Ignore feature doesn't actually ignore...

As per the screenshot, appears to happen when its in the active news thread.

Also, if I ignore someone, do my posts also get hidden from them?

It's working fine for me. Are you sure you didn't hit the "Show ignored content" button at the bottom of the page? (See pic below.)

Nope.

Can confirm I did not hit that button, Been watching it happen over a number of weeks. Seems to be related to when the post shows up in the news feed on the right of the main page.

Anyway, No biggie, I only block people to reduce the chance of engaging in dumb conversations.
