How to Block other users?

[Sarah Cox]

Hi,

I'm quite new to these forums, and wondering how to go about blocking people, so that I no longer see their forum posts and they are unable to contact me.

I can turn off notifications for the particular thread where they are commenting, which is good.  There's a drop down menu to the right (where there are three little green dots) of each post, which gives the ability to "ignore user", but after selecting this, I can still see their posts...

Any advice? Thanks :)
