In the spirit of starting the year off on the right foot, I've cleared out my Ignored Users list, but found that the link provided for that function didn't work for one user -- I believe it's because the user name had an embedded space, and that needs to be mapped to an underbar for it to work properly.

Can some God-like being check this out for me? I sure do appreciate the updates though -- it's nice to have all those settings broken up across various sections.

Update: Added a link to the Ignored Users page as per jdporter's request. Note that this page has different content for each user.

    /ignore and /unignore now allow spaces in their argument (since there aren't any subsequent arguments).

        yes or yes or no. Though, the middle one is a better choice for preventing bad habits.

      I entered /unignore Mystery_User_With_Spaces in the CB, and that worked, but the link from 'Unignore' on the page in question didn't work. I haven't tried the /unignore with spaces -- no doubt it works.

        The link from the ignored user page worked for me. I tested it before I declared it fixed. I tested it again and it still works for me (yes, I'm testing on a user with a space in their name, but it's okay, because he doesn't care what we think about him).
