Having been in that situation, John, I can say that one thing I dislike about using the search function for that is that you have to remember exactly how everyone spells and capitalizes their name. Which is sometimes hard when they have changed their user name from board to board.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Are you saying you want an indication on the admin page if the e-mail is hidden?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just want more people to have their emails available -- the default is hidden, I think?

I think that would be good, certainly.
It still leaves everyone else in the situation of having to ask an admin to get it for them or use the search, but it would assuage my guilt at looking people up the stompy way.

I'm all for erring on the side of privacy.
Done, John.

I just meant that along the lines of "wouldn't it be nice..."

Damn you're quick. That's great. Thankyou.

One thing we haven't done is change this:
You may use HTML or quick-edit formatting.
to, say:
You may use HTML or quick-edit formatting. But be careful! Bad code -- links and tables particularly -- can cause big problems.
Do others think this is necessary? It would appear above every posting box. It seems cluttery to me - I'd rather wait for the Stompomatic to be installed - but I'll defer to popular opinion.
