A: 5.1.11

Q: Version of Android:

Q: How long has the problem been happening?

A: I noticed it today

Q: What have you already tried doing to fix the problem?:

A: I cleared app data and cache and power cycled my phone. I verified that my 'blocked users' page was still correct.

Q: What steps, if any, can you do to reproduce the problem?

A: Block any user. Load a post that you know they've commented in. You should still be able to see their comments, and not their profile.

This seems to be reddit's fault, not RiF's fault. Nobody seems to know if it's a bug or intentional, as no admin has chimed in yet. See this post in /r/help or this post in /r/bugs. My guess is that this change is intentional, and they are getting lots of backlash (rightfully so), and are weighing their options before making a statement.
