Why Doesn’t the Block Treads Functionality Work Anymore?

Anyone else have this issue? I block the same threads over and over… to no avail.

Muriel?

OP, are you a subscriber or a freeloader?

by Anonymousreply 2October 7, 2022 9:26 PM

It doesn't work for subscribers, either, r2.

by Anonymousreply 3October 7, 2022 9:31 PM

Beggars can't be choosers, OP. Start your own chat-board for pointless bitchery.

I can't be arsed.

Works for me OP. Sounds like a you thing.

My experience is that if you block a thread, it disappears, but if someone then posts on that thread, it gets unblocked for some reason. This didn't happen in the past. I agree it's annoying.

I haven't had that functionality for months. Anyone else have their W&Ws and block icons removed and replaced with a square and arrow that doesn't do anything?

Take it up with BFGoodrich, Firestone, Goodyear or Uniroyal.

I've found that threads stay blocked until you close the window or quit your browser. The blocking works temporarily but doesn't stick.

The users mustn't complain about the site owner.

Twitter and Reddit are worse.

I think it's about cookies.

You definitely have issues.

Some DLers are just too precious.

by Anonymousreply 14October 8, 2022 12:38 AM

I don’t understand why it’s unrealistic to expect the Block Thread function to actually block threads.

by Anonymousreply 15October 8, 2022 1:07 AM

OP, next you'll be complaining that ten threads have been censored overnight.

They've disappeared down the 'Memory-Hole'.

by Anonymousreply 16October 8, 2022 1:10 AM

R16, you’re an idiot. Don’t be stupid.

by Anonymousreply 17October 8, 2022 1:11 AM

You're right, OP!

I've blocked this lousy thread three times and here it is again!

by Anonymousreply 18October 8, 2022 1:14 AM

Works for me, but I don't block a lot of threads, and I unblock them after awhile.

by Anonymousreply 19October 8, 2022 1:14 AM

It doesn't work for me either.

by Anonymousreply 20October 8, 2022 1:28 AM

[quote] you’re an idiot.

I tried to block all the stupid threads of no interest and populated by fools.

Then I realised I had blocked 80% of them.

Some eldergay mentioned that Datalounge was divided between the 'Entertainment threads' and the 'Political threads back in the olden days.
