Pressing space will (offer to) move you to the next unread in another newsgroup. This should be the same for Ignoring a thread. Offer to is in () because it is a preference whether you want to be warned or not when moving across newsgroups. I personally have disabled the warning.

Still relevant.
"ignore" is in a class of immediate functions that doesn't affect navigation - watch - tag - star etc For consistency, if ignore changed then perhaps some of these others should change, and if so I'm inclined to disagree with the whole idea.

> "ignore" is in a class of immediate functions that doesn't affect navigation > - watch > - tag > - star I think that Ignore doesn't quite fit into this group. True, like Watch, Tag and Flag/Star it currently does not affect navigation, but unlike them, it influences not only the current message but the entire thread. Being killed is no feature of the selected message but the thread it belongs to. Actually, I think that Ignore is a escalation of Next: - Next goes to the next unread message. - Next Thread marks the remainder of the current thread as read and goes to the next unread message. - Ignore should mark the remainder of the current thread as read, mark the thread as ignored and go to the next unread message. > For consistency, if ignore changed then perhaps some of these others should > change, and if so I'm inclined to disagree with the whole idea. No, they shouldn't, no need to disagree. ;-)

Ignore does affect navigation - doesn't it do a next unread after ignoring the thread? That's what it used to do...
