I’m getting married!  Category: Rant

If you are reading this, you are officially fooled by me. But now that I have your attention, I hope you read the rest of it.

Not all of you visit the forum every day; specially not every thread, so I thought this would be the best way to grab your attention. And, it’s about the new feature we have for replying/quoting others comments.


Once you are using @ to reply anyone’s comment, the correct method is to give a space between the user name and the colon ( : ). The usernames are not case sensitive, so you can simply write the username as how you want.

 

Here are few examples:


@fishdalf : Comment
@bizzy : Comment
@ilias : Comment
@CANANA : Comment
@fETUSzERO :


These will all work if you spell the username as it is and use a space after the username.

Though you can just copy the username from his comment on your blog. In that case the font will be bigger than usual. To make it look normal, click the Source button from the editor and remove the <*h4> html code that lies before the username. Obviously you’ll notice a / in the place of *.


On another note, GOTY emblems have been distributed. Check this blog, if you haven’t seen them yet and check this list if you haven’t received any yet. I'm not sure about the requirements of both the emblems. Keep an eye on the Emblem quide for updates from canana.

 

Edit: I forgot to mention that the notifications take certain time to reach your tab.

 

Update: I was just informed by one of the developers that the Notification will work only if you post one single reply using @. Multiple replies in one post won’t send any notification. But this is for the time being, they are fixing this bug.

Damn i was fooled i was gona congratulate u , oh well Tongue out , but gotta say it really got my attention :lol:

Anyway i try to visit the forum everyday but it always stops loading or loads really really slow so i get tired of waiting and just close the tab, ( so if anyone can help me that would be great)

and thats a really great feature there . will be using it a lot. Laughing

mm.. a space before the colon.. that looks strange lol, I never did put space before a colon in my entire life, but I'll get used to it when replying ;p

I managed to get one GOTY emblem despite not being there much during the holidays, muahahaha. 4 emblems now!

And I thought you were getting married lol. But all is good, you used my name in your example ;p

lolz. Congrats in advance sweety Wink Thnx for the update.

canana

on Jan 24, 2010

Congratulations Tanya! Who is the lucky guy?

On an unrelated note, I'm not receiving user notifications but probably because the system isn't well implemented, but I'm sure our devs are working on it. But yeah, I think it's time for updating the emblem guide, it's been a while since the last update. Congratulations for your new emblems.

@Koshai : I hope now you aren't Wink

@Darksider : I suppose I was successful to grab your attention  I know that feeling about the forum loading time. Wait for few more months. The devs are working on it Smile

@FetusZero : I should thank you for what you were doing. I studied mostly your blog comments and the way Ron was replying comments. I got my answer from there. It's the space you weren't using didn't send any notifications to your blog readers. I hope you now get used to it Wink You went half mia during the event. You could've unlocked both of them. But I have a feeling that you will unlock a lot more soon Smile

@farzana : I'm not getting married dear. It was an intentional typo

@canana : I thought you already knew it Tongue out Check your Notification tab and see that you've received this one Wink

Awesome. Thanks for the update.

FetusZero

on Jan 24, 2010

Strange thing is that it works sometimes.. I got the notification that you mentioned me on the Capcom and Microsoft news page, yet I didn't get your notification from mentionning me on your blog's comments. 0.o

Does this mean I won't be able to make it blue like I used to for a little while? Though it should still work lol. I'll see when I actually reply to someone on my blogs.

biZZy

on Jan 24, 2010

hahaha you couldn't fool biZZy Tongue out I read your PM before noticing your blog. A girl sounds a lot different before getting married Tongue out & Of course I can't expect a LAW student to break the ACT either Tongue out In fact there are some other reason too

Thanks for the update Laughing I was kinda kicking myself for not signing up with username "bizzy" cause "biZZy" is tough to type & people were writng biZZY, BiZZy, Bizzy etc

Questions :

1. If I mention someone in a wrong way & then if I edit that to perfection; will it work ? Or should I delete that specific comment & post a new comment instead?

2. How many people can be mentioned in a single comment? Will all of them receive notifications?

PROVIDE US SOME UPDATES ON HISTORY PAGE Smile

Tanya

on Jan 24, 2010

@Scientist : You are welcome Smile

@FetusZero : I think it takes certain amount of time to reach the tabs.

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 24, 2010

@biZZy : LOL. I guess I'm not clever enough for you Tongue out Damn I should've sent another late reply Tongue out Anyway, you have two very good questions. I've already PMed one of the developers. Wait till he replies me.

@Tanya - Sounds like a cool feature. Are you really getting married?

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 24, 2010

@AC55 : LOL. Not yet.

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 24, 2010

@tanya : haha Laughing you're cleverer than me undoubtedly except some of these cases Tongue out I don't think a late reply would work either Tongue out

Many users also have this question :

Will forum quote send any notification in near future? that'd be nice too Smile

on Jan 24, 2010

30 comments already!? You succeeded in getting people's attention, that's for sure lol. We'll have a lot of hard work on our hands, that "everybody gets married" thing got some attention too lol.

@Koshai :
No worries, I'm not the one who has the most guests to bring over lol.


