But there's more to it now.

You can highlight people you like, highlight threads you like... you can even ignore/highlight by keywords that pertain to you. You can even ignore avatars and sigs so that you don't have to see some you don't want without having to turn them off completely.

Also it adds a bottom bar for easier navigation (that is optional, it can be removed in the ffvb options), it has an optional magicpaste feature which auto adds [img] tags around any jpg, gif or png you paste into a text box.
It can load the thread list into the sidebar and auto reload at regular intervals and there's a subscription option where you can have as many forums as you wish all loaded in one single tab and have them all auto reload at regular intervals of your choosing.

Stuff like that. So yes, it's core feature is the ability to ignore someone but there's so much more to it that you may be able to find useful.
