You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Okay. The only still unresolved bug that I found was the one that was giving spurious posts when I threadsucked BBaBB over on the test site.

I gave the example here:

The main thing that's open on my list otherwise is which post you are brought to after you block, unblock, or read a blocked post, but that's a preference issue, not a bug.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

that's a preference issue, not a bug.

And it also seems to be harder to implement the good idea solution Jon came up with, so I'd rather not let anything hang on it.

Also needed: write up on the feature.

Right. The ideal solution is to use name tags, but ita reported problems with that using Opera. t X-POST!

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

But could we make it work the way that editing a post works, where the post that you just edited shows up as the first post on the page? Seems to me that would be a lot less complicated.

Also, if we ever do figure it out, can we apply it to marking/unmarking posts, as well?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think we should make blocking work just like marking, or vice versa. Either we go live with the current marking behaviour and blocking matches that, or we switch.

I think Jon's suggestion is the most elegant, and I'd rather not do the second-best change and then the best one. If it's determined (and I did precisely no research over the weekend, despite saying I would) that Jon's solution never works for Opera -- then we should go with making the blocked post first.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

ita, what type of write up do you want, and do you need one from everybody?

I have no problems with that approach.

I tried and tried, but nary a thing went buggy on me. I have the same preference as DX re: where it brings you back, but I think you're in the process of coming to conclusion on that, and I've got nothing helpful there.

Also, same question as Lee re: write-ups.

§ ita § - May 03, 2004 9:46:51 am PDT #7410 of 10000

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If you didn't find any bugs and don't have any recommendations, then a thumbs up will do.
