With the old scanner when you came into a system with iHub's you could ignore ever everything except one type of anom and then run the ones you wanted and only those types of re-spawns would appear in the scanner. With the new system you have to clear teh ones you want and when you do a rescan it shows nothing new, you need to tell the scanner to do its continuous scan and thereby getting all the anoms again plus the new ones.

EG, I scan the system to look for anoms, I am only interested in forsaken hub's, so previously I could ignore everything else and once a forsaken hub is run and a new one is spawned I could do a scan and I would then only see the newly spawned anoms, the ignored ones would still be ignored.

Nothing earth shattering but it is very annoying to have to keep ignoring/clearing all the signatures you don't want. It may just be a PEBKAC error but I have not found another way to do it..

You do know you can right-click ignore an individual result, right?

These kind of topics are saying that some people don't appreciate the hard work and talent CCP puts into this game. I actually like the new scanning system. Its awesome, up to date and scans the anomalies that you won't normally see when doing a normal scan. I have found a few hidden ice belts in systems with this handy scanner.

BTW there are options to do that you know. There is a drop down menu that says "Show all" in the Probe Scanner section.

Yes I do... have you been in a system that has dozens of anoms that are ever present? Have you since the patch tried to ignore anoms.. i suspect not... Give it a try and share how you managed to work around my specific problem. I should add that it is not just me who has this problem.

Please show me where in what I have posted I have been negative??? or unappreciative ???I have in a feature and ideas thread suggested that I would like it if some of the old functionality can be looked at and returned....
As per my comment to the previous troll, of which you are clearly one, IF you have tried what I have suggested and have a way to make it easier.. share it with the community, if not I am asking for a feature to be added.. which guess what.. is what the features and ideas thread is about...

I support this. I miss the ability to ignore signatures and have them not come back.

... What next ??
