Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Do you want comments in here? If so: (1) OOOH, SHINY! (2) I wish that (a) "blinvisible" linked right to the relevant part of the FAQ and (b) when you click "temporarily view this," that post was at the top of the page.

If not, tough.

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

Oh yeah -- should comments go in here, or in BBaB on the test site?

My only quibble so far is that "temporarily unblock this post" reads to me like I'm going to be able to reblock it, so maybe "Unblock this post only" would be a better way to word it.

Otherwise, it's peachy-keen.

Okay, this is very strange. Why did my post end up above Sue's?

It's temporary because if you view the post later, even if you do no other blocking or unblocking, it will be inblisible again.

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

Jessica's post and JenP's have the same post number in the test site BBaBB thread. That shouldn't happen seven months apart.

[edited to clarify...]

ita, did you reset some stuff over there, for example, the last post read flags? According to the system, I hadn't ever read a single post over there, even though I've posted near the end of most of the threads.

There was one piece of oddness I couldn't duplicate. When I first went into Set Profile to unblock someone, I somehow got unsubscribed from everything in my Message Center. I tried doing it again, but wasn't able to replicate it, so it's just mysterious for now.

I had similiar wierdness that cleared itself up.

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

The posts numbers got frelled on a previous testing, so I yanked all the post-read tables. And I jimmied some thread numbers in BBaBB, so that's why Jessica's post looks odd.

In fact, don't get attached to any data on .net. Could disappear at any time.

Jesse -- similar to DX? And also unreplicatable?

Sue, you're good to go.

Yes. For a minute, it seemed like I had no subscriptions -- "Read New" brought me to an empty Message Center. But it got better.

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

Do you still need more testers? I can do some starting tonight.
