Thanks for the heads-up on the ftp change, ita & DX. I was just able to successfully login to all the places for which I have access.

Hi.

This is just a post to ask, am I going completely crazy, or is there some sort of limit imposed on how many marked posts one can make? I was just looking at my bookmarks page, and I'm only seeing 13 marked posts (all things I had, fairly recently, marked while on a public computer to remind myself to download the images linked to from the post, etc, when at home again). I'm slightly distressed, because I had had bookmarked some posts which were the starts of what I'd considered important or interesting discussions, and I'm kind of looking for a particular line, now, and search.php is down and threadsucking Bitches 3000 posts at a time is *so* not fun on a dialup modem.

Um. Yes. Is there a limit we hadn't been warned about, or did I just delete a bunch of bookmarks in my sleep?

t edit Actually... is it possible that the bookmarks were, rather, somehow scrambled? Because I feel *pretty* sure I never bookmarked this post; yet it is the first one appearing in my bookmarks page.

Rebecca, I lost my bookmarks in the last database crash. Maybe that has something to do with it.

Oh, yeah, look at that. My bookmarks are definitely screwy as well. Frelling hostrocket.

Anyone remember the time TT crashed, and when it came back up, we all had someone else's subscription profile? That was entertaining.

Mine are missing completely, but I didn't have many to start with.

... any chance anyone remembers about when the Bitches were having that religion discussion?

Which religion discussion? I can remember a few.

Hi all:

I've been having a look at the Phoenix code that ita sent me. I'll probably start working on MARCIE soon... though I still have a doubt first.

Reading the posts about the subject, I see that Noumenon first proposed a link in the text of the MARCIEd posts, pointing to the relevant part of the FAQ. ita and others opposed it, since it would be distracting and eye-catching. Noumenon proposed then having a big text at the top of the page right after it reloads, warning: "all posts by this user will be blocked until you decide to", etc.. Apparently Nou is really worried that newbies might click on this feature by accident... :-)

My question is: is the above okay with the rest of the people? I thought that a variant of that could be a confirmation screen: "All posts by will be blocked from you until you decide to unblocked them. Are you sure you really want to do it?", like the one we have now to delete a post. Which option do people prefer? Or do you think it's unnecessary?

Also, it was mentioned that there should be a way to see just one particular post that you could be interested in, without unblocking that user. Are people still interested in it?

Speak up now, or be silenced by the (fake) consensus...

(Kellog):

ita's post where she describe how would the "show me this post from the blocked user just this once" feature would work:

ita "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Apr 3, 2003 2:17:10 pm EST

And Noumenon describing his system to inform people that they have in fact blocked another poster:

Noumenon "Buffistas Building a Better Board" Apr 12, 2003 3:22:49 am EDT

I don't know anything about anything, but I would love to be able to block a user but still be able to see a single post of theirs with one click, instead of having to unblock and reblock them. Because I'm nosy like that. Actually, that nosiness means I probably will never use a filter, so feel free to disregard.
