 
Thanks @George1 and thanks to Brian too!
Welcome @EdMck , but I’m dying to know who you have decided after only one day here, that you don’t want to hear from. Go on tell us, if I get no reply, I will know who. 
Uh-Oh, no reply so far. 
sorry, it wasn’t you !
Hi it seems not to have blocked the person, I still receive articles created by them?
I think you need “ignore” rather than “mute”?
If you “ignore” then you see that someone has posted but not the content, wherever they have posted. I find “mute” is good for not seeing entire threads…or at least that’s what I think I have done 
It would seem that @EdMck has muted everybody. 
Very wise. 
Yes but…I suppose really I am only interested not in that but the constant recurring of old threads without any encouragement. I mentioned it the other day, getting boring, better stop. 
I have no idea why that happens. Maybe Cat or Sir William would have a clue…
Maybe it’s only you and me that fall into the trap. 
Probably!!
