I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Could you just input a list of blockees somewhere?

Dear Lord -- how many people do you intend to block?! ;^)

Just to see if I could, I have about 100 people blocked right now. I'm scrolling through a lot of pages with nothing but me and the odd post.

Interesting thing: when I go back to the set profile list, the order of those blocked seems to change. Always the last people blocked since I last was on my profile at the bottom of the list. But then the group that were at the bottom of the list move to the top of the list next time. It's not a but or a feature, just something I noticed.

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

I think we meant to change that to alpha order. Let me have a look.

Jon, it's more that I like not having to search for a person, then find them, then block them. Blocking inthread is fantastic. But if anyone already knows who they want to block (and I'm sure many do) it would be nice to be able to input their username (like you would on LJ) without having to search them out.

Also, is there a way to alphabetize the list of people you have blocked (as opposed to most recent blockee on the bottom) on the profile page. It would make it easier to unblock or to locate a person if you've blocked them inadvertantly.

eta Sue is so smart. Funny xpost.

Okay, we're alphabetised.

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

I wasn't able to recreate the problem with the reloading and having the post still be blocked.

Oh well.

You're fired.

I don't have Lee's problem, but I had one Debetesse noticed. If you unblock a single post and then block a different user, when it reloads, you still have the single post unblocked (which was cool). If you leave the thread and come back, then the post will be blocked again.

I t heart the filter!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Have you included a snarky error message for someone who tries to block his own posts?

Is this a problem? How would you prefer it to work?

Nah. We just went with prevention.
