  - Ok this is weird. I unblock them on one browser and they still show blocked on another. Do I need to log out and back in for those changes to take? -- nm - spamlet Sep 1, 12:17 2
    - Oh, that might be a recent bug due to a framework upgrade ... yes, logging back in will probably jog it -- nm - Beryllium Sep 1, 12:24 1

Look, I don't want to buy a Tesla OR use Twitter. - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 1, 11:25 28