@Sleven :
Only one more year then!

Can I be invited to the wedding?  I've got a lot of really cool penguin themed wedding stuff and I can make a cake shaped like the noobfeed logo, it'll be great times. Tongue out

biZZy

@koshai : I'll try to convey your words to him Tongue out He might have other plans Tongue out

@Sleven : hey Don't; Senior's first Tongue out

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 25, 2010

@FetusZero : It works only for a single reply. If I reply someone else using another @ in this same comment, no one will get the notification. One post for each reply. But it's for the time being. The devs are fixing it.

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 25, 2010

@biZZy : 1. Once you edit the post, it'll work perfectly. 2. For now only one can be mentioned in each post but it's only for few days. The devs are fixing it.

What updates you want on History page?

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 25, 2010

@BrunoBRS : If you mention more than one person then only the first person will receive it. This glitch was found yesterday when I asked the devs to check my blog. They are fixing it Wink

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 25, 2010

Thanks for the info Smile

How does history page work ? If a post or comment is edited history page shows both the previous & edited ones Smile plus deletion of posts doesn't remove the history. Now you've edited this blog many times & check your history page; it'll say you've written this blog so many times. it isn't that much of a problem but still a bit disturbing Tongue out

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 25, 2010

@biZZy : Well, that's why it's called the history page. It'll keep each and every single thing you do. Specially when it comes to posting and editing.

Suppose you've posted a blog and did something wrong, which gets reported by another user. You quickly edit the blog and claim that you didn't do anything wrong. But now that we have our history page, there is no way to cover this up. This is just negative thinking by me. But if you want to track any user's contributions or keep an eye on his/her activities, there is no other alternatives but the history page Wink

BrunoBRS

so for now what am i supposed to do, multi-post?

hihihihi..I was kinda happy...but oh well..Tongue out

I'm still confused with the notification thing..Frown

on Jan 25, 2010

Wow.. you got me Smile.

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 25, 2010

@Tanya - Agreed 100% Smile Someone I know who suffered without making any mistake Tongue out So we must have records of everything over the history page. some more features like poll votes, tagging, logging in etc (other than posting & commenting) should also be added Smile

Still I have question. See clearly the History page again. If I make a post or blog or comment which is of 5/6 lines & make a mistake in the 4th line then the history page wont show that, right? So even if i edit you can't still catch me Tongue out All you can do is to click the More >> Button but that'll take you to the edited post. Am I correct?

& I also have the same queation as Bruno Smile

avatar

RON

on Jan 25, 2010

The admins have the tools to see it.  We can see everything. Every single post and no matter how many times it has been edited. But the History page is mostly for normal tracking. A shortcut to find out that what a user has been upto.

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 25, 2010

@Nirvana : What confuses you? It's very simple. If you use an @ before any username, s/he will receive an notification saying that you've replied her/him in a blog. If you check your profile now, you'll see that your notification tag has a message saying that Tanya has replied you in a comment. Remember, you can only view them when you visit your profile. Not when you keep your blog open.

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 26, 2010

@biZZy : See what Ron had to say about history page. I suppose he had your answer Wink

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 26, 2010

@ron: Thanks for the info Smile

Are we getting the forum quote notifications next? Can you consider Multiple Quote option for forum? Though I know we still can do it manually.

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 26, 2010

@Tanya : yep I've had my answers Smile

& for notifications, you can only see latest 5 if you are on your profile without opening any of your blogs. But if you are on your blogs then there is always the More >> Button to take you there Smile

i have something shocking to say...

shin just mentioned me on a comment, and it worked.

but he didn't separate my name from the colon O_o

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 27, 2010

@BrunoBRS: Yea I saw that. Let's see if this works or not.

Edit: It did Surprised As far as I know the devs are still working on fixing multiple replies. Maybe they have removed the space restriction too.

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 27, 2010

@Tanya : Does it work with 'space' now ? let me check

P.S. I see 50+ comments Surprised & I'm afraid about that blog when you'll really be getting married Tongue out

avatar

Tanya

on Jan 27, 2010

@biZZy: It is working without the space. I'm surprised. And, I suppose there will be a century then Wink

avatar

biZZy

on Jan 27, 2010

@Tanya: oops! using 'space' didn't work Surprised So now it seems COLON (Smile is a must & has to be used right after the username without any space.

Now does that mean using DASH (-) wont work? Some people use dashes & what about the space after the colon ? Needs some more experiments. I'll do some tonight Smile

Oh and sorry to disappoint you Frown You won't even get this much comments as hopefully there wont be many glitches Tongue out Each & everyone will say two things; which are - "Congratulations, be happy all throughtout your life. By the way, who is the unlucky guy?" Tongue out

EDIT : Still there are some glitches as I can see this comment didn't send any notification. Deleting spaces in between usernames & colons also not helping. But I mentioned koshai as "@Koshai:" & it worked Surprised Meanwhile Some people are neither using dash nor colon & their ones are also working Laughing

BrunoBRS

on Jan 27, 2010

well shin turned it into an emoticom by accident and it still worked Tongue out
