Are you saying you want an indication on the admin page if the e-mail is hidden?

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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

Done, John.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Jesse, I know what you really mean, and I'm going to change the code so

IF (user="Jesse") THEN dont_show_any_emails_because_she's_weird


John H - Dec 04, 2002 3:56:16 pm PST #1833 of 10000

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

[edit: what ita actually did, not the Jesse clause]

Phffftttt.

See if I ever email you again.

That's not even real code!!!

I bookmarked this while I was on Vay-Cay:

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.

Works just fine in HyperTalk, except for the quote:

on mouseUp
  put "jesse" into user
  IF (user="Jesse") THEN
    dont_show_any_emails_because_shes_weird
  end if
end mouseUp

on dont_show_any_emails_because_shes_weird answer "I know, I know" end dont_show_any_emails_because_shes_weird

I don't think so. It's like "Drive carefully!" I was kinda gonna -- that's why they're called traffic accidents and not traffic plans.


John H - Dec 04, 2002 4:19:03 pm PST #1838 of 10000

I'm not going to disagree. I do see the "'baby on board?' why then I won't kill you!" aspect of it.

I think people know to be careful, especially if they've made a mistake once already.

How about a mention in the HTML page though?
