New Feature - Ignore Thread option

[RoadRaven]

Thank you to you both, Jeff and Susan.

This is a great feature.

When I come in I always click on "new posts" and get 2-3 pages and most of the threads I don't read - some about health, or tv programmes, many of the specific rides in the US I will never do.

With a very slow connection (today it is 19.2kbps) I have to be selective as it takes a minute or two for each page to load, and just as long to get the "post reply" page... besides, after all that, I am here for the riding/bicycle discussions.

I see I have to rate each thread now in order to ignore it.

Is it possible to change the options away from

...excellent/good/average/bad/terrible...
?

Many of the threads I am choosing to ignore (most recent was a riding in snow thread, which I will never do) have great discussions but just are completely irrelevant to me. So I choose good or excellent, but if you are using this info as stats for your interest, you will wonder why some people rate threads as excellent and then choose to ignore them.

Thanks again for this feature, it will make my visits here much more manageable - this forum has grown so much in the two years I been dropping in.
