Tagging and +1

i agree, the new white knight rule looks too ambiguous to me, i mean is it really required? not like the new quotes change the way we read and post in threads (regarding discussions between several people.)

on the other topics, i like the quotes as they are, i can see who quoted me, and i can see a list of threads where i've been quoted, that's perfect as is.

one question though, and this goes back to out last discussion where i mentioned the [MENTION=9484]Person[/MENTION] quote system, you said it wouldn't work with people that had spaces in their names, how does that work now? if it works.

Testing.

[MENTION=8539]Aj Alexander[/MENTION]

[mention=8539]Space Spaceeee[/mention]

e; Works. Shinku mind if I test something using you?

second quote takes me to the first quote o.O

and sure, go ahead.

[mention=7678]I will take that as a yes[/mention]

Shinku, do you get a notif for that mention?

[mention=7678]I will take that as a yes[/mention]

Shinku, do you get a notif for that mention?

try again? i was on this thread, so i dunno if that caused me to not get it, i'll go browse a different part of the forums this time.

k, attempt #2:

[mention=7678]DargenMan[/mention]

[MENTION=3288]lorx[/MENTION]

nope, what about you? wrote your name right

[MENTION=3288]lorx[/MENTION]

nope, what about you? wrote your name right

Worked. I was messing around with the BBC that the @ stuff turns into, I understand the system more or less now. Cool stuff.

mind sharing then?

If you edit or quote a post with a mention in it, you'll see the following BBC.

[mention=# ] X [ /mention]

# The member's ID number, Fiel being 1, you being 7678, me being 3288, etc.
X Being the name mentioned.

Looks like # just serves as a pointer for who's profile the mention links to, and X is who actually gets notified. Though it could be that if # doesn't match X, it just doesn't notify anybody. Isn't really useful for me to test which is which, since all I wanted to know is if I could mention, say, Viaje, as "Pretty Pretty Princess" and for him to still get the notif.

Only place I see doing a mention manually being useful, is if there's a confliction in usernames. So if you wanted to notify somebody named "Eos The Poptart" but the regular way just notified Eos himself.

not much over what i know then, btw, the quote i did of you earlier, i wrote manually (as in mention=#, name, then close tag) instead of the @crap, so if you did get notified, it could be that it has to match? not sure and eos isn't answering, probably recharging batteries or something.

I did get it.

This mention has some random (inactive) guy's #, but your name:

[MENTION=7678]ShinkuDragon[/MENTION]

This mention has some random (inactive) guy's #, but your name:

[MENTION=7678]ShinkuDragon[/MENTION]

and i got it, so i guess it's what's between the parenthesis that count.

also, my mentions got cleaned.

Last try: [MENTION=7678]ShinkuDragon[/MENTION]

edit: Yeah, it also autocompletes the user number if you just use the (mention)(/mention) with the name in the middle.

To expand on that [MENTION=1087]Shidoshi[/MENTION], it actually replaces any number you put in manually as well, so long as the username actually exists. The test with the inactive guy's # but Shinku's name actually replaced the # with 7678 (Shinku). However if the username doesn't exist (DargenMan test), then it leaves the # as-is, since there's no number to replace it. So # is completely pointless to ever fill out, unless you're really being crafty. Would be a half-decent-ish way to link to somebody's profile without actually mailing off a notif, but that's probably about it.

Suppose only one unknown thing left, if somebody mentions you in a forum you have no access to (Eos' Super-Secret Bunnygirl House, Donator forum, Mod forum, whatever), do you still get the notif? Would assume you either get the notif but get a "no access LOL" error message if you click on it, or you get nothing at all.

just came to say i got the notif*

Oh come on sarah when have I ever fought any battle for you don't flatter yourself, you maybe a princess but you're one who wears a dress made out of bullets.

Nice add on for the hide/show feature on +1s.

That's not unknown. You get nada.
