There are a few I’m NOT interested to see again, ever. We can mute a user, can we mute a thread (?), which of course only will work when signed in.

thanks

Yes, you can mute a thread. To do so, scroll to the bottom of the thread. You’ll find a drop down menu with some kind of bell icon. One of the options available there is to set the thread to “muted”.

Magnifico, works and gone. Oddly the text with the option on your screensnap is different to the one I see, not saying something about hiding the thread of choice.

I know your issue is resolved, but I find making some changes under “Preferences > Tracking” useful too.

If you spend some time on a thread, Discourse automatically tracks the thread. You get notified for new replies as a result.

I set that to a longer value, but you can disable it if you want.
