Well as I searched earlier I couldn't find how to block a poster.  I know there was a thread on the old forum about how many people actually used the block list and how many they had blocked so for those of you that have need of this I'll post how to block a poster.  Also you will notice that your block list did not transfer over from the old forum, so if you want you will have to re-block people.

The option to block a poster is no longer at the bottom left of a post.  In order to block or indeed add a member as a contact or even send a pm to an individual, move your cursor over the offending poster's username and a menu will appear. 

An example:
Before

As You Block

After


You can reverse your decision, by again highlighting the poster's username and selecting "Un-block member".

    Never found it necessary to use this feature. Never know when someone you find occasionally annoying may have a nugget of info relevant to you. (I find it more annoying to toggle the block option off/on when you want to see something)
     Also, evga has a pretty decent rep of keeping bad users away from the general  public here, so not like some other forums that have problematic members that run around unchecked.

    I do appreciate the OPs intent to inform though.

    Aw sheesh, now you've made me feel bad.  While the post does inform, it was more meant to inform an individual how to block me as I am annoyed at them copying my posts. 

    So while it is noble to inform and help, I am also really doing it for my own reasons.  Altogether less noble.

    I was going to set up a new thread to show how to unblock but figured it might be best to keep it all here.

    Ok so to unblock someone first off they have to already be blocked.



    Move the cursor over the username and a new menu appears.



    Select Un-block Member and hey presto. 




    Stealth you're going to have to copy each of the images and mail them to WD.  Thanks for helping out

    Be here long enough and read enough postings...there will be a few that you will consider blocking...doesn't mean that you will though...like Loggerbomb says...at some point the idiots might just offer a nugget of wisdom that can help you.
