First you must be logged in.
Did you do that?
Then you click on the person's profile, and you have the "Add Friend" and "Add Foe" options.
Adding them as a foe puts them on ignore.

At least it worked for me

For those of you who were interested in checking out the new "look" check this out. Same user/password as you're used to here - but that version of the forums is about a week behind in posts. ANYTHING you post there will be deleted on a whim as part of the upgrade process. But feel free to make test posts and such.

Nice look, easy to use. No problems with just reading and moving between forums.

And the friend/foe is in the user control panel like it is here.

Use an image hosting service like imgur.com and you can post it that way. Having the forum server host the PDFs and images takes up too much space, and storage space takes money...

I'll see if we can support that going forward. May be as simple as adding .pdf to the allow list.

Contrary to a popular belief when I brag about OFCC accomplishments I'm not looking for your thank you or personal recognition. I'd much prefer you send me an email telling me when you are going to get involved in doing what I've been doing since 1999. We are only as effective as we make ourselves. We need the next generation of OFCC to step to the plate.

Is that you?

I'm stuck out of town in a hotel this weekend (again) and I've done two or three mock upgrades of the forum for learning. At some point today I am going to shut the production forums off and leave them off until I complete the migration.

This is so that when I turn them back on upgraded there will be no lost posts, PMs, or contributions. I've gotten pretty good at this so it should be relatively quick, but there is a chance something goes sideways and takes extra time. I'd post a more specific timeline but it's all random on when my daughter needs me to do things while she's at a dance competition here so if the forums are offline, they're being upgraded today/tonight. If I run into trouble I'll turn the original forums back on and re-attempt a second time later tonight.

As of around 12:30am Sunday morning - I believe the forums are moved over the new hosting facility and fully upgraded.

Check them out. Post any immediate issues as a response to this post.

Somethings I know may not work:

- The logo is the default phpBB logo. I'll get to that :)
- The forums might not be emailing anyone.
- Other odd issues may appear.

Are avatars going to get transferred over?

I was wondering that.

Seems easier to read when using my phone.
