Useless Forum Features

[Shawn Gossman]

What features on your forum are useless to you?

Why do you feel like these features are useless?

Direct message labels. I can see a niche need for them, but I can think of other areas that could have had time better spent as DM's are usually not a major part of a site other than for admin/moderators.
The ignore feature on Xenforo.
Poor implementation/use of tags.

The ignore feature on Xenforo.

Why so?

Why so?

It isn't a really an ignore feature. More like an "minimize your view of this user" one.

I agree with that. I'd rather it be like the block feature on FB where you can't see them and they can't see you.

Yeah, stuff like this is basically useless for an ignore feature unless you have extreme self control.



It's probably a glitch in the style that was present where this was as XF generally does not show that much.
But even seeing the [icoe]You are ignoring{/icode] stuff in a quoted thread and having the ability to show content really defeats the usefulness of it.
