The functionality that would be most convenient for me is:
- one click in-thread to block a user
- one click in-thread to reveal a single post of a blocked user
- a section in the "set profile" page where you can take people off your MARCIE list.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

No other candidate is asking the hard questions, like "Did geophysicists assassinate Jim Henson?" or "Why is there hydrogen in America's water supply?" --defective yeti
I think it's good that PaulJ is bringing up the suggestions I snuck into Marcie because they were new and haven't had a complete vetting, except by ita. She's so responsible, I almost feel like I'm making more work for her when I suggest things because she always has to make sure it won't cause a catastrophe. Really appreciate it. And all the while accomplishing things like the feature requirements for our host and the password resetting. She's a pillar.

Personally, I'm not in favour of an additional warning everytime you block an user, but only because that's More Work for me (yes, I'm lazy).
I think that the possible problems caused by the lack of that warning could be reduced with a appropiately helpful link text: how about "Block user", instead of just "Block" in the link? Would that be too long? One click blocking/unblocking would also make it easier for anyone who has made a mistake to unmake it.

The generation that could change the world is still looking for its car keys.
The functionality that would be most convenient for me is:
# one click in-thread to block a user
# one click in-thread to reveal a single post of a blocked user
# a section in the "set profile" page where you can take people off your MARCIE list.
I'd like to see the User Block/Unblock link in the User Profile page, as well, if it's not significantly more coding.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
My bookmarks are frelled, too. In fact, a couple are blank.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I've now got three bookmarks that are things I actually marked, and two that are blank. I think I had about 8 posts marked. But, I don't really mind, since I can't remember what they were. The only things I remember marking are the things that are still there.

Thrive to spite them
I lost all but 2 bookmarks in the crash, I know one was the last thing I bookmarked but I have no idea if the other was the second to last thing I bookmarked.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There will be bookmarks that don't work, if they link to anything in the archived Natters. The rest -- I don't know. There is the theoretical option of restoring what I had by April 4th, but there might be integrity issues.
PaulJ -- note to remember -- Jon has done all the interface changes. Like ALL. I've not decided on a bit of visible HTML -- so he'll be an integral part of any modification.

Oh. Never thought of that. That's actually kind of a nasty surprise if you've been saving those bookmarks.
Also, I was able to get into the ftp, so the zip files for Natters 6 - 8 are now up.

It is a nasty surprise, but I thought it was more important to make the make the annoyingly corruptible posts table smaller than to wait for me to get time to write the redirect code.
Which will come ... soon.
