    While doing some editing on my profile I came across "Others You Might Like" Blacklist. What is that?

      If there's a Hubber you really, really hate; you can put their profile link there and this will assure that their profile link never shows on your profile page. So far, my list remains blank. big_smile

        So "Others You Might Like" "blacklist" means it is really a list of others you don't like?

          Yes.

          A synonym for "blacklist" would be "sh*t list". big_smile

      "Others You Might Like" is the section that shows under your Hub, listing Hubs on the same topic by other people.

      If you notice Hubs in that section which you don't want displayed, check the Hubber's name and enter that in the blacklist.  Their Hubs will no longer be displayed.

        Can you point to some documentation on that? I just went and tried that and it doesn't appear to work.

          I can't find any instructions, I just found out by trial and error.

            Thanks. I'll let the experiment run through tomorrow in case it's a periodic batch-run thing as opposed to real time. Darned thing is I really like that Hubber, but that hub of hers is definitely a big, fat leak on my page.

    Nope!  If you put the user url in there, it is rejected.  All you need is the profile name.  I know because I have done it already.

      My post was to agree with your post. In other words, you are right. Forked tongues lie. Unforked tongues tell the truth. Your tongue is unforked. big_smile
