Killfile would have to be handled by your browser. You'll still have to download the posts, but your browser could be instructed to hide them.

Technically, I think the easiest way to handle this is to apply a CSS class name derived from the poster's name to the div fully containing the message. Something like this:

<div class="message u22380">some vapid or daft comment</div>

And then instruct CSS to hide that user's messages: .u22380 { display: none } This of course would all be transparent to the end-user. A better alternative would be to employ JavaScript to fold that user's message, allowing a click to venture were you promised you wouldn't.

I know precious little HTML (and no Java) and don’t know how to write code for a CSS or JavaScript that would add the div tags in the proper spots to the downloaded code, but I suspect it would not be too difficult for you to add the div at your end. Could/would you do this? I don’t think it would add significantly to the file size. (Or alternatively, point me to a web site where I could learn to do it on my end)

And then instruct CSS to hide that user's messages: .u22380 { display: none } This of course would all be transparent to the end-user.

If the div tags were included on your end, I think I could add this to my browser's CSS.

Thanks for all your work on the forum.
