User blog comment:LadyAlys/Beta site testing for new messaging and blocking features/@comment-174.91.193.96-20141121053630

OK, so this is what I found:

1) I don't know if this is a bug with the messaging system or just in general, but when I click on a user's name, often the wrong profile will come up. when I close the profile and try a second time, it usually changes to the right one. someone else mentioned this to me to, so I know I'm not the only one having this problem.

2) the blocking system seems to be working. I tried it with two different people. the only awkward thing is that I can still send messages to someone who I've blocked, which seems to be a little bit unbalanced, I think that blocking another user should automatically prevent me from sending messages to them as well. I know that they could block me back, but it seems more practical to just make it go two ways in the first place.

3) the "block" button looks very confusing because it seems to be a sign to exit the person's profile, not a blocking button. I often click on it by accident and only realize that it's a blocking button afterwards - maybe the picture should be changed? Or moved? not sure about that, but again, I was not the only person who found it confusing.

4) deleting messages works as it should. everything else I've tried seems to be in order, and I think I covered pretty much everything.

random fact: I can message myself. I can even block myself. I don't know what the purpose of that would be, but it was very fun.
