DCJ, I didn't mean to jump at you. I think it could be handy too, but to me, the dangers of abuse outweigh its beneficial aspects.
That's the thrill of living in the Hellmouth! There's a veritable cornucopia of fiends and devils and ghouls to engage ... Pardon me for finding the glass half-full.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Sometimes, if a thing comes to easily, we don't value it. If you need to block the whole board, the investment of doing it one poster at a time will be reward in and of itself.

I assume the admin profile will be blinvisible proof, right?

All is well that ends in pizza.
I don't have to be sold. I really do understand. I was just saying I have a habit of extreme naiveté in my proposals.

You can't leave me to my own devices; my devices are Nap and Eat. -Zenkitty
Bitches will load for me, but not if I want it to load starting from post number 8026.
Actually, this has been a regular problem for me lately, on WinME, in IE 6.0, while connecting on PeoplePC dialup. I'll go to read some new posts, and that thread will not load in the active window, if I copy and paste the address, it won't load in another window. If I disconnect and reconnect, it still won't load.

And now, if I try to load just the last 100 posts in Bitches, it loads, but not all the way. The page craps out about halfway down. It ends at post 8008, no posting box, no nothing.

I didn't have any problems using the filter. Everything worked the way I expected. Love the alphabetization of names in the profile page, btw.

I think it's just my stupid, crappy, extremly hated, pice of crap PeoplePC dialup connection. I disconnected and reconnected, and now it's loading fine.
People, if you can help it, don't get PeoplePC. They'll tell you your crapppy connection problems are because of line noise.
However, I never had this problem while using the SBC!Yahoo dialup connection, so not so much with the line noise, jackasses.

Hey. New board.
Hmm. I kinda want to get activated on buffistas.net. For future testing if nothing else...
