I'm confused. Are we talking about having the blocked list in the Set profile page, the righthand links (where View bookmarks lives), or in the profile you get when you click on someone's username?

Do you have problems, concerns or recommendations about the technical side of the Phoenix? Air them here. Compliments also welcome.
In the Set Profile page, there's currently a section you see if you have one or more users blocked, which lists the users, and allows you to uncheck them -- it's just like the bookmark page, only a section.
My opinion is that the section should be there whether you have anyone blocked or not, just empty in the latter case.

Yes, this.
Gotcha. I read back and saw "profile" and suddenly wasn't sure whether you meant the public one (in which case, ACK!), or the Set... page.
Now that I'm thinking of it in these terms, though, it would make more sense to me as part of those left-hand links. After all, it's not really part of my profile (which is all about memememe! and anyway is a very long scroll) -- it's a site tool I use in a manner more like my bookmarks.
I agree, ita.

Is it any less about you than the threads you read? In my head it's on the profile page because that's where WebX put it, and I don't see a good reason to move it.
If the profile page is a long scroll, we might want inpage links to scoot up and down it.

I agree. Maybe have text that says "No users made blinvisible."
I'd rather keep the filter within the profile page. I'd rather not clutter up the left hand column, and I don't expect anyone will be using the filter often enough to warrant it having it's own special page.
t edit But inpage links are a good idea.

I think this sounds great.
I like MARCIE a little better than blinvisible, but blinvisible is fine too.

I think it's already long enough that anchor links are needed. More so if we add what could be another long list of stuff.
I'll try to articulate the profile or not business in a separate post.
I think some instructional text might be helpful if no one is blocked. That way, no one will waste time trying to figure out how to add someone to their list of blocked users from the profile page.
