t blockquote
and
t tt

Here's an odd thing. Post #3202 in Natter 8 has gone AWOL. It doesn't exist, and it's not the result of simultaneous postage.

Post #3202 in Natter 8 has gone AWOL.
Hmm. I'd have to look over the code to see if I can find what might cause that.
About the search specs -- any suggestions or modification?
And we need to hash out the MARCIE specs -- number of posters allowed, display of blinvisible posts, etc.
My eye often skims over the 'edited-by' text, so maybe that would be good to mark a Marcie post.

Frivolity is no excuse for ignoring Dana. - Dana
text of post rendered blinvisible by Marcie.

We could have a link to show the post without Marcie, but it would be blue, which would draw your eye, and if you really want to use Marcie on someone, you shouldn't want to see their posts that often. Ten is a number of blocked posters that lets you put a couple on just for posting in weird fonts or whatever. I think ten would be good. I liked how TT let you just type their names in a text box in your profile.
Should the blinvisible be a link, so that you can click on it to expand the post?

I like that. It's actually one of the few things that's nice at the Prospero forums. You can ignore someone and you still see that they've posted and you can choose to read that message.

How about a "Hide" link next to the "Edit Delete Mark" section (or just "Mark" for non-admins, since I doubt many people would want to Marcie themselves). Click on "Hide" and Marcie is activated for that poster. The Hide link then gets automagically replaced with "Unhide" similar to how "Mark" gets replaced by "Marked". Click on "Unhide" and the user is UnMarcied, thus displaying that post (and all others by the poster).

Yes, please. Because sometimes, you need to see what the kerfuffle's all about.

Oooh. Jon is smart.
That's a very good idea, Jon. I never liked having to retype a user's name in a box, because there's that whole "getting it right" thing I'm not always so good with.
