What should be a minor coding change

[Aussie_Don]

Hi,

I generally make it a point to start a session by clicking on the
"New Posts" search.
I often follow this by using the "samples" that appear when I
run my mouse over the thread title to decide whether it is likely
to be of interest. (And, in many cases, I'll decide that I'm not
particularly interested in a thread just by looking at the sub-forum
where it is posted.)

What I think would be useful is a "Hide" button similar to the button
that takes me to the first unread post.

I know that I can go into the thread and block it -- I'm asking if I could
do this from the "Threads with Unread Messages" listing.

Why do I want this? I suspect that I miss threads that would interest me
since they are on the second or third page of the listing. This would
allow me to more quickly remove what I define as chaff from the "wheat".
then a quick "re-search" and more threads that do interest me would
be shown. Over time as I block threads of little interest, I wind up with
a manageable list of new posts to read.

thanks,

-Don
