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?

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.

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.

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

What JenP said.

My only question is a non-technical one: did we decide to lose the MARCIE moniker?

Huge, honkin', two thumbs-up and an even bigger thank you (See? Bigger.) to all of you who made it, and made it work so well.

t stands and applauds. there may be some loud whistling, too.

Thumbs-up from me. I didn't do anything too heavy-duty to it, but in what I did do (blocking and unblocking from the post, unblocking from the profile page, unblocking multiple users at once, temporarily viewing blocked posts, finding and handling the list of blocked users in the profile) I didn't run into a single problem.

I did think we had a certain amount of, if not total bullshit consensus, at least strong feelings on the side of not calling it MARCIE vs. not-strong feelings in favor -- weren't we going to change the label "this user has been blocked by MARCIE" in the blocked posts to "this post is inblisible" or somesuch?
