## <a id="q2" />Can I configure multiple domains with the same code instance?
You can do that. What you can't do is point two different domains at the same database.
As long as .htconfig.php exists to keep it from trying to do an install, you can keep the real config in `include/$hostname/.htconfig.php`

## <a id="q3" />What is the difference between blocked|ignored|archived|hidden contacts?
We prevent direct communication with blocked contacts. They are not included in delivery, and their own posts to you are not imported; however their conversations with your friends will still be visible in your stream. If you remove a contact completely, they can send you another friend request. Blocked contacts cannot do this. They cannot communicate with you directly, only through friends.
Ignored contacts are included in delivery - they will receive your posts. However we do not import their posts to you. Like blocking, you will still this person's comments to posts made by your friends.
[A plugin called "blockem" can be installed to collapse/hide all posts from a particular person in your stream if you desire complete blocking of an individual, including his/her conversations with your other friends.]
An archived contact means that communication is not possible and will not be attempted (perhaps the person moved to a new site and removed the old profile); however unlike blocking, existing posts this person made before being archived will be visible in your stream.
A hidden contact will not be displayed in any "friend list" (except to you). However a hidden contact will appear normally in conversations and this may expose his/her hidden status to anybody who can see the conversation.
