I think it's better if the default is deliberately unhide.

I'm not so sure. From a privacy standpoint, I think displaying one's email to all users should be an opt-in. If there's an "emergency", stompies can see everyone's email already.

Umm, that's what I was saying, that it's better if the default is that the user must deliberately unhide their address.

Oh.

Never mind....

Labeling marked posts would be my number one. I'd still love to see an option for user pics on profile pages, but understand if resources don't allow.

I would like:

• labelling of bookmarks. Still my favorite.

• quick edit for block quote whitefont text (I can do it now w/o the quickedit, but... that'd be cool).

This would be neat, but I don't really feel strongly:

• the pictures in profiles option, but I don't like the idea of having them on the thread pages. So, I'd like to have the option to turn them off, if they're there.

• user styles options, but only if it's not a gigantic PITA

Also:

• I like the way taglines work, but I wouldn't care if it changed.

• I am both highly amused by and highly opposed to Kat's suggestion of direct transcription of thoughts to posting box.

For the rest, I either don't understand (which is fine) or don't think they're needed/in need of change.

Other than user pictures in thread pages with no way to turn them off, there's nothing I'd object to, though. I just mostly don't have an opinion one way or the other on a lot of it.

I too would like to be able to label bookmarks.

I don't care about pictures either in the user profile or on the page.

I have no use for user styles options given that I'd leave it here. But I don't object to it.

I'd love for tags to live with the post, but that's a me thing. I like knowing what I thought tagable. As it is, my tag graveyard in my user profile also works fine.

I still want direct transcription of my thoughts so I don't have to bother with typing. But I fear it would be a lot of "So, this is what happened today.... oh look, shiny!...how do you spell superciliious...what was I thinking....oh yeah... you know, I think I need plastic surgery... then I had what's it called... I should check my bank balance.... oh, I know I'm forgetting something.... what was I thinking again."

I have not said so specifically, but I would like to loudly and vocally clamor for the labelling of bookmarks.

Also, the right to split infinitives when I feel like it but still criticize others for doing it.

::clears throat::

No need to clamour for the bookmark thing. It's in alpha.

I'm for "fixing the first post issue" and "enforcing no posts past 10,000."

Both already implemented.

About the search -- not only are e-mail addresses often hidden, so many people have more than one, that it's hard to know who's calling themselves what. So I'm not sure it's that valuable -- except from the admin POV, when we get support e-mails from people who forget to put their IDs. But can't we just beat those people up?

Also, no split infinitives.

I've found that a search through the new-users mailbox for the email address usually solves the problem.

It works for users from around ID# 900 or so on.
