Really, the only ones I would advocate for are having mark/block return to the same place on the page, and labeling bookmarks.
Zoe: Next time we smuggle stock, let's make it something smaller. Wash: Yeah, we should start dealing in those black-market beagles.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nilly, the storage space isn't dependent on where they're displayed -- they'll be stored only the once, no matter if they're shown everywhere.
If it is decided that they should be on thread pages -- then I'd be vehemently for functionality similar to PF and WX -- the option to have or not have them displayed.

The former is already implemented, and the latter is coded, but not prettified or tested.

Oh, sorry, I didn't understand that.
the option to have or not have them displayed.
And again, I'm with you on that.

What is even happening?
labeling bookmarksThis. Oh, and if it is on the list, I missed it, but what about the search function, or some modified/limited revamp of it? I wouldn't care if it had to be done on a thread by thread basis, and even if it was limited to X number of posts. But it sure was handy. I miss search.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
DXM, list.
I like how half of them are "Dana votes for this, ita says it's unneeded."
I wouldn't want pictures attached to posts. This format is cool as is. Pictures in the user profiles I wouldn't mind, though.
There's work being done on the ability to search for user profiles, right? To find their e-mail address, etc.?

No, because no one's specced it out. There was talk of searching by e-mail address, and vague mentions. Also, bear in mind that searching on "Polter-Cow" is one thing and "Polter Cow" is another. It mightn't be the godsend that people envision.
As for the thread search function -- it's been coded, but not tested. Warning -- it may prove to be too big a resource drain even with the modified implementation (the index files are HUGE), so it mightn't make it to prime time anyway.
P-C -- that's because Dana showed up and offered opinions, which most other people didn't do. So there wasn't anyone else to disagree with, for the most part.

Woo! And, duh. Apparently I don't mark enough to notice....

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Searching user list by e-mail address
If nothing else, I'd like to have this on the Maintain Users page, just for those times when an email shows up in the admin mailbox that says "I've forgotten both my username and password. Can you tell me what they are?" so we can help them out.
That said, I'm not sure how helpful such a feature would be to the community in general, since a lot of folks hide their addresses anyway.
I'm for "fixing the first post issue" and "enforcing no posts past 10,000."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I love labelling bookmarks, think photos are unnecessary, hope search can work someday, and don't think I care about any of the other stuff.
