if i choose to ignore a member can i later remove them from my ignore list?

yes

how does it ignore? in tyhe shout box only or does it keep me from seeing their posts in threads also?

You can't ignore users in the shout box, but you can manage your ignored user list here:

http://forums.tformers.com/talk/index.php?...amp;CODE=ignore

is there anyway to tell how many people are ignoring me?

It lets you see that they made a reply, but doesn't show it like with everyone else's posts. But it does give you the option to see that post or turn off the ignore where the post would be.


I hope that makes sense ....

Can I ignore myself? I tend to make really crappy posts and attack people for no apparent reason. Srsly, I'm quite the jerk.
