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.

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
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:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
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.

(Most recent, I think. Re. whether we believed in a God or not.)

Our wings are not tired.
I would probably use the filter, but I could also see where I might want to view an individual post after reading responses to the post. I could deal with unblocking and blocking, but one click would be handy.

My only suggestion RL is to threadsuck and search on a key word you remember.
