Download the latest version of FfVb to ensure that all features work on as many VBulletin installations as possible.
Features - Powerful ignore allows you to ignore users (threads, posts and even quotes), threads, keywords and prefix (in vb 3.7). They will be stripped right out of the page! You will forget they even exist!

- Highlight the threads/posts of users you like so that they're easier to find. You can now choose the colour to highlight as well.

- Context menus means no more typing or checking boxes. Simply right click on the user, thread or prefix that you would like to ignore or highlight and you can add them to your list with a single click!

- Preference window shows all your users, threads, prefixes and keywords in collapsible tree lists sorted by forum. Now you can remove users/threads/prefix/keywords as easily as you added them. Right click and choose "Remove" and their threads/posts will become visible again.

- Sub menu features a forum navigation, page navigation and convenient links to search, user cp, new thread and new reply as well as your button to launch the sidebar.

- Load your favorite forum's thread list into the sidebar and have it auto reload in intervals of 0s, 30s, 45s, 60s or 120s... also, you can choose to have the threads/user profiles launch into your active tab, a new tab or a new tab in the background. - Lists (except keywords) are managed by ID. Which means that if a user changes their name, or a thread title gets changed... they will still be on your ignore list.

- Lists are separate for each forum so user id #10 on Forum A will not be ignored on Forum B... since quite obviously, it will be someone different.


Instructions It's really quite easy. Just install, reboot firefox and you're all set.
You can find the preferences in the Tools menu or by right clicking anywhere on the page and choosing "FfVb Management" and "Settings/Options".
You can begin adding users or threads or prefix's to your list by right clicking on them and choosing "Add to Ignore List" for the appropriate item.
Add keywords directly within the preferences window.
You can also remove people/threads/prefixes/keywords from your preferences using the preferences window. You can also manage how your sub menu and sidebar options work in the "Other Options" tab.
