How does "skip" work?

Every now and then I find a thread in one of the forums that receives a lot of posts but has absolutely zero interest to me.
When I pull up my "unread posts" page, I see the various threads (not counting the entire forums that I've already "hidden") including the thread that I have no interest in reading or following.
I see listed for this undesired thread, the ability to "skip" that thread.
I had assumed that this would stop offering me new unread posts to that thread when I return in the future yet it doesn't seem to work for me. When I click "skip," that thread does disappear. But the next time I visit and look at my "unread posts" thread, the thread I'm trying to skip returns.
Am I doing something wrong or am I not understanding the "skip" feature of the software running POI Factory's messaging?
Just curious--especially since there's a thread in this forum now that I really don't want to follow...
I belive that..
I use the skip all the time.. I belive that it works like "Mark all read" If a new message shows up, it will let you know its there. I just use skip aggain to mark it as read.
It does not hide the thread, just marks it as read.
Hope this helps

I think
the only real way to not get certain threads is to go into your accout and then you can hide things.
Only thing wrong is it is a very narrow selection. In most cases all the threads are in open form and you can't block the ones you don't want to read with out blocking the whole thread. I use the skip all the time to reduce the threads that I want to read
when there is not interest for me.

I didn't know that you could do that but I will try it.
I think you're right

Given the way it behaves for me, I believe you're right and it really is a "mark all as read" rather than a "skip this thread forever" as I had hoped.
Not a big deal but I do wish it had been the other. At least the "hide forums" work for me since it saves me now from making a fool of myself as I've done in the past when I forget that I was in a Magellan/TomTom/Mac forum.
bobkz is correct

Yup. It marks the thread as read.
