I just noticed that if I type @USERNAME in a comment, once posted that username shows up as a hyperlink to the user's profile.
For example (just to pick on two regulars here), if I type @PAFBABS or @ilbbaicnl, you can browse directly to their profiles from this post.
What I'm curious of is: does tagging a user name send a notification to that user too? Paf and Ilb, did you all get notifications from this post?
Truth is speaking for myself, I appreciate @founders efforts to improve his site. That said I’d prefer not having to figure out how to use this platform over and again every few months.
I did not get an alert that my name had been used. Clicking on my name led to my page with my contributions going back to 2006.
LOVE IT. Thank you, @founder
It does not seem like this feature is wired up to send alerts yet.
Like, I'll try to ping myself, @RonJax2, to see if I get a notification.
And I did not get notified. @Founder is this something you plan to add?
That would be an awesome feature, that way if someone references a comment I made I don't miss it, or have to scroll through old threads to see if someone responded.
@RonJax, it should be working now.
You probably didn't get notified because you sent the message
@mamisan
Hmmm nothing came up. Weird.
@lapdanceking82
WTF, there must be a glitch in the system.
@shailynn, nothing pops up. I'm not sophisticated enough to program that.
@apoopdeep
apoopdeep Where are you brother?
Wow I didn’t realize @apoopdeep was still active.
Still one of my favorite lines ever on TUSCL, when he was reminiscing about working at Subway and how he missed and squirting his mayo on buns.
@muddy tried to tag me but I think the space in my user name fools the code.
it is a work in progress by founder. hopefully all the good features return soon. and are even improved!
