(Suggestion) Possibility of also adding Ignore buttons to the forum/subforum threadlist, like SB/SV?

As the title says;

I find it a little odd that QQ implemented XenForo's ignore button feature around the same time as SB/SV did, but only when you're in the thread itself, and not just browsing the forums.

There are a lot of threads I know I'll never click on just from the title, so saving the time, bandwidth, and internet history of clicking on a thread specifically to ignore it, by just allowing me to do it from the forum/subforum page would be nice.

This would help remove the cutter, meaning I'm seeing just the content I'm interested in engaging with.

I'm not sure why this wasn't implemented with the in-thread ignore button to begin with, but I'm sure there were reasons. I just think it'd be nice to have.

Supposedly, that's a XF2 feature.

Hmm, I thought we'd already moved over? The announcement was, what, going on four years ago?

Regardless, the ignore features were all in the same XF update, weren't they? If SB/SV already have it, and QQ has it for the in-thread UI... doesn't that mean the architecture is already there, but not implemented?

Probably a XF2 thing.
And no we're still on XF1.
Last big change was the forum move hosting providers.

There's gotta be a way to reverse-engineer the ignore interface, and generate the ignore functions with just the information in the thread list. It's probably going to require a browser-side add-on to have a UI, though.

As a first approximation, copying the URL of the thread and adding /ignore-confirm to the end might skip directly to the ignore pop-up. If you try it, please report back on whether it skips loading the thread itself (in e.g. the way that clicking on "reply" when in reader mode drops you directly to a message-writing page, instead of a reply box at the bottom of the thread).

Would need to do more work than mobile Firefox supports if that doesn't do it.

I've been doing that for years. It takes you to a page that is just the (un)ignore options, yes. And for those of us who's setup makes copy-pasting easier than typing, there's an "Ignore Forum" link right there; paste that into the address bar, then paste the thread URL over the address portion of it.
